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

@NeedToKnow101 that’s Eurythmics- Who’s that girl?

Who's that girl eurythmics

[quote Honeyroar]@NeedToKnow101 that’s Eurythmics- Who’s that girl?[/quote]
Correct @Honeyroar 🙌🏼😘

@CoffeeBeansGalore

And I never know, girl If I should stay or go 'Cause the games that you play Keep driving me away Originally 70s, famous cover in 90s (I thought the 90s one was original )

For bonus points original was The Osmonds, covered by Boyzone

I would still be concerned at my grip on reality @NeedToKnow101

@Honeyroar

Who’s not speaking to you elf? The voices in your head?

Gloria?

And Rockin all over the world was Status Quo.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Correct to Abba, Supertrooper.

I quite like elephants. Shouldn't be kept in sheds though . . .

Sheep shouldn't sleep in sheds, sheep should sleep in shacks. As you were.

1980s:
It's sheep we're up against (sheep we're up against, sheep we're up against, sheep we're up against)
It's sheep we're up against (sheep we're up against, sheep we're up against, sheep we're up against)
Oh yeah

@CoffeeBeansGalore

It is...Aha, I have a cunning plan: deux points. Bit of foreign lingo always sneaks under the radar, si?

If I, I get to know your name
Well I could trace
Your private number, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
80s

And all my last few songs have a theme inspired by @midgebabe

@NeedToKnow101

The language of love Slips from my lover's tongue Cooler than ice cream And warmer than the sun Dumb hearts get broken Just like china cups The language of love Has left me broken on the rocks 80s

Ah. Eurythmics. Who's that girl.

Daed or alive. You spin me round

Sorry @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf - Honey had already got it. Un poix deducted from t'spreadsheet .. 😘

'Daed or alive. You spin me round'

Correct ElfShelf. Point deducted for typo though I'm afraid. 😢

screams hadn't realized we were on another page.

This thread is very surreal tonight. Some of you on the Christmas sherry I suspect.

Gives @perditasugarplum a gimlet-y stare. I'm going to exercise restraint because you're new on here. Don't get used to it. sniffs

I went to see Dead or Alive in the 80's. Pete Burns kept us waiting for absolutely ages, I was right at the front near the stage getting crushed and then he only did a few songs!

NEEDTOKNOW WILL YOU STOP being so free with the points!!!

I assume you're in some happy post-Christmas haze. Too much egg-nog, I'm guessing. I'm actually worried about the bump you're gonna get when you hit the ground
Points which have been given can easily be taken away, you neneedtoknow (see what I did there!)

To be fair, flea. They only did one song worth listening to.

If she's had enough egg nog it won't hurt
