So, here you go. I hope there's a few of you about.
These are all super-easy. Soooooo easy that there's no points, except where I've specifically specified.
I haven't numbered them because (a) no one was admiring enough of my roman numerals the other day and (b) it'll add to the chaos!
The theme is songs with distinctive first lines.
Have fun!
Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
60s
Today is gonna be the day
That they’re gonna throw it back to you
90s
It’s a goodawful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
Wake in the mornin' and tumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
She came from Greece
She had a thirst for knowledge
90s
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life
80s
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
70s
Let’s go girls
90s
Just a small town girl
Livin’ in a lonely world
00s
You walked into the party like you were
Walking onto a yacht
70s
What you want?
Baby, I got it
60s
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there’s not much left
90s
Bollocks!
70s
You lot won’t get this one. This one is my indulgence. You might guess the band???
There must be some kinda way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
60s
Hello darkness, my old friend
60s
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
70s
Stranded at the drive in
70s
Hello. Is there anybody in there?
70s or very fabulous cover in the 00s Need both for the points
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
70s
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
70s
Once I had a love and it was a gas
70s
Out on the wiley, windy moors
70s
Street’s like a jungle
So call the police
90s
If there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?
80s
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk I’m a woman’s man
70s
Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
70s
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
80s
Outside gets inside
Through her skin
70s
I am a lineman for the county
60s
It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
80s
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
80s
Get your motor running
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, flowing into the night
60s
No New Year’s Day to celebrate
80s
I may not always love you
But as long as there are stars above you
60s
Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Mi-i-n-e
Give it to me one time now
Well, whoa, well
80s
Don’t start me talking
I could talk all night
70s
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor
60s
There’s a new sensation
A fabulous creation
70s
Why do birds suddenly appear
70s
Bless my cotton socks I’m in the news
80s
I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
80s
I’m so tired
Of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Johnny’s in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I’m on the pavement
Thinkin’ ‘bout the government
60s
It’s Christmas Time
There’s no need to be afraid
80s
I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
I don’t want talk
About the things we’ve gone through
80s (just)
I feel so unsure
80s
And now, the end is near
And I so I face the final curtain
Bonus points if anyone can name the punk artist who covered it, and what was the next line, that doesn’t appear in the original? Treble bonus points for naming it.
All around me are familiar faces
80s
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed the seas
60s
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
70s
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
80s
