I’ve just you tuned a few Skunk anasie tracks to remind me who they are and I do like them!

Fleamaker123 · 29/12/2020 21:47

Apologies! I must admit I should do the same, I don't think I've ever properly listened to them 😳

Honeyroar · 29/12/2020 21:53

You’ll know them - look up Weak as I am and Hedonism, they were chart hits.

Interested in this thread?

👍 Will have a listen 😊

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

So many outstanding ones! I'm not getting any of those reposted.

Sorry about overly bombarding you with lyrics yesterday. I had the idea and git a bit carried away.
I will go back and consolidate everything, but not today as I'm everso tired. 🥱😴

It was quite hard to keep up ElfShelf... it's was like having 100s if copies of Smash Hits raining down on our heads. ❤️
Fleamaker123 · 29/12/2020 22:07

Just had a listen, yes I remember Weak as I am 👍

NeedToKnow101 · 29/12/2020 22:38

Ooh i've got a theme coming on. I can feel it in my Baileys waters..

NeedToKnow101 · 29/12/2020 22:48

All 80s, there is a theme...

I wanna love you, wanna hug you, wanna squeeze you too

....
I feel the pain from the push and shove
No matter what you put me through

....
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
Dj spinnin' I said, "My My"
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
François c'est pas, Flash ain't no dude
80s

....
Jump, jump a little higher
Jump, jump until you get tired

Well it's a loose theme. More a link.

Honeyroar · 29/12/2020 22:51

The second to last one is Blondie’s Rapture.

Honeyroar · 29/12/2020 22:53

The top one is Chaka Khan’s I feel for you.

Is the theme that they’re rapped bits of the song perhaps?

Fleamaker123 · 29/12/2020 22:54

Is this Chaka Khan, Feel for you?

Fleamaker123 · 29/12/2020 22:55

I wanna love you, wanna hug you, wanna squeeze you too

Sorry! This one

Honeyroar · 29/12/2020 22:55

Push and shove one is Human League’s Love Action.

No idea what the Jump one is though.

Correct Honey to Blondie, Chaka Khan and the theme! Many, many points to you..

Correct Flea, but pipped. Wink

Correct Honey. Grin
Honeyroar · 29/12/2020 23:27

Good theme @NeedToKnow101
Hope someone else guesses the other one. Me rapping it in my head isn’t achieving much!

NeedToKnow101 · 29/12/2020 23:42

@Honeyroar

Good theme *@NeedToKnow101* Hope someone else guesses the other one. Me rapping it in my head isn’t achieving much!
It's a house tune. Think that's a bit of a no-go area on these threads Grin

Procedures tomorrow, told an hour ago I'm not being knocked out and will just be having "conscious sedation", I'm so anxious and scared, even thinking of cancelling Sad

midgeghost · 30/12/2020 20:43

Chin up @WhipperSnapperSteve just think of the story you can tell us when you are back

Alternatively I could threaten to do an interesting theme again if you don't get yourself sorted?

Doubt you will get any extra points out of the elf though no matter how traumatic

perditaplum · 30/12/2020 20:44

I had conscious sedation for a procedure once. The worst thing about it was when I was waking up and told the anaesthetist that he did a good job of the seduction Blush I didn't remember or feel a thing.

Honeyroar · 30/12/2020 21:08

You can do it Steve. You have to remember that everything they do is to help you so try to relax and go with it.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 30/12/2020 21:13

@WhipperSnapperSteve Don't cancel. It won't be as bad as you think. Worrying just builds it up and up. I had to have an MRI last year. I was scared as I get really claustrophobic, and I hate needles. But in the end it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
A few years back I lost a fingertip & had to have the bone nibbed down so the flesh could grow back over it. I was told I was going to be awake but told them I was really nervous (I was shaking so much, it was awful). They gave me a relaxing sedative & I was fine. They talked to me the whole time.
Ultimately these procedures are to help you. Admit you are nervous when you get there. They deal with this every day. Let them take care of you.
We will all be thinking of you.

Yes sometimes if you tell them you’re nervous they load the sedative and you’re virtually asleep anyway. One time my arm dislocated and in A&E I was going on and on about dreading them pulling it around, and the next minute they’d done it and I’d somehow missed it (because of the gas they gave me!)

NeedToKnow101 · 30/12/2020 21:18

@WhipperSnapperSteve - it's natural to worry, but please don't cancel. It's for your health. We will all be thinking of you ❤️. In fact, if you're conscious, maybe you can play with us as it's being done?! Only joking, to try and cheer you up xx
