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

I think it's safe to say, if there is a cool ladder, I don't even make it to the bottom rung!

Morning peeps.

The last couple of days have been fun! I'll try and think up some more lyrics later x

I definitely wouldn’t make a cool ladder. I’d be the one hanging off the side pretending to belong with the cool dudes.

I doubt I'd even be in the same room as the ladder!

This is hard on me, I don't want to leave
But in the meantime, take back your keys

1980s

Well I can tell you all that being at the top of the cool ladder isn't all it's 'cracked' up to be... especially in my knickerless state.

They do it down on Camber Sands
They do it at Waikiki
Lazing about the beach all day,
At night the crickets creepy
70s

Tongue-tied or short of breath, don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, you're not naive, you must must be strong
Ooh, baby, try
80s

Kagagoogoo too shy

@midgeghost

Kagagoogoo too shy

Correct 🙌🏼

I'm lost again
And I'm on the run
Looking for love
In a sad song
80s

That's Squeeze, Pulling mussels from a shell

No chance on the cool ladder for me either, I'd be holding the coats.

Is this Christopher Cross, Ride like the wind??

No it's not that Fleamaker

Correct Flea 🙌🏼
Looks like all alone on the cool ladder 😎😢

This is what I thought Shiny’s was for a moment!

I’m on the run
But I ain’t got no gun
See they wanna be the star
So they fighting tribal war
(90s)

Do you want some pants thrown up at you @NeedToKnow101?

@Honeyroar

Do you want some pants thrown up at you *@NeedToKnow101*?

😂😂 yes please Honey!! Big ones please, thermal from the Damart catalogue if I've got a choice!

We should from a human chain of coolness!
I'm last.

Hands warm ginormous pants to......?

I've got the mutha of a theme for you all. On a family zoom thing atm (and in hell!) But l8r...

Ok. Here's the theme. Like I did the other night, the theme is very, very specific.

Bunch of lyrics. Guess the lyrics, guess the singer/band/and the theme.

Good luck x

Where's a warrior
Without his pride?

You cut off his head, legs come looking for you

But deep inside Geronimo is tearing me apart
I've seen him in the streets
And I've seen him in the pictures

80s

The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage

Beat on black, beat on white
Beat on everything don't get it right
Beat on you, beat on me, beat on love

80s

And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill

I'm not a present for your friends to open

My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair

70s

Electric word, life It means forever
And that's a mighty long time

Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)

I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion
I don't care if we spend the night on the town
All I want is to spend the night together

80s

I said pretend you've got no money

You were the first girl at school to get breasts

At four o'clock the normal world seems very, very, very far away

90s

Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen
I don't know when

It breaks the cage, and fear escapes and takes possession
Just like a crowd rioting inside
(Make me do this, make me do that, make me do this, make me do that)
Am I the cat that takes the bird
To her the hunted, not the hunter?

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

80s
