Very good lyric selection, FlouncingB!

There are some i definitely know but can't get, so I'm waiting for others to put me out of my misery (rather than looking them up, eh, needtoknow!)

Thank you so much for my damned song 💋

If you say run
I'll run with you
And if you say hide
We'll hide

The Michael Jackson song is called one day in your life

Honeyroar · 09/01/2021 19:12

Oh yes, I’d forgotten that one. Quite a dreamy tune, I used to think it was a female singing it when I was young!

Yes that's the one i had completely forgotten as well. I used to really like it too.
NeedToKnow101 · 09/01/2021 20:23

A theme!!

80s
It was a cool and lonely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you got no food?)

70
Come on and love me just a little bit
I'm gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me tell you what it's all about
Reading, writing, arithmatic

80s
Take a look at me
Wired to a machine
Never would believe it
This can't be happening

80s
Yes, you're suitably at one
With your body and the sun
Yes, you are
You've read Karl Marx
And you've taught yourself to dance
You're the best by far

60s
All we need is a drummer
For people who only need a beat
I'm gonna add a little guitar
And make it easy to move your feet

70s
They say the day is ending
Let's watch the sun go down
And plan a holiday for two
For all eternity
We will ride a cloud so you can see
The world I created just for you

Which one Needtoknow? Walking in the Moon?

And yes, Shiny, you’re right that one’s Michael Jackson.

Working my way slowly through the thread - DH keeps interrupting me and asking me to google stuff for him - so not sure if anyone has come back with the song yet.

Nothing's wrong @FlouncingBabooshka - just that we work in education... 🤪
NeedToKnow101 · 09/01/2021 20:37

@Honeyroar - correct to Five Star and Bros..
Honeyroar · 09/01/2021 20:38

Is the 70s one ABC? (Jacksons)

NeedToKnow101 · 09/01/2021 20:39

@FlouncingBabooshka - I had completely forgotten One day in your life Michael Jackson.

What does your husband ask you to google btw? My partner is ALWAYS asking me to google things, even when he's on a device..

It is!
Honeyroar · 09/01/2021 20:42

Gosh I’m not seeing a connection- unless it’s groups of siblings? Or fabricated groups of young people?

FlouncingBabooshka · 09/01/2021 20:55

Nothing's wrong @FlouncingBabooshka - just that we work in education... 🤪

My brain had just caught up.🙄🙄🙄 For some reason I read Coffee as Honey so didn’t get the education connection. I think I might be confused by the coffee shop...

NeedToKnow101 · 09/01/2021 21:05

@Honeyroar

Could it be one of those...??? 🧐
midgebabe · 09/01/2021 21:12

I'll lay 10p on siblings

Honeyroar · 09/01/2021 21:13

Yes I’d pick siblings first. But we’ve not got them all yet..
