And when I went to the girl, come on and teach me to sway
She laughed and whispered to me, yes come tonight to the bay
80s

I don't want him
Couldn't stand him
He was no good so I (hahahaha)
90s

AM, FM, all that jazz
We'd rather sing along with Yazz
What happened to the radio?
They never play the songs we know

The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried, We've got to hang on, boys!
We've got to hold this piece of ground
I need a volunteer to ride up
And bring us back some extra men
70s

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 01:15

Do you play with the girls, play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys?
We can talk, we can sing
I'll be the queen and you'll be the king
Hey boy in your tree
Throw down your ladder make a room for me
I've got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine, you show me yours
90s

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 01:16

Course you are, don't question me. I'm a Superstar
Par excellance, heavy on style I'm your main man,
80s

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 01:17

A love we always share
At party time and Christmas too
We know that she'll be there
80s, I think, but it must've been very early 80s. Has a very 70s vibe to me

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 01:17

Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again
Hit the town, fool around, let's go party
90s

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 01:17

His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun
90s

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 01:18

The theme, as I say, is quite loose.

WhipperSnapperSteve · 27/12/2020 01:42

"Downtown's been caught by the hysteria
People scream and shout
A generation's on the move
When disco spreads like a bacteria
Those lonely days are out
Welcome the passion of the groove"

90s...just

Heard it on the radio earlier, brought back some memories! (Was originally released in 70s, I'm looking specifically for the 90s version).

Morning.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me...Embarrassed to say that out if your huge flurry of lyrics @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf, the only one that jumps out at me is Billy Don’t be a Hero by Paperlace Blush

I don’t think anyone got my special Christmas lyric from a couple of days ago. It’s from 2009 - I know, I know , but it’s Christmas and it’s just a bit of fun.

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen

It’s not the best known Christmas song but the singer is very famous. Solo male.

Morning! ShelfElf your first theme is Duran Duran. That was very difficult so I'll award myself extra puntos, thank you very much.. 😘

Eyes Perdita pointedly in particular
And other words beginning with p

Peers pensively past pretty points, pretends perhaps. Promises plenty proper presentation promptly 🙂

WT - ACTUAL - F??? Firstly, as I said, the theme is very specific. You HAVEN'T named it, so I'm taking back those points you somewhat brazenly awarded yourself and some extra for your cheek. As I suspected, well have to wait for honey to emerge from her drunken stupor before the theme is CORRECTLY guessed.

Secondly, who the fuck are you and what have you done with needtoknow? Last night I just thought you were on the sauce (and the whole "I've just spotted a full glass of baileys" confirmed that). So either you're still pie-eyed this morning? OR you're drunk already (have you been linking up the baileys as suggested on the thread yesterday?), or - and I think this is the logical, reasonable and likely of situations - you've been abducted and replaced by an alien.
Is this what has happened? Does Mr needtoknow know? Cos I think he needs to know. And what about the mini needtoknows? They need to know too.
MNHQ need to know about our needtoknow. And possibly the army.
And all of us. Expecially all of us. We needtoknow what has happened to our meek and mild needtoknow!

Ooh.

Pushy perdita peaks prematurely.
Penalised.
Punished preemptively.
Perhaps persuades prudence

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 10:38

Correct fea and xsquared x 2. Wrong for the third.

Care to guess the loose theme?
