@FlouncingBabooshka

Was only intending to bookmark the thread so I could find it again tomorrow but I have to congratulate I’ve Carnage’s fabulous new username that has jumped out at me from the page. I feel a best user name award hat trick in the not too distant future...

Haven’t been around much lately so hope everyone’s ok.

Right...am going to attempt many pages of catch-up.

😘 to all xx

Ah, thank you @FlouncingBabooshka 😀 Hope you’re ok too kisses 😘

We’re having Italian takeaway for tea tonight, soooooo....that’s even more cheese !!!

@NeedToKnow101, well, to be honest, I am running out of ideas for more cheese inspired lyrics.

Happy Saturday All

I tell myself
Hey, only fools rush in
And only time will tell
If we stand the test of time

Hi All.

coffee, is that why can't this be love.

It's rock, but I can't think what group atm.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/03/2021 17:15

Right.... I haven't posted any lyrics for a bit, so here you all go. You're welcome.

A very, very, very, very easy theme, so no points available for guessing it. Not cheese, although some of them are quite cheesy.

  1. I just never understood
    How a man who died for good
    Could not have a day that would
    Be set aside for his recognition
    80s

  2. 'Cause you're evil
    And you lie
    And if you should die
    I may feel slightly sad
    But I won't cry
    80s

  3. I know you want it in the worst way
    Can't wait to blow my candles out
    He want that
    2010s

  4. He lives next door, they listen to the weather, he knows how many freckles
    she's got,
    She scratches his beard. she's painting huge books, glues them together,
    They saw a big raven; it glided down the sky, she touched it.
    80s

  5. I say, "I remember you
    You drive like a PTA mother"
    You brought me draft beer
    In a plastic cup

I'm feeling thankful
For the small things today
I'm feeling thankful
For the small things today
90s

  1. Yes we're going to a party party
    Yes we're going to a party party
    Yes we're going to a party party
    60s (I think you might all struggle a bit with this one)

  2. Now close your eyes babe, listen to the melody
    Anything you want my sweet just ask me
    It's the day for us to share so leave your problems outta me
    It's right here in me and make this day history
    90s

  3. I remember always, always I got such a fright
    80s

Π) If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
60s

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/03/2021 17:16

p.s. And all numbered, as requested. I'd insert a halo emoji, but I'm not on my phone.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/03/2021 17:16
Halo ah!
MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/03/2021 17:19

Another theme. Again, all numbered. They’re all 80s. There’s one that DOES fit the theme, but shouldn’t be there, so bonus points for that anyone who spots that one. 50 bonus points to anyone who correctly identify the two songs on this list which make sick come into my mouth.

  1. Heaven must have sent you down ,
    Down for you to give me a thrill,
    Every time you touch me
    Every time you hold me,
    My heart starts speeding like a train on a track.
    You Drive Me Crazy, Shakin’ Stevens

  2. Play all my records, keep dancing all night
    But leave me alone for awhile

  3. If only he would write me or call
    A word of explanation, that's all.

  4. How I've waited for this moment
    To be by your side
    Your best friend wrote and told me
    You had tear drops in you eyes

  5. I don't know anything about you, baby
    But you're everything I'm dreaming of

  6. Wiggle like a stick, wobble like a duck
    [not a lyric, but I swear on a stack of bibles, that until this very second I thought you were supposed to wriggle like a snake!]

  7. And it's hard to see how anyone
    Could say with pride
    Never loved or tried
    There's a different meaning in the words
    I love you, I love you

  8. The heat of passion is such a beautiful thing
    As it overflows, pleasure grows
    [not a lyric, but wonder if that’s a euphemism. Arf!]

  9. You'll find a love you can share
    One you can call your own
    Just close your eyes you'll be there
    You'll never be alone

  10. Now don't you get me wrong (what you sayin' to me, baby?)

All other answers correct.

No one guessing either theme?

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/03/2021 18:34

Dammit! Of COURSE it was van Halen. I knew that. Honest.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/03/2021 18:34

Do the hucklebuck is correct, coffee, but that's not the name of the group.
