Just got to work out a connection now Honeyroar 🤔

Honeyroar · 07/01/2021 18:59

Two remaining, I think -

All this pain, I can’t stand it
You’re gonna leave,
You’re gonna leave this poor man on his own
Yes you are.
(80s)

If that’s your problem don’t let it show
You will find it so self deceiving love can be so unsure
Keep A level head maintain your pride then you can look love right in the eye
(80s)

And nobody has got the connection yet…

Honeyroar · 07/01/2021 19:07

Here Are a couple more from the same “theme”..

Bboys breakers electric boogaloo
There’s a new headline, there’s a new sensation everybody’s talking about the new situation
(80s)

I know you’re watching me every single minute of the day
I’ve seen the signs and looks and the pictures
They give the game away
(80s)

Every night every day
I’m always thinking of you
In every way
All I know when I’m with you
You make me feel so good
Through and through
(80s)

Rock steady crew??

midgebabe · 07/01/2021 20:39

All in the same issue of smash hits?

Fleamaker123 · 07/01/2021 21:18

Honeyroar, is it connected to a rapper?? Wild guess!

Honeyroar · 07/01/2021 21:24

Yes Flea to Rock Steady Crew ✅

They might have all been in the same issue of Smash Hits, but that’s not it.

Honeyroar · 07/01/2021 21:24

Not connected to a rapper either.

midgebabe · 07/01/2021 21:32

They are all from roughly the same year then....?

shinynewapple2021 · 07/01/2021 21:55

So to summarise there is

Simple minds - waterfront
?
Malcolm McLaren - double Dutch
Men without hats - safety dance
Culture Club - victims
Human League - fascination
Will Powers - kissing with confidence
The cure - love cats
Genesis - that's all
Rock steady crew - (title?)

I've put them in a list to see if they make sense to anybody . I don't think they are the same year.

Fleamaker123 · 07/01/2021 21:58

Honeyroar any possibility of a little clue ☺️

shinynewapple2021 · 07/01/2021 22:00

I think the theme is they are completely random songs from the 1980s

Maybe they were okayed today on Heart 80s?

Honeyroar · 07/01/2021 22:01

Rock steady crew was called (Hey you) Rock Steady Crew.

I can’t think of a clue that won’t give it away🤯

shinynewapple2021 · 07/01/2021 22:03

They were all in the charts this particular week in 1980-something ?

Honeyroar · 07/01/2021 22:04

There are 30 songs in total that I could post for this..

Honeyroar · 07/01/2021 22:05

No I don’t think they were in the chart together.

Duran Duran - is there something I should know ? @Honeyroar
Sorry if somebody else has already guessed it

midgebabe · 07/01/2021 22:11

Hint for honeys theme

1 gave you my heart
Have you my soil

2.but look at our life now
All tattered and torn

3 I said soul boy let's hit the town

4.in the hot traffic
By the red tail lights

  1. Didn't you hear your wicked words every day
You used to be so sweet I heard you say

6 it's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times oh yeah

midgebabe · 07/01/2021 22:13

At least if o have it right! In which case it has been guessed already
