Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions 😊

@perditaplum Don't be too rude (see @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf 😁) , have a sense of humour, name the decade for your lyrics, mainly 70s-90s but we do push the boundaries from time to time.
And tomorrow evening will be fun! It's a nice thread and we are lovely really 😊

[quote Honeyroar]@NeedToKnow101 was the OMD one Souvenir??

I was waiting for the elf to spot the OH guessing Inxs!🤣🤣[/quote]
@Honeyroar - correct!

And are you mad thinking ShelfElf could have missed the DH guess? She's all seeing.. you should know that by now.. (shivers in fear)

@perditasugarplum

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!

Everything @CoffeeBeansGalore said @perditasugarplum ... and of course.. no Googling! Welcome! You got off to a cracking start 😂😘

We like having people come and play.

No real rules, but it's helpful to put up a decade. If it's a very well known song, not too many lyrics needed. If it's more obscure, a few more will be appreciated. If no one gets it, we might ask for more lines.

Don't be insulted if you put up a post that gets ignored. It's probably just no one who is around at that point knows them.

There's a bit of teasing, no harm meant. We're all quite fond of each other. Mostly.

I get all the points. The points are mythical. Only needtoknow really cares

I did see it needtoknow, and commented

I know. I saw.

Bonus point!

I am hopelessly lost...I don’t suppose there’s anything outstanding? Can’t believe I missed Babooshka!

Hugs to @WhipperSnapperSteve - I’m so sorry to hear your news. I know we can’t really help but we’re all here for support and hopefully a bit of distraction.

. Welcome to the thread.

Will try to post some lyrics later but may have had a little too much 🍷.

DH currently doing a great job of detangling the most ridiculously long string of fairy lights so I feel I need to go and look like I’m being vaguely helpful...

Some more lyrics to the ones that haven't been guessed

When a problem comes along
You must xxxx xx
Before the cream sits out too long
You must xxxx xx
80s

I don't wanna hurt you baby
I don't wanna see you cry
Stay on the ground girl
You better not get too high
70s

Always laughin, always jokin
I remain the same
Did I tell you that I love you?
Brush your teeth and pour a cup of
Xxxx xxxxxxxx
90s

I like him for his smile
I like him for his hair
I like him for his style
I like him cos he's so debonair
He's my xxxxxx xxx
2018

Already guessed

Blue Monday - new order
Need you tonight - INXS
Babooshka -Kate bush
123 - Gloria Estefan
Babe - Styx

Coffee's guess was very nearly right - my theme is less complicated !

Hi @FlouncingBabooshka
See above outstanding lyrics and theme

I don't wanna hurt you baby
I don't wanna see you cry
Stay on the ground girl
You better not get too high
70s

Shiny, Honey Honey, Abba
This has been driving me mad 😂

Oh I see what you've done Shiny! It's us❤️

Aww😘

@Fleamaker123

Oh I see what you've done Shiny! It's us❤️

Well done @Fleamaker123 🙂👏⭐️

Can you get the other songs now ?

Ahem! I did that threads ago

What did you do for flea? I had trouble with that one, I recall. I ended up putting up lyrics from the red hot chili peppers cos I couldn't find anything better

Well we’ve all got Alzheimer’s anyway, which means the same songs and themes come round and round. (Apart from Perdita’s Sheffield duo hopefully!🤣)

Oh. Flea is gloria estefan. Clever. I'm numbers blind!

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Ahem! I did that threads ago

Well you didn't guess it !!

I confess I had to google for a song for you. It's the 2018 one .

So who is missing from the list? Coffee. Steve
Me. Who else?

Oh yes I remember now 🤣
I've got a memory like a goldfish!

. Details.

I'm not sure I know many 2018 songs.
Christmas elf?
Trophy wife?

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

So who is missing from the list? Coffee. Steve Me. Who else?

You 3 have got songs

I couldn't think of anything for carnage at the garden centre or perdita.

I meant to add in Twig the wonder kid abs jumped up pantry boy but I forgot

. Welcome to the thread.

Thank you. Sorry for the NC confusion, I did a xmas name change hence sugar plum as we were watching Nutcracker.

I'll banish the Sheffield duo to elsewhere

Oh I can think of one for Perdita. But you’d have to know which Shakespeare play Perdita ess from.

And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that failed?
(80s?)
