Worst song in the history of all songs ever.

Amazed I recognised it. Usually turn it off

(Do we think our FlouncingB has rtft? i was expecting a big flounce once she realised the rest of us were slobbing up in pjs)

I get points wiped for clarifying the rules even though I didn't actually do it ?

Does that mean I don't have to go to the ladder?

@MNerGoneRogue

I just told DH we're having another awards evening. He said "I hope you win something other than most sarcastic bitch"

😂😂 he know you so well. Or should I say LTB?

@MNerGoneRogue

Ner. Copy n paste em.

Really, if needtoknow had any sense of decency or civic responsibility, she should gather them up and bring them over when she's tidying up. Just sayin'

Didn't want to upset spoil my lucrative side hustle you guys, but any unguessed lyrics get boxed up and sent to Spotify. I've made 17 pence since April 2020. Tbh, majority of the unguessed are mine (just too cool and eclectic for you lot).

Morning btw.

NeedToKnow101 · 26/01/2021 08:10

And now they are trying to take my life away
Forever young I cannot stay
Hey!
On every corner I can see them there
They don't know my name, they don't know my kind
They're after you with their promises
(Promises of love) they're after you to sign your life away
(Yeah, yeah)

80s unguessed - rejected by Spotify.

Aztec camera?
No, sorry Midge.
midgebabe · 26/01/2021 08:49

Oh I remember that song: I liked it at the time. I wouldn't have guessed it in a million years though .

I appreciate it's tough, midge, but I do have to be scrupulously fair
MNerGoneRogue · 26/01/2021 16:27

You are welcome onto any of the lower rungs of wobbling heights, but it's not compulsory.

I myself have recognised my lack of coolness prohibits me from swinging from the rungs, but it's up to you

midgebabe · 26/01/2021 16:27

Smirks happily
Mission accomplished

MNerGoneRogue · 26/01/2021 16:31

You've made financial gain off the back of our efforts Shock Shock Shock

Respect.

Bit tacky, don't have think? Anyone decent with moral values would have shared with the fellowship, but each to their own

I could share it, but at approximately 1.5 pence per player, I'm not sure that's its worth it. You can lick the equivalent amount in Bailey's off my chin if you like?

@Honeyroar

I found me a place to live I got it the hard way A permanent address to give I got it for always Nobody can tear me loose They tell me there’s no escape (80s)

This and the last one are songs I loved but had forgotten about.

Thank you @CoffeeBeansGalorecoffee for starting thread number 21!! Sorry, I’m a bit late to the party ..
