There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow

@NeedToKnow101

Some random lyrics no theme.. my brain is still frazzled for some reason (afternoon drinking)

Life goes on day after day, after day, after day
Who-ha who-ha
Who-ha who-ha
80s

Some say no to the album, the show
Bum rush the sound I made a year ago
I guess you know, you guess I'm just a radical
Not a sabbatical, yes to make it critical
80s

Everybody's waitin' for me to arrive
Sendin' out the message to all of my friends
We'll be lookin' flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lotsa style, check my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean
90s

last one is Pink. Get this party started. Very apt!

Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some carolling
Originally 50s (again!) but we’ll all know the version from the 80s

Rockin around the Christmas Tree

Marvellous to have you spreading the Christmas joy there honey-pie.

I HAD to do them in a oner, as I'm sending a special Christmas message via song lyrics just for you

makes judgemental adjustment to spreadsheet

NeedToKnow101 · 21/12/2020 20:20

'Thanks needtoknow, love a bit of cheese!'
I'll do you a plate (for points of course). Got some lovely home-made chutneys and chilli jam too.
I'd better think of some more songs..

Ooo. Home made chutney and chilli jam, you say? Accidentally awards needtoknow 500 points in a cheese-fuelled frenzy of excitement

Evening all ! Looks like I've missed a lot already !

Time for parties and celebration
People dancing all night long
80s

NeedToKnow101 · 21/12/2020 20:23

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay, bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away, yeah
80s

We don't really need a crowd to have a party
Just a funky beat and you to get it started
And oh we'll dance the night away

Ahem. There's still part of my special Christmas message to be decoded
