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

This ones for Carnage -

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I’ll make a wish, send it to heaven
and make you want to cry
(90s)

• is from not ess from. And Perdita’s song is festive.

@Honeyroar

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?)

I knew anyway that perdita is from a winter's tale (exit persued by a bear!)

Which is also a track by David essex

When I googled perdita it bought up 101 dalmations

Hmmm... a song featuring a jumped up pantry boy 🤔

Nice (if not entirely original) idea for a theme, shiny ❤

Even I worked out the name change! 😃. Love the Nutcracker. I saw it last year for the first time and adored it.

Google is a heathen, shiny

Pantry boy -

I know my heart can make you happy
I know these arms can feel you up
(80s & 90s)

These are getting a bit tenuous, I must admit!

Songs not guessed were

Whip it
Black Coffee
Trophy Boy

Ha. That's jump (for my love) honey.
Is that pointer sisters again?

Very good, shiny.

@Honeyroar

This ones for Carnage -

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I’ll make a wish, send it to heaven
and make you want to cry
(90s)

Truly Madly Deeply?

Could we have this one for Pereira?

Show me your motion
Tra la la la la
70s

It's not the title though

Perdita shoots self in head

She looks like a sugar in a plum

Brown girl in the ring

Ah! Shiny is on the ball. But she needs the band for Truly madly deeply or it doesn’t work!

Ah! Savage garden

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky

They are tonight. Just been out with one of the dogs. It's already frosty & the sky is gorgeous.

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Bonus point!

Thanks ElfShelf. You know how much an imaginary bonus point means to me ❤️

What's going on? So we all have a song is that the theme? Is Perdita a name change?
It's all too much for me tonight ..

Must be lovely living somewhere where you can see all the stars.. ⭐️🌟💫✨

Great theme @shinynewapple2020 ❤️

I love it, no light pollution here so we get some stunning views. We could see Mars a few weeks ago.

Lovely theme, thank you @shinynewapple2020 😊

Excellent festive name change @perditasugarplum.

Lovely them @shinynewapple2020 - very clever. I would have got Honey Honey but had to put my iPad down as I was supposed to be watching something with subtitles (rather too challenging after all that 🍷 Mr FB) and it had been guessed by the time I came back to it.

Here are a few more on the same theme

80s
I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook

60s/70s
I'm stepping through the door

70s
She’s uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him.

70s
You think it's wrong
I can tell you do
How can I explain
When you don't want me to

80s
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't you see what I mean?

80s
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

80s
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
