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

I am cross with myself about the pretenders one, I knew I knew it.

Anyway, I just popped in, off to catering again.

'Is it that they have all had Xmas hits?'

Correct! @CarnageAtTheElfsXmasParty

Extra mince pies for you! 😘

I thought it was Mary's boy child that was the Christmas number one for boney m...did they last more than one year

And slade...was merry Christmas everybody

So is it not the Christmas hit one

Pretenders 5000 miles

No they all had Xmas hits with other songs, like the ones you just mentioned..

Afternoon... Hopefully easy, with a theme too

I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
80s

Girls grab the boys
We get wild, wild, wild
We get wild, wild, wild
70s

I got rhythm, I can't miss a beat
I got a new Skank, so reet
70s

But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you
80s
And everything you see
Is out of reach, not good enough
I don't know what the hell you want from me
80s

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
70s

I'm too late to the party, sadly.

BUT... every day's a school day. I always thought bony m sang ".... and his eyes were framed with gold". I pictured exotic Russian eyeliner! 😳

Btw, that's quite a clever theme.

For you

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

For you

.. I can almost taste your disappointment at not having thought of it yourself @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf .. time to up your game 😂❤️😍😘

Gets glint in eye
Challenge Accepted, Needtoknow!

😂🤣😂 no pressure! 😘

Ok. I've got an absolute bastard of a theme. Just remember all of you, this is Needtoknow's fault. She made me do it!

On the plus side there are gazillions of points on offer.

The songs themselves, obvs.
The theme (which I think is just c*ish *) in it's complexity and nastieness.
And then sooooo many secondary bonus points on offer, but I can't tell you what for until you've got the theme.
Ok?

ready?

• I know you're allowed to swear on MN, but you guys aren't really a swearing crowd. Although you might drop an expletive or two as you wrestle with this one.
  Remember - It's Needtoknow's fault Here we go....

All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same
80s

No man, does it all by himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf
70s

Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
90s

My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
But each time I try I just break down and cry
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
80s

I want to go all the time
You'll be my love tonight
Little darling let's walk
let's talk
70s

Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
80s

They said I wouldn't dare, to show how much I care
They didn't know we were just two angels in disguise
70s

Good Luck!

Last Christmas by Wham is in there..
and YMCA

And Saving all my love for you? Whitney, and also someone else.

My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
But each time I try I just break down and cry
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
80s

Whitney Houston Saving all my live for you

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf - I think I know the key to your answer already, but I'm gonna keep schtum for now...

I want to go all the time
You'll be my love tonight
Little darling let's walk
let's talk
Under the moon of love, Shawaddywaddy

Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

All I want for Christmas is you, Mariah Carey

I wondered if you would. PM me if you like. 0000s of points on offer if you're right.

All guesses correct. But what's the theme????

You guys are getting these sooooo much faster than the time it took me to come up with the idea and compile the list!
Is there and exhausted and drained emoji?

😫😩☔
Apparently

Is there meaning in the order they are listed?

No, actually I spent some time deliberately muddling the order up.
Sorry
