Yes, correct song.

I haven't met him. That was needtoknow. He was everso pretty though.
Bit wimpy, but pretty

Honeyroar · 26/04/2021 23:05

Sorry Needtoknow! I am getting a habit of that. Did you smog him?

Honeyroar · 26/04/2021 23:08

I never thought he was pretty. I vaguely remember a Weakest Link 80s celebrity edition and Ann Robinson got each singer to sing a bit of their song as they went off as the weakest link and I think he said he couldn’t sing, it was all edited.

Interested in this thread?

That's OK I do it sometimes too, and I haven't the foggiest! 🤪
dexterslockedintheshedagain · 27/04/2021 06:47

I feel so twp 🙄 I didn't pick up on Rogues hints

midgedude · 27/04/2021 07:02

Yeah carnage

By way of hint , since carnage had band and one of the songs can anyone guess the other

Honeyroar · 27/04/2021 08:30

Would the middle one be Skindeep then Midge? (pure guess and not even sure it’s the right title!)

Honeyroar · 27/04/2021 09:09

These are relevant today-

Come on you little fighter
No need to get up tighter
Come on you little fighter
And get back up again
(80s)

Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(80s)

I’ve been waiting for her
For so long
(80s)

Just walking along
My clothes are soaked right through to the skin
I haven’t a doubt
That this is what life is all about
(80s)

It’s time
To come together
It’s up to you
What’s your pleasure
(80s)

🎉🎉🎉🎉

NeedToKnow101 · 27/04/2021 09:31

Am at work, just quickly popped in. have a good day everyone..

Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(80s)
Annie Lennox Eurythmics Here comes the rain

It’s time
To come together
It’s up to you
What’s your pleasure
(80s)
Kool and the Gang Celebrate -

Hope that means the fires are actually out now Honey?

Honeyroar · 27/04/2021 09:44

It means it was raining. Although stopped now! Think it’s meant to be showers on and off all day, so here’s hoping. The fire is out but the peat could do with some water to be safe.

And correct to Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics (right group wrong song Midge) and Celebration. ✅✅

Its raining again. Supertramp.

The cult. Rain.

Can't think what the penultimate one is!

Honeyroar · 27/04/2021 10:34

@Honeyroar

Now here you are begging to me To give our love another try Girl I love you, I always will But darlin right now I’ve gotta say goodbye (80s)
Correct Rogue with both. ✅✅

The remaining one is a fun 80s band and there’s obviously a rain theme..

This one I posted the other day has a rain theme too..

Honeyroar · 27/04/2021 10:54

Apparently I was wrong, it’s not gone out, just changed direction in the night and burned another two miles in the other direction. 🙁. They’ve got helicopters dropping water at the minute but we desperately need the rain that was forecast.

Honeyroar · 27/04/2021 12:09

So upsetting.

So sorry to hear this honey.

So sad

If I’d have been paying attention earlier I’d have challenged you to put some 80s lyrics into the presentation- I mean I’ve had to base my future menu around you lot..
midgedude · 27/04/2021 18:23

Oh.. I like it ... a form of the banana challenge

There are a number of papers with the word banana shoehorned in

Leave it with me

NeedToKnow101 · 27/04/2021 20:10

Those fires are so awful Honey. We need the rain!

I think lyrics should be smattered into everyone's everyday life and work. My manager often starts a Teams call with 'Question,' then he does some Beyoncé moves and we all start singing 😂

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 27/04/2021 20:11

Evening all - how is it only Tuesday ... I feel as if I have done a week of work already!

Just had a draw through the thread and I can see I've missed some class lyrics.

Hope everyone is well.

Here are some 80s ones

  1. With barbed wire kisses and her love

2)That's why I drink so I'll be who they think I am

  1. ... the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark
    It scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark

  2. And you should've left the light on
    You should've left the light on
    Then I wouldn't have tried
    And you'd never have known

@Honeyroar - I sometimes shoehorn 80s lyrics into staff meetings or in my weekly email. Sadly most colleagues are too young to appreciate them - but one member of staff is old like me and we smirk at each other.

Mind you, it doesn't beat my finest moment of using "That would be an ecumenical matter" (one for the Father Ted fans) in a Governing Body Meeting

Yes - came on to shuffle on my phone today. I love that song.
Honeyroar · 27/04/2021 20:20

I love it too.
Apparently Brittney listens to Vouce of the Beehive!!🤯

Honeyroar · 27/04/2021 20:23

I’d love my boss to sneak 80s things into staff messages, but not much chance of that. They haven’t noticed that they’ve rostered three upcoming shifts for someone that left last week!
