How odd that I get that and feel totally clueless as to what the song is...
It must be somewhere in your subconscious Midge 🤣

80s Lyric
I don't want charity, just half a chance
And it's all up to you, yes it's all up to you

@Fleamaker123 - it's Boogie Nights, but not by the Tramps..

Fleamaker123 · 26/12/2020 22:25

I watched them on YouTube the other night NeedToKnow101 but can't remember the name!

@Honeyroar

Well I know your love is rough And the road you take is tough But I just can’t get enough (80s)
** I was going to say just can't get enough by depeche mode but it's not is it ? Just a wild guess suggests it's somebody else...

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

Hang on, I've got some tissues somewhere, or am I missing the point ? 🤪

Honeyroar · 26/12/2020 22:33

No not Depeche Mode.

AJumpedUpChristmasElf · 26/12/2020 22:43

@Honeyroar

No not Depeche Mode.
I think it's either Hazel O'Connor or Kim Wilde
Honeyroar · 26/12/2020 23:01

It is one of them Christmaself. (she says helpfully!)

AJumpedUpChristmasElf · 26/12/2020 23:07

Thanks for the help @Honeyroar

I shall go for Hazel wild guess

Honeyroar · 26/12/2020 23:11

Wrong.

Dance yourself dizzy Is the song - don't know who sang it

AJumpedUpChristmasElf · 26/12/2020 23:16

@Honeyroar

Wrong.
Did I say Hazel - I meant to type Kim Grin
