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

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Well done both, that was quick!

But some were quicker than others, coffee, and only one person got those precious points

(Although flea doesn't care about the points anyway)

Absolutely not, needtoknow, are you insane???

Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won
Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
You know in some way you're a lot like me
80s

St Elmo's fire

Correct 👍😊

You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know
80s

The way you sigh, has me waving my conscience bye-bye
You can call me a fickle thing
But I'm practically yours forever, because
Originally 60s but covered 80s

You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know

Billy Joel - Tell her about it

I had my fun, I played around
Without a love to tie me down

Seventies

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy Correct 👍😊

Coffee - your second one is Move over Darling . It was originally in an old film, possibly Doris Day. I'm trying to think who did it in the 1980s. Cyndi Lauper?

Was it Tracey Ullman?

Yes Honey I think it was. I didn't think Cyndi Lauper was right when I said it.

Correct to Move over darling, Doris Day & Tracey Ullman 👍😊

You’ve got style that’s what all the girls say
Satin sheets and luxuries so fine
All your suits are custom made in London
But I’ve got something that you’ll really like
(80s)

Morning

That's Madonna Dress you up

I posted this a little while back and not guessed, some different lyrics as someone definitely knows it!

I'm leaning on this bar
Listening to you sing
And your sad song rings in my ears
And I start to cry

He's searching
She's showing

80s

I was only seventeen when she looked at me that way
Seems like yesterday
I was only foolin' 'round but she stole my heart away
I've never been the same
80s

Use the phone, call your mom
She's missing you badly, missing her son
Who do you know, where will you stay
Big city life is not what they say
80s

This is love changes everything . Sounds a bit Rod Stewart-ish
Climie Fisher ?

It's soft cell. Was it called Spark?

Not Spark, Torch!

@CoffeeBeansGalore. The call your mum is Fine Young cannibals - Johnny come home.

Correct Shiny for Madonna.

Correct to Climie Fisher & Fine Young Cannibals

80s

Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends

Ooh I don't remember who that's by, but I always liked its description - I would add "everyone needs high speed wifi" just now though
