A guaranteed personality

Hello @SnotLongTilEaster we go off decade with lyrics regularly. I can’t think of your track though.

SnotLongTilEaster · 05/02/2021 20:31

We never know which way the wind will blow
Nor when or where the next turmoil will be
But he's a solid rock when troubles grow
And he holds out a saving hand for me

Here’s an actual 80’s lyric. Think an old dusky voice......

SnotLongTilEaster · 05/02/2021 20:33

My original lyric was Mark Bolan Spaceball Rickochet. But I may have spelt it wrong. But I just love mark bolan. ❤️

I like the 70s, but I'm afraid I don't immediately recognise your lyrics. Could you post a few more?

And, yes, welcome to the thread

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 05/02/2021 20:50

That'll put hairs on your chest, needtoknow

Lockdown may need to continue for a few more cuts before I master it

I’m glad you called her Snot first! (Most names get shortened around here). Although I love the positivity of your long name!

Welcome SnotLongTilEaster ☺️

Ooh Babycham NeedToKnow101, not seen that for years.. Not Jackson Five sorry

NeedToKnow101 · 05/02/2021 21:05

Maybe we should all post songs that remind us of our holidays....

Sitting in a park in Paris France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
70s

Everybody wants you
Everybody wants your love
I'd just like to make you mine, all mine
80s (I thought it was 70s)

Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle
80s

I'll do anything you say boy
'Cause if you ask me, baby
I'll get on my knees and pray boy
90s

Grinand going to add Pacific State by 808 State but its instrumental. 😂

Very quick midge.

I said girl I'm just a vampire for your love
And I'm going to suck you
