Walking down the street, kicking cans
Looking at the Billboard, oh so bland
Summing up the people, checking out the race
Doing what I'm doing, feeling out of place.
80s statuesque iconic diva

Is that Grace Jones?

NeedToKnow101 · 29/04/2021 18:22

It sure is Dexter.. ✅😘 which song?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 29/04/2021 18:39

Slave to the rhythm?
She was SCARY

To help rogue gain control , my outstanding one

The worst crime I ever did was playing rock snd roll
But the money s no good

NeedToKnow101 · 29/04/2021 18:55

Not Slave to the rhythm... fits Honey's fire-quenching theme.

Honeyroar · 29/04/2021 19:02

I can’t think of a rainy Grace Jones song. Pull up to the bumper is the only other one I can get!

My miss/Mrs one is a good old disco type song. I found a compilation cd with it on in my car with it on.

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 29/04/2021 19:53

Walking in the Rain!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 29/04/2021 20:00

Hey baby what’s your name?
Is it a Mrs or is it a miss? Eh?
If you’re by yourself I’d like to take you for a ride
We could check the scene and we could reggae down
(80s)

Kool & The Gang
Let's go dancing

That made my head hurt!

Just walking along
My clothes are soaked right through to the skin
I haven’t a doubt
This is what life’s all about
(80s crazy group with loose pants...)

is the second one Madness? The sun and the rain.

I REALLY want to know what needtoknow's magic mushrooms one is.

Stands quietly in line and waits to be offered a donut

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 29/04/2021 20:31

midgedude · 29/04/2021 20:32

Yeah yeah !!

midgedude · 29/04/2021 20:33

Jam, apple or custard?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 29/04/2021 20:53

"Have another donut Dexter!"

Errmmm..... I kinda accidentally ate another two today .....Blush

I was wondering what Midge had done to offend you, then I realised it was the song title Grin
Honeyroar · 29/04/2021 20:59

Yes Rogue it is The Sun and the Rain. Did my clue give it away. (Chucks a donut like a fish at a seal).

Honeyroar · 29/04/2021 21:02

I just presumed Rogue was bollocking Midge. I’m a bit worried about our Rogue. She’s been terribly (unusually) polite lately. I breathed a sigh of relief when she told Midge to get a grip, now I’m worried again.

midgedude · 29/04/2021 21:13

She just wants the donuts I think

NeedToKnow101 · 29/04/2021 21:37

I used to love that song when I was eight! Another one I'd forgotten.

NeedToKnow101 · 29/04/2021 21:38

A cheese do-nut

NeedToKnow101 · 29/04/2021 21:39

My mushroom one is She brings the rain, by Can.
A musically advanced ex put it on a mixtape for me back in the day,
