Here is the perfect song to describe NYE 2020

No idea if anyone knows it, possibly if you have older teenage or 20s DC. It's DS's staying in song .

I'm fresh to death, I'm in the zone
I checked my head, but no ones home
The mood is right , the party's on
Looks like tonight I'll be drinking alone

✅ shiny correct that is Roy Orbison.

Things may be a little hard now
But we'll find a brighter day

Ordered delivery takeaway at half-7, I just went to pick it up after almost two-and-a-half hours of bullshit from their franchised delivery company. I have lyrics to drink and beer to guess ffs!

DD, 21, well off her face says hi and it's Hollywood Undead - Party by Myself "or summat". You can keep the point, I'll let you. If she's wrong I'm hereby confiscating her alcohol!
shinynewapple2020 · 31/12/2020 22:36

Yes!!! @WhipperSnapperSteve

Well done to your DD! I didn't actually think anyone would get it. (Although @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf may be on in a minute to tell us off about family members helping out!)

Yazz, the only way is up ☺️
Honeyroar · 31/12/2020 22:41

Oh yea, I couldn’t quite put my ear on it!

There are only two of my group to get and I think one of them was already posted this week when shelf elf posted their entire record collection.

WhipperSnapperSteve · 31/12/2020 22:41

Cheese-time...

"I know you're gone, you said you're gone
But I can still feel you here
It's not the end
Gotta keep it strong
Before the pain turns into fear "

90s

Can you repost the missings please?
Honeyroar · 31/12/2020 22:43

Ooh I think that’s the Spice girls. Goodbye

Honeyroar · 31/12/2020 22:45

It’s number 7 & 8 from page 2. Don’t know how to quote a post?

WhipperSnapperSteve · 31/12/2020 22:46

Too easy clearly for you, Honey.

Honeyroar · 31/12/2020 22:48

I’ve got the “No, no, no no” bit in my head!

WhipperSnapperSteve · 31/12/2020 22:48

8's Billy Idol's Dancing With Myself? (Fab video)

I'm sure 7's a Nirvana song, just not sure which one!

Iggi999 · 31/12/2020 22:51

Indeed Fleamaker.Smile

Winter's gone, I'm on my own

another one -
So let's sink another drink cause it'll give me time to think

both somewhat inspired by the evening!

Iggi999 · 31/12/2020 22:52

Honeyroar · 31/12/2020 22:54

I know your other one, grrr, this is gonna bug me.

Iggi999 · 31/12/2020 22:59

Other one came to mind from another thread on here tonight, about an 80s heartthrob...

WhipperSnapperSteve · 31/12/2020 23:00

"Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door"

Late-90s.

WhipperSnapperSteve · 31/12/2020 23:02

Another line, perchance? Or are you enjoying my bafflement too much? Grin
Honeyroar · 31/12/2020 23:15

Before you take my heart reconsider = Texas - Summer sun (love it!)

Iggi999 · 31/12/2020 23:16

Where joy should reign
These skies restrain
Shadows your love
The voice trails off again

(Most of the rest of it includes the title!)

WhipperSnapperSteve · 31/12/2020 23:49

Oh that's A-ha - Stay On These Roads !

Yup, again, Honey
