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

Thems. Not themselves

@Honeyroar

Wobbling Heights is the name of our ladder.

Brilliant!!!!!

Being cool is overrated. As is being at the top of Wobbling Heights.

And I didn't go near the Beatles songs, (not cool enough. Them, not me).

Morning all

But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made
80s

Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
80s

I wake up every mornin', I stumble out of bed
Stretchin' and yawnin', another day ahead
It seems to last forever and time goes slowly by
Till babe and me's together, then it starts to fly
80s

Morning @CoffeeBeansGalore the first one is Bangles - Manic Monday.

The last one is 9 to 5 - Sheena Easton

Isn't it Dolly Parton ?

Sheena Easton sung the one that went 'my baby takes the morning train , he works from 9 til 5 and then , he takes another home again etc '

Morning everyone ☺️

Man we could have some fun

Coffee, Dire Straits, money for nothing

Sorry, I'm so rude ! Morning everyone !
Just waiting for my meeting to start ...

Correct all, well done 👍😊.

I must confess, the commute this morning from the kitchen to the sofa with a coffee was nice and easy 😁

@shinynewapple2021

Oh no, I've just checked and it was Sheena Easton I was hearing those words with a Dolly accent . My mistake .

Sorry, it was @Fleamaker123 who I thought had got SPLHCB. I think I’m having trouble following the thread at the moment. Ever since @MNerGoneRogue revealed how far up Wobbling Heights I am I’ve been a bit distracted and nervous. I really don’t think it was wise to attempt to get up here in GaGa’s dress... Or in these heels... Or with so much wine having been consumed...

Ooh, speaking of wine, surely the sun must be over the yardarm by now?

Could someone pass me a top-up please?

🍷🍷🍷😘

@FlouncingBabooshka just be careful, although the crash mats are in place now. 🍸

H from Steps is circling round the bottom of Wobbling Heights ready to catch her if required.
I don't know what she's done to him, but he seems very devoted.

Still outstanding from mine:

This 70s song
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

We know it's by Carole King, but we don't know the song or the album it's from.

No one seems to know this 60s song, which we know is from the Let it Bleed album by the Rolling Stones. I've added some more lyrics:

She said, my breasts, they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me
And there will always be a space in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and sympathy

Yeah we all need someone we can dream on
And if you want it baby, you can dream on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on
Yeah and if you want to, you can cream on me

And no takers for this? Two of the songs are absolute classics (I think).
80s. Three songs from the same band from the same album:
This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital
To rock (a rhyme), that's right (on time)

Said you ain't seen, nothin'
Til you're down on the muffin
And there's sure to be a change in ways
Now there's a cheer, leader
That's a real big, pleaser
As far as I can reminisce

Listen party people here's a serious song
It's right not wrong, I should say right on
I gotta tell you somethin' that you all should know
It's not a mystery it's history and here's how it go

Would more lyrics help, or shall I just tell you the answers?

We know this one was sung by Tina Turner in the 80s, but noone's named the album it was from or this song. LOADS of people have covered it.

You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you

More lyrics?

Is it Walk this way - Run DMC?

Those are all my outstanding ones.

I think it's Let's Stay Together.

I think the album is Private Dancer?

Have some lime-infused vodka @FlouncingBabooshka .. it'll hit the spot pretty quick ..

All correct honey and needtoknow.

Honey, so now you know it's run dmc can you get the first sing? I know it's tricky.
