@Fleamaker123

MNerGoneRogue did you put something on YouTube? I missed some of last night so I could be getting mixed up!
Yes, flea. I made a playlist from everyone's favourite dance tracks which people sent to me around Christmas time.

I've taken it down now, but you can remake it yourself if you want to. Each song from the playlist is listed on the photos I put up on pg 1 of this thread.
It won't be in the order I did it, but you can pick your own order.

Interested in this thread?

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.... [/quote]
What, the same incorrect word popped into BOTH your pretty empty heads at the same time???? Seems rather unlikely, dontcha think??? Just admit to it. You're both busted!

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 31/01/2021 20:52

Blimey, you're good dexter.

Thanks Rogue. Enjoying the playlist!

Love that song too!

Does anyone know this group.. Nobody irl has heard of them! But maybe one of you lovely lot have..

People gossip on the doorstep
Think they know the score
She's giving him the runaround
The man from number four
80's

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 31/01/2021 21:52

I first met you
Hanging knickers on the line
From that moment on

90s

I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday, but song lyrics seem to stick in my noggin

Not a blinking clue
You're tough!

Honeyroar · 31/01/2021 22:03

Yes Rogue, we both thought of the wrong song title because that’s what he bloody sings. And not being a particular Pulp fan I have never cared enough to learn the proper title..

Oh yes, well done Dexter 👏👏👏👏

Fleamaker1234

I’m just leaving these lyrics here because whenever I post anything by this group I end up posting the entire song but nobody seems to know or like them apart from me. Wondering if you’ll nab the points...

90s
Is there someone else?
Or am I too familiar?
Was it when I said I wanted to have children?

I cannot lie - I was impatient intrigued so had to google.
In the interests of fairness I won't say who/what it is, but no, I'd not heard of them and would never have got it! I see the link though.

80s
She speaks her lips are kissing
The air around her face
I don't always understand her
I love her air and grace

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 31/01/2021 22:51

Flea, those lyrics sound familiar. I can't name it at the moment though. Or hear it in my head

There's no sure-fire set solutions
No shortcut through the trees
No breaching the wall that they put there to keep you from me
As you're lying awake in this darkness

FlouncingBabooshka · 31/01/2021 22:55

80s
A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence
The highways quiet scars across the land
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming

I'm trying not to say anything because you're new.

Somebody muzzle me!!!

Honeyroar · 31/01/2021 23:02

I’m amazed at your restraint. Two of us that didn’t use google have been bollocked for using google today...
