And the third one is Mariah Carey, All I Want for Christmas is You.

If it gets to the stage that you'd rather stick pins in your eyes, I will offer help (after adjusting the points on offer, obvs), but I'd rather give it a while to give the rest of the crew a chance to have a crack at it first, if that's ok?

I can always unmuzzled needtoknow, who is currently bound and gagged in my coal scuttle to guarantee her silence

(Note to mnhq: No actual posters were harmed in the creation of this theme)

FlouncingBabooshka · 13/12/2020 19:03

Oh dear, I have a horrible feeling I know the fifth one. I think it’s Under the Moon of Love by Showaddywaddy. Blush

😂😂😂 you are funny!
ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 19:06

Well done, everyone. I think coffee pipped you to Mariah though, FlouncingB.

Ok.

Between you you've guessed all the songs.

So what's the theme?

Needtoknow, do you want to give them 20 mins/half an hour then put them out of their misery?

Again, coffee pipped you. Do you not read her posts???? Rude!
CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/12/2020 19:08

@FlouncingBabooshka sorry, pipped you to both 😁

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 19:09

She doesn't read your posts, coffee 🤷‍♀️

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/12/2020 19:11

Maybe I should start flouncing? 🤣🤣🤣

"Needtoknow, do you want to give them 20 mins/half an hour then put them out of their misery?"

What's it worth @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf ?

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 19:19

Do you want points, needtoknow? I thought you were above such things now?

If you beat her to top flouncer trophy come awards night, I can imagine the flounce-off would be epic

I'm ok for points lovely, you squirming is a reward in itself Wink
ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 19:33

Squirming? Not sure about that. But you should've seen me sweating trying to think up the theme!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/12/2020 19:36

@NeedToKnow101 yes well done, you pipped me to Whitney. Although in my defence, my internet speed is probably somewhat slower than yours 😁

SimplySteveRedux · 13/12/2020 19:36

None of them have been Christmas Number 1's?

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 19:37

So needtoknow is being coy.

Do you guys want me to tell you the theme? Or do you want to keep trying?

There's a whole other layer once you know the theme....

Very, very good, steve.

They all also share one significant thing. Can you do the extra reach.

Very well done, though. I award you 9 full points.

I was wondering if it was something like number two record at Christmas?
