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

Oh I hate that Midge. You think you’ve loads left but you haven’t.

@Honeyroar

Hating at the faking and shaking while I’m breaking your brittle heart (80s)

Echo and the bunnymen. Dancing horses?

Evening FlouncingB. Correct with karma police

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same if you're not here with me
80s

I don’t fancy them either @Honeyroar. They sound like the sort of thing I’d resort to in extremis if there was no other chocolate in the house.

H is the designated driver and did a good job of avoiding the law.

You just posted Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen.

@Honeyroar

Well he lives next door Midge, so I could always just lob them through his window, but perhaps I’d better just eat them to comply with regulations?

Do it, honey

Sleigh ride

@shinynewapple2020 - Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley - and also Chris Isaac. Did Mud do it as well?

Correct @shinynewapple2020

Lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Isaak - stupid autocorrect.

The version I know is Shakin Stevens! That's why I put 80s

I think it was echo and the bunnymen, and it might not be dancing horses, but it definitely ISN'T killing moon

Said Santa to a boy child, "What have you been longin' for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a rock 'n' roll 'lectric guitar"
And then away went Rudolph whizzin' like a shootin' star

@CoffeeBeansGalore this is a previous verse
Now this did happen once upon a time
When things were not so complex
And how he worshipped the ground she walked on
When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed

Did you whip him while he drove Babooshka?

I brought some strawberry and mint and some orange and mint after 8s. They were from poundland. I expect they'll be disgusting , but they were v cheap!

Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow

Lots of versions

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄

@Honeyroar

Perdita is yours Baby please come home - Mariah??

Close but not quite.

It was Dancing Horses by Echo & the 🐰men

(Sorry for the delay. The cat just threw up on the new settee!)

Which decade @oohkittens?

Anyone else exhausted trying to keep up?

Perdita is yours Baby please come home by someone else?😃

Nobody got the Duran one still, you lightweights!

I think the Shakin Stevens version is the one I was thinking might have been Mud. Elvis did the original and Chris Isaak did a good version in the early 00s.

80s
The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we had to try
