Some fairly easy songs here with a link. I think it's a link rather than a theme, although not quite sure of the difference .

(1)

So what's the matter with you,
Sing me something new
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know
90s

(2).

Talkin' it over , just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
70s

(3)
This is the sound of my soul
80s

(4)
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let's talk about it
60s

(5)
And I don't wanna spend my whole life
Just a waiting for you
80s

(6)
This is it for a winner
Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner

(It's coming up on google as 90s, although I thought 80s)

  1. Wouldn't it be nice ... beach boys?
midgedude · 13/03/2021 17:15

Honeyroar · 13/03/2021 19:22

Flea yours is C’est la Vie by Robbie someone (am watching Harry Potter so keep getting Coltrane in my head!).

Fleamaker123 · 13/03/2021 19:23

I need your love tonight
Not just a hand to hold

Fleamaker123 · 13/03/2021 19:25

Yes Honeyroar! Robbie Nevill it was 😂

Fleamaker123 · 13/03/2021 21:27

Having terrible trouble getting on MN... Is it just me?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 13/03/2021 21:53

Mine seems ok, Flea

Honeyroar · 13/03/2021 21:59

It crashes about every ten minutes with me tonight and takes about another ten minutes to come back.

WhipperSnapperSteve · 13/03/2021 22:01

Mai Tai - Body & Soul.

I think I'm getting old, I was six when that came out!

WhipperSnapperSteve · 13/03/2021 22:02

Have had problems tonight too, so I gave up in the end, grabbed a cider and watched the football!

WhipperSnapperSteve · 13/03/2021 22:03

Shiny, is your 1. Stand by Me by Oasis?

WhipperSnapperSteve · 13/03/2021 22:05

And your 6 is U Can't Touch This by (whatever he's changed his name to now) MC Hammer, covered by the Glee cast a few years ago (so says DD)...

shinynewapple21 · 13/03/2021 22:38

Correct with both @WhipperSnapperSteve

Songs were

Stand by me - oasis
Can't touch this MC Hammer
Only just begun - carpenters
True - spandeau ballet
Wouldn't it be nice - beach boys
Walking on sunshine - Katrina and the waves

Anyone know the link ?

FlouncingBabooshka · 13/03/2021 23:01

Happy weekend.

Hope the first week back at school has been ok for everyone...

A few for anyone still around, no link other than they are all songs I’ve heard today...

  1. 1980s
The teacher never told you anything but white lies
  1. 1990s
Now I sit with different faces In rented rooms and foreign places All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing
  1. 1960s
Look like nothin's gonna change Everything, still remains the same
  1. 2005
Well, we might die from medication But we sure killed all the pain
  1. 1980s
It's time and we're in each other's arms It's time but I don't think we really care
  1. 1970s
He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van
  1. 1960s
Don't question why she needs to be so free She'll tell you it's the only way to be
  1. 1960s
People so busy Make me feel dizzy Taxi light shines so bright
  1. 1980s
Why pamper life's complexity When the leather runs smooth On the passenger's seat?
  1. 2000 But he doesn't know who I am And he doesn't give a damn about me

Honeyroar · 13/03/2021 23:22
