all midge points wiped

@shinynewapple2020

Some lyrics and a theme !

So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
80s

And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how so I feel
80s

They tell me you're shy boy
But I want you just the same
80s

I don't wanna hurt you baby
I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground girl
70s

Sail away I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
90s

But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
70s

She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
70s

Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
80s

I want him for myself
I wanna lock him down
I want that ring on my finger
Like I want that crown
2018

Third from the bottom is Babooshka, kaye bush (Sliding in before FlouncingB for once)

The one about there I'll be waiting, anticipating sounds like the bounty advert!

Arrrgh! Kate, not Kaye!

I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kinda mean
But me and my old lady
Had fallen into the same old dull routine
70s

What's shiny's theme?

@perditasugarplum

Don't be shy!! Tell us..!

He said the band name sound like synchronised sex.

😂😂

That's the pina colada song. Can't remember who sang it. I always thought it was billy joel, but it's not

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

What's shiny's theme?

Don't know!

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf Yes, but can you remember the actual title? It was by Rupert Holmes 😊

We need some more answers before the theme is guessed. So far a bit too random.

But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
70s

Shiny, I think this one goes 'because its you babe, whenever I get weary and I've had enough' is it 'you babe'? Can't remember artist though!

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf Yes, but can you remember the actual title? It was by Rupert Holmes 😊[/quote]
I thought it was called the pina colada song.

So basically, I don't know the artist or the song title.

And yet, I still get the points 🤣🤣🤣

Ok random stab in the dark - is the Theme about our "lyric off" tomorrow night?
Inxs Need you tonight - we need everyone there.
Babooshka - we want FB there
Gloria Estafan 123, points? Countdown?
Someone mentioned blue Monday - tomorrow is Monday

Said it was random 🤣

It was actually called Escape

It must be that! I thought that too, but my hangover wouldn't let me put it into words 😂

@CoffeeBeansGalore

They tell me you're shy boy But I want you just the same 80s

Gloria Estefan 1 2 3

Correct Coffee

@Fleamaker123

The song is called Babe and it's by Styx

Ooh coffee you are very close but you've not picked up the clues correctly !

Have a look at the other lyrics posted abs have another guess !

There are 4 songs left to guess - the theme should be obvious when you get those songs !

The winter solstice/longest night is tomorrow . . .

@NeedToKnow101 was the OMD one Souvenir??

I was waiting for the elf to spot the OH guessing Inxs!🤣🤣

Hang on I guessed inxs. Dh just corrected my song title

See my post at 17.23.

And I'm docking you 10 points for failing to read my posts with due care and attention

And I can hear this one, male, sounds similar to Phil Collins but obviously not. Argggh

Coincidentally the singer was in Genesis for a whole.

Honey, well done, it was indeed Solsbury Hill.

Is there any thread etiquette I need to know please? I'm an expert at putting my foot in it - deeply!
