Sorry for my typos. My phone had a software update the other night and since then the autocorrects it is making are INSANE.
Spotted should have been spilled
Linking should have been licking
Grrr

Morning all

I have one glass of wine and chaos ensues! Who posted something naughty? Did we have a troll?

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
Two little boys, Rolf Harris

Aww my little elf split the songs up 🥰😘🌟
The missing Duran one was Last Chance on the Stairway. Haven’t heard that for decades! 🥰😘🌟. They’re all off the Rio album? Is that the theme?🤷🏽‍♀️

I saw the Georgia post that is under investigation last night, but it was only a full stop and I was too busy worrying about Kim Wilde and spilled Baileys to pay it much attention, but thought it was a strange guess! Ooh did we have a naughty person visit our thread!

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 11:15

Is the other theme that they’re absolutely crap songs??

shinynewapple2020 · 27/12/2020 11:22

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

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

There's no one quite like grandma !! St winifred's school choir

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 11:22

It IS honey. Correct. I knew you'd get it glares at needtoknow I'll award you all the points that needtoknow erroneously awarded herself and chuck in an extra few for good measure.

I don't know why I'm so nice to you.

Stockholm syndrome?

Correct with second theme too. They're all utterly atrocious songs!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 11:23

Correct shiny

midgebabe · 27/12/2020 11:24

Oh no, I got that theme but didn't want to say in case they were actually someone's favourites!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 11:27

You snooze you lose, midge!

shinynewapple2020 · 27/12/2020 11:30

A couple more songs with the same vibe

Everybody summertime love
You'll remember me
Everybody summertime love
Be my lover, be my baby
80s

shinynewapple2020 · 27/12/2020 11:31

Wave your hands
Hitch a ride
Sneeze
Go for a walk

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 11:33

The first one is Boys Boys Boys by some big boobed lady beginning with S.. The other one is Superman - Black Lace.

xsquared · 27/12/2020 11:34

Boys, boys, boys - Sabrina Salerno @shinynewapple2020

shinynewapple2020 · 27/12/2020 11:38

Correct @Honeyroar and @xsquared

I really couldn't dislike these kind of songs as they remind me of holidays and parties Smile

(Prepares to get thrown off the thread )

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 11:43

No I know what you mean!

Xsquared is rather quick at guessing the crap songs too...😄

xsquared · 27/12/2020 11:50

Too quick! They were the summer songs of my youth.

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 11:52

Another one for you...

Hey I can wait
But I beg you boy don’t lose this number
(80s)

xsquared · 27/12/2020 11:55

Is it
Call me - Spagna?

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 11:56

Yes!
(I think she was actually the big breasted singer beginning with S!! Didn’t she flash her boobs getting out of a pool in the video!)
