Hello @FlouncingBabooshka

What I find is pleasing etc

Heart of glass by Blondie

@WhipperSnapperSteve

Ahh the Kate Bush one is King of the Mountain methinks.

You thinks right!

It’s about Elvis Presley.

Yes, Shiney 👏 - double points to you for being the first to get one from this theme.

Also - should have given Midge a couple of hundred bonus points the other day for getting my slightly weird theme. Have them now Midge.

(I’m trying to lure @MNerGoneRogueAgain by handing out points all over the place)

I don't need love etc I think is one of the James Bond themes which Shirley Bassey sung, not sure which

Have the points anyway Shinynewapple! Who cares if you don’t know the song?

(Living dangerously here...)

Thanks flouncing - I recognise your last one too - thinking on it !

Hope you are OK @MNerGoneRogueAgain ?

Diamonds are forever -

Diamonds / glass ?

Groove is in the heart by Deelite is in there.

Yes Pantry for Wheatus 👍

Yes to Diamonds are Forever and Groove is in the Heart Shiny and Honey.

That’s not the connection Shiny.

70s
People talk about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong

I know this one, I'm a joker, I'm a toker
Some people call me Maureen (whit-woo!)

FlouncingB is it a deck of cards??

First one is sgt pepper

👏👏👏👏Fleamaker. It is indeed a deck of cards and the song is The Joker by The Steve Miller Band.

I think they call him Maurice rather than Maureen though

A hundred bonus points for the theme!

Missed you guys. Been a crazy week.

How are we?

I will be checking the thread VERY carefully before any points are added or deducted from the spreadsheet of points

hurrah! I though the liberal dishing out of points would attract you @MNerGoneRogueAgain!

Need the actual title of the song for points though

@FlouncingBabooshka

👏👏👏👏Fleamaker. It is indeed a deck of cards and the song is The Joker by The Steve Miller Band.

A hundred bonus points for the theme!

100,000???? Are you on crack???? Is this what happens when I lie low for a couple of days?

Flea gets a point for the song, one for the group and a bonus for the theme

Sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band

@FlouncingBabooshka

Here’s a new theme...

60s
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile

80s
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me

70s
I don't need love
For what good will love do me?

80s
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine

80s
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young, I'm told

80s
A passion course that leads to pain
An acid taste that laced her soul again

90s
Your groove I do deeply dig
No walls, only the bridge

80s
The girl in the cake
Jumped out too soon by mistake,
Somebody said the whole thing's half baked

70s
If I can't live in love then surely I’ve lost.
You tend to get burned, tend to get bruised,
But it's my life whatever i choose.

70s
People talk about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong

Is the ‘If I can’t live in love’ one Heart on my sleeve, Gallagher and Lyle ?

Is ace of spades on the theme?

From a jack to a king. Is that one?

Ooh I get points at last 😆

100,000???? Are you on crack???? Is this what happens when I lie low for a couple of days?

I didn’t say 100,000 Rogue. Are you a bit drunk? (probably why she hasn’t been around lately - drunken stupor)

Flea gets a point for the song, one for the group and a bonus for the theme

Theme-setters award theme bonus points. 100 seems fair.

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

Is ace of spades on the theme?

Might be.

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

From a jack to a king. Is that one?

That sounds like it would have been a good one if I’d known the song!

There are no Kings and Queens - just the suits and the joker.
