Since I met you
I’ve begun to feel so strange
Every time I speak your name
(80s)

@NeedToKnow101

Just before I go to bed these songs popped into my head..

Madman drummer bummers
Indians in the summer
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps
His way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder
Feeling kinda older
70s

Oh I forgot the other one.. 😘

Blinded by the light It was a hit for Manfred Mann, I think, as Midge has said , written by Bruce Springsteen
shinynewapple21 · 24/02/2021 16:32

Correct Shiny and Midge too. ✅✅😘

Honeyroar · 24/02/2021 19:20

Correct Flea.

The one from the other day was Gloria Estafan and the Miami Sound Machine - Rhythm is gonna get you.

I’m hoping Midge’s move has gone well, the weather has been windy and wet here today, hope it hasn’t made things difficult for her.

Fleamaker123 · 24/02/2021 19:25

Oh yes Honeyroar of course

Honeyroar · 24/02/2021 21:08

I’m hot
Sticky sweet
From my head to my feet
(80s)

shinynewapple21 · 24/02/2021 21:11

How's the move gone @midgedude ? Are you in your new home ?

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 24/02/2021 21:35

Hope all well. Hope the move happening midge.

Honeyroar · 24/02/2021 21:45

Correct Rogue.✅

But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
(80s)

I said it again but could I please rephrase it
Maybe I could catch a ride
I couldn’t really put it much plainer
But I’ll wait til you decide

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 24/02/2021 21:47

First one is i want to break free by Queen.

3rd one is the cure. Let's go to bed

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 24/02/2021 21:48

I thought my brain was too fried to guess a lyric.

Everyone ok?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/02/2021 21:51

Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
My mind was sleepwalking

Correct Rogue for both. (Sorry coffee). The middle one is a very popular band on here too.

Hope you’re all ok.

Honeyroar · 24/02/2021 22:01

Coffee is that Oliver’s army? Brittney keeps changing the artist’s name as I type it - she’s put Levi and Elbow Costello so far!!??

shinynewapple21 · 24/02/2021 22:03

The Cure was already guessed by Rogue Pantry. The middle one is still outstanding though.

Oh, yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know
