@MNerGoneRogue

Outstanding from previous thread

You're such a natural, sing
That's what you are

Late 80s

Surprised no one got this. Not my mind of thing (far too drippy for me) but quite big at the time
Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 19:53

This one’s for Coffee..

And when the money comes in
For the work I do
I’ll pass almost every penny onto you.

Can I vote for H from steps as the cutest pet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah, I do amuse myself.

Actually, it's galling, because I do, in fact, own the cutest pet, but dare not post a pic of her

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 19:59

Correct for the Proclaimers and Ladies Night!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/01/2021 20:00

This one was Britney Spears

Superstar, where you from? How's it going?
I know you got a clue what you're doing
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here
But I know what you are, what you are, baby

Look at you gettin' more than just a re-up
Baby, you got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin' like a good one but I call 'em like I see 'em
I know what you are, what you are, baby

BTW, coffee. That date and time (in fact ANY date and time atm) are fine for me

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 20:01

Is your cute pet that you can’t share a hostage you enslaved years ago? Probably one of the others from Steps!🤣. You and Babooshka could make them sing at the after party.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/01/2021 20:06

Rogue 👍 Get your outfit sorted 😁

@FlouncingBabooshka

Out of the blue, I remembered this song:

so tell your angry friends
To throw away their Gaultier and grow their hair again

Late 80s

The second summer of love 💕
Don't know the artist

MNerGoneRogue · 25/01/2021 20:10

Ugh! I wouldn't give anyone from steps house room.
In fact, they'd never "steps" over my threshold arf!

No, several of my RL friends are on mn, and I wouldn't want to out myself if they came across this thread.
Luckily, they're all shit at lyrics, except one who is brilliant. Much better than me. But she's working flat out so wouldn't have time atm

MNerGoneRogue · 25/01/2021 20:12

The only thing I fit atm is a tent, coffee ⛺
My outfit for awards night ⬆️⬆️⬆️😔

NeedToKnow101 · 25/01/2021 20:16

Can I enter my friend's cute dog? (Fnaar fnaar - Sorry)

NeedToKnow101 · 25/01/2021 20:17

'Hmm...whatever can it be?

Alanis Morrisett, Ironic '

Sorry, Flouncer, a low and obvious blow.,

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/01/2021 20:18

I don't wear pyjamas 🍃
Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 20:25

Yes a pyjama party! Bring it on! Elasticated waists all round!

I think I might actually have run out of Baileys by Saturday.

MNerGoneRogue · 25/01/2021 20:25

Babooshka will go nuts. She's a girl who likes a frock!

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 20:26

Oh god, someone throw the big pants down from wobbling heights. (who is at the top nowadays?)
