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

@midgebabe

See what you mean shiny, and you are right, you are wrong

😂😂 😂

@shinynewapple2021

Another one on this 'theme'

Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Some of us won't survive
See the boys and me mean business
Busting out dead or alive

70s

Jailbreak Thin Lizzy - was going to post that but didn't want to encourage her.

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@NeedToKnow101 Glad you are ok! Sending over soft bendy straws & home baking xx[/quote]
Thank you @CoffeeBeansGalore - that means a lot ❤️

I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I'd come there for
70s

One lazy afternoon down Savannah way,
They robbed a store, and high-tailed outa that town
Got clean away in a stolen car,
And waited till the heat died down,
60s

Devil woman cliff richard always hated that song , having green eyes

Correct midge. I love green eyes! Both dh & dd1 have green eyes 😊. I thought in the song it related to the cat, rather than the woman?

Coffee and NeedToKnow101 yours is Talking heads, Psycho Killer, one of my favourites ❤️

Correct Flea 👍😊

Morning all. Relieved to see Mumsnet hasn’t been taken down completely as a result of the ongoing police investigation.

Hope you’re not too bruised @NeedToKnow101.

You and @CoffeeBeansGalore both posted psycho killer by Talking Heads.

But you knew that anyway because @Fleamaker123 got it ages ago . Obviously not reading straight due to the permanent inebriation...

@FlouncingBabooshka 😁 A lazy (sober) Saturday morning has that effect on me so I'm sure you are the same 😊

A few more based loosely on the shameful events of last night...

70s
I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had

70s
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha Ha woman it's a crying shame

80s
Ooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby

70s
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

70s
I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had

I fought the law
The Clash

Killer Queen
Queen

Yeah i picked the right time to look on the thread for a change.😄

@FlouncingBabooshka your ooh baby baby one might be Salt and pepper, Push it.

Your 70s one is Killer Queen by Queen.

Oops pipped to Queen!

Oh! The haha woman one is ELO Evil woman.😄

I never knew psycho killer had a french verse. I was thinking it was Blondie or ELO!🤣

Another one themed for last night

Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I’ve stayed away too long this time
And I’ve got too big to fit this time.
(80s)

I’m the living result
A man who’s been hurt a little too much
And I’ve tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel
(80s?)

Ps
Correct to the Shelf elf for Free Falling and Murder on the dance floor.✅✅

Correct Willow and Honeyroar 👏👏

Wonder where Shelfie is this afternoon. Do you think she may have had her internet privileges withdrawn? Discovery of contraband maybe? Or perhaps she’s been brawling with another inmate. 🤔🤔🤔

Perhaps MNHQ have banned her for crashing the site yesterday

She'll be back with a new user name .

screams silently in impotent rage at how many gorgeous lyrics I've missed

Evenin' all.

Sssshhhhh down here. I'm keeping my head down a bit!

Are there any lyrics outstanding?

Mnhq have given me some bubble wrap to keep you all safe. If you could just wrap it around yourselves that'd be grand. Pantry's roll is the one that's got the special gold stars on it.

Opps, sorry you two. As you were
