2. Incognito - Always There
  1. The Avalanches - Since I Left You
  2. Basement Jaxx - Where’s Your Head

I met Norman Cook in early 00s, right arrogant arse. His wife (Zoe Ball) was lovely and told him to "find his personality" Grin

✅✅✅ 😘 Steve! Wasn't sure if anyone would get the Avalanches one so have an extra point.
I thought it was a romantic dance tune 'Since I met you' for ages, until I opened my ears and realised it was 'Since I left you' GrinGrin Great tune IMO.

Happy birthday to ya Stevie Wonder! ❤️

Honeyroar · 13/05/2021 21:49

It’s time we should talk about it
There’s no secrets kept in here
Forgive me for asking
Now wipe away your tears
(80s)

Honeyroar · 13/05/2021 21:59

If the waters still flowing we can go for a swim
Do the things we used to do
And if I’m reluctant you can pull me in
And we can relive our youth

It is. I love that song.

NeedToKnow101 · 14/05/2021 08:02

two of mine still outstanding...

  1. When you're in my hut
You know what's up Let your mind be free Relax your body 80s Honey I'm sure you've got this before..
  1. Don't let the walls cave in on you
We can live on, live on without you Don't let the walls cave in on you We can live on, live on without you Don't let the walls cave in on you You get what you give that much is true 00s

Bonus track
I'm the hottest 'round
I told y'all mother-ooh
Y'all can't stop me now
Listen to me now
I'm lasting twenty rounds
00

And one more..

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong, moving in the right direction
70s

Happy Friday y'all.

Fleamaker123 · 14/05/2021 09:20

God it's years since I've heard that Depeche Mode song Honeyroar, I'd completely forgotten it. I'm going to have to listen to it now!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/05/2021 15:12

@NeedToKnow101 You won't be mixing up Honey with me - I'm queen of the easy guesses 🤣.
More likely Rogue!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/05/2021 21:03

@NeedToKnow101 Busy week, not always great & soooo glad it's Friday.

All of my friends keep asking why
I'm quiet when you're around.
But they don't know I think
I'm so lucky to stop myself from falling down
