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

Oh dear. This isn't going to end well.

Correct to Love of the common people 👍😊

Play the game, fight the fight
But what's the point on a beautiful night?
80s

Googled?
I got murdered for admitting DH got one of the answers

When did you turn into a ghost Midge?

It was only a matter of time

Black and blue, hypothermia, the wrath of the elf, it's all taken it's toll
I finally succumbed to starvation trying to catch up with what I had missed

Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf

1981

Ghost town by the Specials 👻

It is, and I suspect you would have got it with any of the other lyrics too - I had to choose carefully.

Paul McCartney, Frog Chorus Always reminds me of Christmas for some reason

Didn’t the frogs in the video have Santa hats on?

Yes Coffee Beans, In the Summertime, Mungo Gerry, and yes to all yours ElfShelf (part from the ones you got pipped to 😉)

@perditaplum

Love of the common people - 1967, The Four Preps (ok, so I googled to see who sang the original)

You GOOGLED??????????

If you had any points on the spreadsheet, they would all be wiped for that. As it happens, you're not on the spreadsheet yet (due to an unfortunate mishap, all my points got wiped, and I can't be last with an awards night coming up).
You're new, you're inexperienced. Naive. I'm booting you off the coolness ladder (which might be a relief considering the view).

You started so promisingly, perdita. But shakes head you have disappointed

We don't Google unless it's to check putting lyrics up. Nor do we ask our spouces, children, wider family, bits on the side, Bertha at no 32.
Caprice?

Didn't I get it before coffee????

Capisce. I wrote Capisce

Although given certain PMs people DO discuss with their OPs

What's the NC midge? Late entry to the Christmas name???

HE DIDN'T TELL ME!!!!! Hence the pm.

And your theme was bloody impossible

Us ghosts have eternity to think of interesting themes

You started so promisingly, perdita. But shakes head you have disappointed

Story of my life

I'll ask Caprice next time instead.

Interesting is fine. Bloody impossible not so much

Clearly wasn't impossible since your dh got it
