Have you abandoned DD Rogue?

midgedude · 30/01/2021 21:56

now, what name should you have given your child if you wanted them to be a musician in the 80's?

some clues
Do you like good music?
Do you like to dance?

And I want you really but the thing
Is there's nothing I can say
To stop you
Darling from running
Running away

You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision but I'm not below

She took off her hat
And she had lovely hair
Said she smoked marijuana
At the Coco Cabana there

So we take each other's hand
Cause we seem to understand the urgency

midgedude · 30/01/2021 21:57

No I have sampled. beginning, middle and end

I got quite blurry eyed it has to be said

Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 21:57

Last one is Tiffany
One before it is Bill Wyman Je Suis...

MNerGoneRogue · 30/01/2021 21:57

The last one is from dirty dancing. Baby/frances.

And is the penultimate one lola?

Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 21:58

I’m quite blurry eyed too, and that’s not a lyric!

Fleamaker123 · 30/01/2021 21:58

Oh yeah I forgot that mobile phones are .. umm... mobile..

midgedude · 30/01/2021 22:00

a couple of the outstanding unguessed lyrics

One from one of the most popular bands going

know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire the way they should
The way the blue could pull me in

stars to fill my dreams
i'm a traveller in time and space
to where I have been

This was by far the hardest round to concoct as it can be hours // threads after that someone has a lightbulb moment. Makes tracking hard.

shinynewapple2021 · 30/01/2021 22:00

👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆 Honeyroar, midge and Rogue

Absolutely right. Thank you coffee.

And it's a travesty that needs redressing going forward. I've written to my mp

midgedude · 30/01/2021 22:02

and finally a totally gratuitous round. Songs what I like.

To make it easier the first set of lyrics contain a clue to the title of the second track

Hey you hey you where did you come from?
From supermarket corridor?

I heard the people who live on the ceiling
Scream and fight, most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feelin'
That's how it's been, all around me
