Post some lyrics of a song from 70s, 80s, 90s (may push slightly either way) with the decade & we will try & guess the song & singer

This is can't get used to losing you

I can remember the 80s version but not who sung it. It had a ska type beat. Original was Andy Williams I think .

If I was on the first thread I was under another name ... when I was prepping the quiz I surprised myself that I was on some early ones then dropped off , forgot all about it all, before reappearing as me

NeedToKnow101 · 18/02/2021 10:54

Funny we're reminiscing about our earlier threads now 😂😂..

I tried to search for the older threads but it took me to an archive.. will try again later.

He reminds me of smoky 80's nightclubs NeedToKnow101

midgedude · 18/02/2021 11:04

To find older threads you need to use google not mn search

The first threads were not called ( or thereabouts) ... posting outside of the 80s was frowned upon

If you can't find it , I think I book marked it on the laptop

Was it you that did the intros quiz and asked for ideas?

You are the true admin queen, midge 👸

shinynewapple21 · 18/02/2021 11:10

Yes I can remember getting to the end of thread one and general decision we wanted to carry on . Someone suggested a change in the decade then others said they wouldn't know the lyrics so well outside of that decade . Not sure when we officially said we'd include the other decades .

Honeyroar · 18/02/2021 11:12

I remember none of this!

Nothing wrong with 1980's nightclubs Grin I used to smoke back in the day . Gave up many years ago.

Perhaps you had more pressing issues on your mind Honey !

Yes. (How long can I use that excuse for? In reality my recent memory is dreadful!)

I found the first thread just using a search of one of the user names, and selecting the beginning to the end of May 2020 and having a scroll through x

Fleamaker123 · 18/02/2021 11:26

It was 28 May to narrow it down
