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

The overtime one is Hall and Oates - Can’t go for that (always wondered what that was!)

Oh he sang, What about us?. I'm not even drunk !

No Kirsty McColl is pokes away from MJ! This song was a cover though, I think.

Poles not pokes! 🤣🤣

[quote Honeyroar]@NeedToKnow101 Shiny’s already got the title, there’s just the singer missing..[/quote]
Is it Tracy Ulman?

Correct Honey.. now if we analyse some other lines it suggests he is up for sex and fun, but scared or reluctant to fall in love. 'You've got the body Now you want my soul Don't even think about it Say no go'

🎵he would swear by his mouth almighty🎵
Wet wet wet - Wishing I was lucky.[/quote]

Yes @Honeyroar 🙂

That's the name he used to give me
He's my man 'til the day I die.
80s

Right, I’ve googled the original and it was Kirsty McColl in 1979. So I’ll award the points to Shiny, but I was after the 80s cover, which was Tracey Ullman.

Fair enough Honey - I was more sure that it was Kirsty McColl than I was about the title!!

@Honeyroar

Like a desert sun that burns my skin I’ve been waiting for her for so long (80s)

The cult. Here comes the rain ☔

@Honeyroar

If our love song could fly over mountains Sail over heartaches Just like the film (80s)

Absolute beginners. David Bowie

Wanna join in a chorus, of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh city
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa papa-san take me home
See me got photo, photo, photograph of you
80s

@NeedToKnow101

I can't guess any of them so I'll put up my own ..

Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop
Where do you dare me
To draw the line
80s

I can't go for that. Can't remember who sang it

@NeedToKnow101

I can get a train, I don't need no hamburgers No take-away, I want my own game

80s

Bow wow wow. Go wild in the country

I'm your doctor when in need
Want some coke? Have some weed
You know me, I'm your friend
Your main boy, thick and thin
70s

Sorry. Others got i can't go for that. Of course it was hall and oats

Correct to BowWowWow Trophy. But you lose a point for 1. Not knowing who sang I can't go for that, and

1. Not noticing it was already got.

Two points actually. Two poix.

I’d already got Hall and Oates and we’d analysed what it was about. Keep up babes!

@NeedToKnow101

That's the name he used to give me He's my man 'til the day I die. 80s

I know this! Gah!

What is all this freakin' googlin' ????

All points wiped as a precautionary measure

'What's all this googling?!!'

While the cats away, the mice will play!

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

I was just about to give you a clue to the one you 'know' ....

Can we strike a deal?

I hope you find someone to please you
Someone who'll care and never leave you
