I think 4 is Lua by Bright Eyes. I used to listen to it a lot back then.

Honeyroar · 13/03/2021 23:25

Oh! No 7 is Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones.

9 is The Smiths
this Charming Man

FlouncingBabooshka · 13/03/2021 23:38

Well done Honey, Whippersnappersteve and Coffee - Dancing with Tears in my Eyes, Being Boring and Teenage Dirtbag.

And yes Steve, Teenage Dirtbag really is over twenty years old Shock There’s no hope for me - my brain insists the 1990s were ten years ago!

FlouncingBabooshka · 13/03/2021 23:40

Also correct Honey for Ruby Tuesday, Pantry for This Charming Man and Steve for Lua. I love that song.

FlouncingBabooshka · 13/03/2021 23:41

@Honeyroar

No Steve, Teenage dirtbag says SHE doesn’t give a damn... jumped into my head too.
Different verse Honey - the ‘he’ is her boyfriend.
Honeyroar · 13/03/2021 23:48

Oh! So is it teenage dirtbag then? (Sorry Steve!)

@FlouncingBabooshka

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
Morning

Did anyone get that no 8 is the kinks. Waterloo sunset

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 14/03/2021 09:02

Fleamaker123 · 14/03/2021 10:07

Morning!

Correct WhipperSnapperSteve for Mai Tai 👍 you were 6!

What was the link Shiny?

shinynewapple21 · 14/03/2021 10:42

Morning all Smile

Fleamaker - a clue .

Do you watch TV ( as it actual TV programmes not Netflix or box sets) ? Think about when you may have heard those songs !

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/03/2021 11:15

Morning all 😊

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/03/2021 11:17

Shiny was it a TOTP look back type programme?

OP posts:
shinynewapple21 · 14/03/2021 11:22

Not that Coffee

It's more about what happens between the programmes !

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/03/2021 11:41

Songs used for adverts?

OP posts:
shinynewapple21 · 14/03/2021 11:53

Yes Coffee Smile

All songs feature in current adverts .

Spandeau ballet's True is actually in two! (McDonalds and some WiFi/broadband ad)

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 14/03/2021 12:33

Who watches the adverts????

shinynewapple21 · 14/03/2021 13:22

There are some adverts I've noticed as I like the songs on them , and having decided a couple of weeks back I was going to use it as a theme I started actively noting down some songs that were featured . Sad I know - but it's given me something to do 🤷‍♀️
