MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/02/2021 20:08

Gah! Didn't know we'd gone over a page

glares at honey

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/02/2021 20:15

Yrs, coffee. Dollar. But which of their shit songs was it?

SavageSplinter · 15/02/2021 20:17

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

Is coffee the longest married? I was 1995, so she well beats me.

Incidentally, who were the January birthdays? I think there were 3????

I know needtoknow was one. Was flea another?

Who has a birthday coming up?

We really need midge to do a spreadsheet.

Mine is April.

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

I have a January birthday also.
I’ve been married (too long) since 1992, and we’ve been together 30 (waaaay too long).

Hope all okay, sorry people are feeling down, just remember that lighter, warmer days are ahead. 🌞💐😘😘😘

Some songs on a theme .

  1. and if it seems I'm not the one you used to know
    Our little friendship left behind not long ago
    Don't feel too hurt
    80s

  2. crazy skies all wild above me now
    Winter howling at my face
    And everything I held so dear
    Disappeared without a trace
    90s

  3. I'm standing in the rain
    Drenched and soaked with pain
    Tired of short time benefits
    And being exposed to the elements
    (80s)

  4. you're just a sinner I am told
    Be your fire when you're cold
    Make you happy when you're sad
    80s

  5. I realised quickly when I knew I should
    That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
    (Think it's 90s)

  6. when I'm getting off the train
    And my love is on my brain
    Every day and every night
    The only thing that makes it right
    (80s)

Hello splinter. Welcome to the thread.

I hope you had a nice birthday

There are some unguessed lyrics on the last page.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/02/2021 20:27

No 5 is what's going on. I know others but can't think

shinynewapple21 · 15/02/2021 20:27

Hello @SavageSplinter

The lyrics I've just posted are around a 'theme' .

Honeyroar · 15/02/2021 20:29

Look at Shiny, all organised with her numbers!

Is no 6 Haircut100? Can’t think which. Fantastic Day?

shinynewapple21 · 15/02/2021 20:30

Helllo Savage!
What's going on is a Marvin Gaye song.
Shiny; so glad you are experimenting with a revolutionary 'numbered list.'

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/02/2021 20:39

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Rogue, unfortunately your description doesn't narrow it down much! Mirror Mirror?
🤣🤣🤣

But yes. Well done coffee.

Shiny, no i don't remember who sang it. Some woman????

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/02/2021 20:41

Revolutionary is over-egging it a bit needtoknow

NeedToKnow101 · 15/02/2021 20:42

I'm really pissed off. I missed the first 6 minutes of Would I lie to you?

NeedToKnow101 · 15/02/2021 20:46

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

Revolutionary is over-egging it a bit needtoknow

I beg to differ Rogue, in our little self-created world it's certainly revolutionary.

(I tried to write new-fangled initially but it wrote new-dangled)

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/02/2021 20:52

You were britney'd!

shinynewapple21 · 15/02/2021 20:54

It's not Marvin Gaye Needtoknow. The song is actually called what's up but what's going on is the chorus . Rogue is correct the singer/s is/are female

Correct to Prince Pantry

Honeyroar · 15/02/2021 21:23

Should I ask you to dance?
(dance boy dance boy)
If I promise romance
Would you come for the ride?
(80s)

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 15/02/2021 21:35

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

And the above song reminded me of this gem....

Fancy a bite
My appetite
Yum, yum, gee it's fun
Banging on a different drum
80s

Toto Coelo, I eat cannibals That's on my running list!
