Loving these songs! Think I’d better go to bed so I’ve got good tunes in my head for work tomorrow.

Was I right with my Luther answer @Honeyroar , Rogue is stealing all my points so I need to cash in when she's not around!

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 24/04/2021 23:53

looms above. Speaks in a booming voice
ROGUE SEES ALL

thanks for new thread coffee

Yes I thought I’d said you were. Nobody got the other one I posted with it.
Fleamaker123 · 25/04/2021 10:59

Morning everyone 🌞

You told me I was the one
The only one who got your head undone
And for a while I believed the line that you spun

But I've been lookin' at you
Lookin' closely at the things you do
I didn't see you the way you wanted me to

70's

Honeyroar · 25/04/2021 11:11

Morning Flea. Don’t think I know that one. But I’m amazed that you got a shot of Formby yesterday with no people- I thought it would’ve been rammed. Although I think half of the north west were at our café!

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 25/04/2021 12:14

I don't know yours either Flea. But one of the lines is a line from a Damned song, so I have a punky ear-worm this morning. But it's quite pleasurable, so I thank you.

Morning all.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 25/04/2021 12:15

Or even afternoon!

Cafe still crazy busy, Honey pie? It was a beautiful day down south, so if it was similar with you, I do understand why everyone wanted to be out and about.
Counting down the days til you're your own boss!

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 25/04/2021 12:22

OMG!!!! I've just had SUCH an ace idea for your trailer.

As an 'omage to us and these threads, you should OF COURSE name all your cakes after us!

Coffee-coffee does make you sound like you've got a speech impediment (and if it's tea, your customers will think you're insane)
Shiny chocolate cake sounds delish.
Midge bites and Flea bites sound a bit less good. may not be such good sellers and might attract the attention of environmental health.
Needto know have muffins will be a winner
Carnage treacle tart
Pantry apple pie
Flouncing meringues just sound rude! (But I like it)
And, of course, your winning Rogue flapjacks!
Not sure about dexter puddings. No insult dexter. You suddenly sound like an artificial sweetner. You might need to name change.
But who could resist your whipper whips!!! They'll be a hit with the BDSM community!

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 25/04/2021 12:41

Some ridiculously easy. Some a little more challenging….
(points will be awarded appropriately)

All 80s

  1. We’re no strangers to love
  1. Let 'em say we're crazy
I don't care about that Put your hand in my hand Baby, don't ever look back
  1. Whoa and the judge and the jury
They all put the blame on me
  1. You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job I've always worked for a living
  1. I'm surprised you
Let me stay around you
  1. See the thorn twist in your side
  1. Explanations are complications
We don't need to know the "Where?" or "Why?"
  1. Rythmic, systemic and world control
Magnetic, genetic, dement your soul
  1. I was crippled emotionally
  1. If I made you feel second best
    (extra points for naming the 3 artists who had hits with this)

  2. It's gonna take time
    A whole lot of precious time

  3. You try to avoid her, fate is in your hands
    She's smiling, an invitation to the dance

  4. You're shattered by the final frame
    Of the movie scene that generates your every aim
