The answers to my un-got outstanding ones:

And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on then all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
There's nothing wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone

He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
90s
Blur Beetlebum

Sing
Us a song
A song to keep
Us warm
There's
Such a chill
Such a chill

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your
Rules and wisdom choke you

Now
We are one
In everlasting peace

We hope that you choke
That you choke
We hope that you choke
That you choke
We hope
That you choke
That you choke
90s
Radiohead, Exit Music (for a Film)

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
contemplating a crime.
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
70s
Year of the Cat, Al Stewart, which (funnily enough) was one of the lyrics up when I read through old December threads last night.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
60s
Bob Dylan, the times they are a-changin’ (did this one get got? Sorry!)

@shinynewapple21

Come mothers and fathers - times they are a changing Bob Dylan

Damn! I wondered if the one about the cap was Too much too young . Don't see it as 70s though. Most ska/two -tone stuff 80-81 I thought

sorry, shiny. You did get it.

Yes Rogue and Dexter 👍👍

I hate it when the rest of you coast on my brilliance for points.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 12/04/2021 18:27

Coffee's first one is Aerosmith. I knew the other two as well.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 12/04/2021 18:47

Correct Rogue.

Of course she does Coffee!🍰. You might as well do a birthday cake. Or I’ll do a tray bake!

Flea yours isn’t ringing any bells. Can you give a bit more?

NeedToKnow101 · 12/04/2021 21:22
  1. Every night
Every day Just to be there in your arms 00s
  1. Shake it up is all that we know
Using the bodies up as we go I'm waking up to fantasy The shades all around aren't the colors we used to see 80s
  1. The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who you are Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees You feel like a movie star 80s
  1. Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red 80s
  1. Work it
Make it Do it Makes us 00s

No theme!

NeedToKnow101 · 12/04/2021 21:22

Cake!!!!!

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 12/04/2021 21:33

I'm ashamed to say, last night's midsummer 😳

I know a lot of of the locations they use

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 12/04/2021 21:35

No, I'll look again when the TV goes off if no one's got it in the meantime. I'm sure I can get it from those lyrics
But thank you x

😂😂😂 I can proudly say I've never seen MM! I do love a known location though. They filmed a recent drama at my workplace, so we all had to watch it of course.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 12/04/2021 21:39

Hall & Oates, Out of touch 😍

Was hurriedly thinking 'I must get that before NeedToKnow101 cos she'll know that one'. .. then realised you'd posted it!

Fleamaker123 · 12/04/2021 21:50

A bit more of mine Honeyroar

You gotta Bossa Nova, gotta Samba too
You gotta dig the Cha Cha like your papa do
You gotta take a chance, you gotta learn to dance
The Xxx on the road to Rio

No my college was pretending to be a police station. I think it was Liar with Ioan Gruffudd.

I used to work in Oxford so knew plenty of the locations used in Inspector Morse.
Dh saw one of the scenes being filmed for A Fish Called Wanda when he was working round the corner.
