It's seems a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
'Cause I'm the one who's strong

Oh! Yes the song from city of angels = Goo goo dolls - Iris

Dexter I’m sure you’ll get the nipple story sometime. Then you’ll know what I mean..

CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/01/2021 16:22

Yes again Carnage! You are on a roll 👍😊

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Dexter, it was used in a film with Nicholas Cage & Meg Ryan. He's an angel & she's a hospital doctor. (said this to my DD and she has just got it so I am not going to claim as it was her, not me).
You're on the right lines!

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating And I'm wondering what you're dreaming 90s

Aerosmith
Don't wanna miss a thing

Coincidentally this is a song reminds me of DS as a baby

shinynewapple2021 · 31/01/2021 17:05

[quote NeedToKnow101]@MNerGoneRogueAgain ... I'll take a wild guess that the one for me was Hot Chocolate, Everyones' a winner?

Just having tea and a crumpet actually.[/quote]
I think the Hot Chocolate song dedicated to Need was

So you win again

Everyone's a winner also posted but dedicated to us all .

CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/01/2021 17:08

Correct Shiny 👍😊

Honeyroar · 31/01/2021 17:57

Couldn’t have got the Iris one without Coffee and her daughter.

FlouncingBabooshka · 31/01/2021 19:00

Just popping by. So far behind already so only really skimmed the thread but I spotted Wuthering Heights Rogue.

Hello again Dexter - good to see you back and making an early bid for the next fastest finger award.

❤️ and 🍰 and ☕️ for Carnage. Hope it all gets sorted out quickly for you.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 31/01/2021 19:01

Ok, so from my fest this morning, these have all been got (and I have' highlighted the word in the title that references the award):

Anyone can guess, but Coffee, this one’s for you

Umm, it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby

80s
Tina Turner, SIMPLY THE BEST guessed by Honey

And these two are for everyone on this thread:

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear

80s
Abba, the WINNER takes it all guessed by dexter

Never could explain just what was happening to me,
Just one touch of you and I'm a flame.

70s
Hot Chocolate, Everyone’s a WINNER guessed by shiny (with Needtoknow coming in literally 1 minute later. Pipped again Needtoknow!)

For Honey, Flea and Coffee

You know it's gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

60s
The Beach Boys, Wouldn’t it be NICE guessed by midge

For NeedtoKnow and shiny

Your house was very small
With woodchip on the wall

90s
Pulp, DISCO 2000 guessed by Honey and Needtoknow according to my machine, one posted at 12:38:52 and the other at 12:38:53, so incredibly close (and I only posted at at 12:38:26, so incredibly quick for both of them). However, they are obviously sharing the same incorrect search engine, as they BOTH called it Year 2000. Very Suspicious, gone for a steward’s enquiry. All points for both on them on hold pending the outcome of that enquiry but it does NOT look good.

For NeedtoKnow, shiny and me

Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be

70s
The Commodores, EASY guessed by shiny (who also got the theme that it was linked to the awards lasts night)

For Midge and FloucingB

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok

60s
The Beatles, A HARD Day’s Night guessed by midge

For Honey

You're a slave to fashion
And your life is full of passion
It's the way you are

80s
Bros, When Will I Be FAMOUS? Guessed by Honey

For Carnage
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

70s
America, A Horse With No NAME guessed by Carnage

For Steve and NeedtoKnow

Memories, good days, bad days
They'll be with me always
In these old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there's only emptiness

70s
Abba, KNOWing Me, KNOWing You guessed by shiny

For Honey, Shiny, Flea AND COFFEE, even though Coffee didn’t include herself in this one

You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables

80s
West End Girls, PET Shop Boys guessed by Honey

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 31/01/2021 19:03

So these are still outstanding:

For Flea, NeedtoKnow and me

Look inside your hearts
and make a stand
don't be sad
hand in hand we'll try to understand
now's the time...people
one world united

90s

For FlouncingB

It’s me

70s

For NeedtoKnow

You planted seeds of love in my heart
With all the tender words you said at the start
But love is something you shouldn't begin
If you're not gonna see it through to the end

70s

This one’s a bit tenuous, but it’ll do. For me and FlouncingB

For Honey, Midge and… um…. Me
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide

80s

More lyrics needed? I know FlouncingB only got two words, but if she can't get it from that, I'm taking the award it references off her!!!

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 31/01/2021 19:03

sorry, this one slipped through

Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend wife of a close friend and

70s
Carly Simon, You’re so Vain guessed by dexter

Fleamaker123 · 31/01/2021 19:20

Evening, trying to catch up!
Been working my way through the playlist Rogue 👍 don't recognise your lyrics though 🤔

Hope you're better soon Carnage 😘

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 31/01/2021 19:25

Hope you've been enjoying it, flea.

Sorry I missed your post, FlouncingB. Yes, wuthering heights. Well done

CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/01/2021 19:27

Can I guess FB's?

OP posts:
Fleamaker123 · 31/01/2021 19:30

MNerGoneRogue did you put something on YouTube? I missed some of last night so I could be getting mixed up!

NeedToKnow101 · 31/01/2021 19:30

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

I have to take issue with your allegation: "Pulp, DISCO 2000 guessed by Honey and Needtoknow according to my machine, one posted at 12:38:52 and the other at 12:38:53, so incredibly close (and I only posted at at 12:38:26, so incredibly quick for both of them). However, they are obviously sharing the same incorrect search engine, as they BOTH called it Year 2000. Very Suspicious, gone for a steward’s enquiry. All points for both on them on hold pending the outcome of that enquiry but it does NOT look good."

Obviously we both knew the song.. and it clearly just popped into both of our lovely heads as a word association. There is no search engine of incorrect song titles.. I'm feeling a little litigious tonight....

NeedToKnow101 · 31/01/2021 19:33

Apart from that @MNerGoneRogueAgain - thank you for all your lovely songs in all of our honour. ❤️❤️

FlouncingBabooshka · 31/01/2021 19:46

There’s still an outstanding one from my ‘us’ theme.

So, we had

V(Rogue)
Black Coffee in Bed
Honey
Midgedude Looks Like a Lady
CarnageatthePancakeBicycleRace
ShinyNewApple2020People
JumpedUpPantryLet’s Hear It for the Boy
WhipIterSnapperSteve

The outstanding one is (with loads more lyrics - I’m not sure anyone knows/remembers this song)

2007
Xxxxxx
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for
Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are
Sweetheart, bitter heart now I can tell you apart
Cozy and cold, put the horse before the cart
Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up to one little lie
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are

Very surprised if no one knows this 🤔

shinynewapple2021 · 31/01/2021 20:11

Does the song go 1,2, 3, 4 at the beginning ?

That would fit with fleamaker123

shinynewapple2021 · 31/01/2021 20:21

And after trying to think of songs with 123 in which FB had used yesterday I ended up with this song as an ear worm for hours

My my sun is pie
There's fodder for the canons
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely
All sleep safely

80s
