It was Erasure and Oh L’amour.

Bog off back Rebel, you didn’t guess the song even though you got the group (after guessing various other groups desperately first). I don’t care but I will share!

I am NOT sharing my points with you honey. In fact I'm taking half of your point for the song title, cos you wouldn't have got it without me
MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 20:12

"Rebel" homey's auto correct removes the half point honey still has

Cool is subjective and there is no rule we only have to post songs that others think are cool Grin

shinynewapple2021 · 23/01/2021 20:17

Some more lyrics to my song above then

How could you settle for a boy like me
When all I could see was the end of the week ?

Honeyroar · 23/01/2021 20:23

@shinynewapple2021 that’s All that she wants by Wham.

Honeyroar · 23/01/2021 20:26

💔 couldn’t find a shared point picture, only this @rebel.
🆒 who knew there was a cool button on my phone!

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 20:29

Is your heart really broken, honey? melts

Hmmmm. At a time where we're all weighed down by rules, I'm tempted to rip up the rule book for this thread (within talk guidelines, of course)
shinynewapple2021 · 23/01/2021 20:40

Yes @Honeyroar
Everything she wants

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/01/2021 20:43

Is this the age of the thunder and rage
Can you feel the ground move 'round your feet?
If you take one step closer, it'll lead to another
The crossroad above is where we meet

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 20:53

Ha ha. I thought it was one step closer 🤣

in a moment of weakness, donates 20 points to the roaring honey monster

Move it up and groove it down
