@RogueMNerHidesUnderBigHat

All correct, but you got the black crows title slightly wrong. Want to try again? For the point
Hot to handle perhaps?
RogueMNerHidesUnderBigHat · 12/06/2021 21:28

Correct coffee and honey

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 12/06/2021 21:37

Coffee and honey sounds like an especially delicious cake

I'd buy that off Honey's trailer

NeedToKnow101 · 12/06/2021 21:54

On Rogue's theme:

She got red hot pants on
She got on a low-neck see through blouse with no brassier on
90s

FlouncingBabooshka · 12/06/2021 22:04

I can’t guess anything because Mr FB is playing music very loudly and it’s driving out any ability to recognise lyrics so I’ll post some instead.

Give me a minute...

@RogueMNerHidesUnderBigHat

What to do - on a night like this Music sweet - I can't resist

80s

Had to double check This one and the original is just called hot, hot, hot and it was by Arrow .

FlouncingBabooshka · 12/06/2021 22:16

No theme - well, there is a loose theme but one that only I could identify, so effectively no theme:

1990s
A pebble beach,
We’re underneath a pier that’s just been painted red
Where I heard the news for the first time

1980s
The first time I died
Was in the arms of good friends of mine.

1960s
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray

1990s
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the 1990s

NeedToKnow101 · 12/06/2021 22:19

Can't guess any of them FB. I'm also listening to music which does make it more difficult...

RogueMNerHidesUnderBigHat · 12/06/2021 22:21

Dammit.
I'm too drunk to recognise any of those

Honeyroar · 12/06/2021 22:21

The roundabout one is Penny Lane - the Beatles.
The kissing one is The Pet Shop Boys - being boring or something like that.

Fleamaker123 · 12/06/2021 22:22

1960s
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray

Beatles, Penny Lane

Dragonfly3 · 12/06/2021 22:22

Is that you again, comin' round for more?
Well, you can love me tonight if you want

Hot Legs Rod Stewart

Fleamaker123 · 12/06/2021 22:23

Pipped!

NeedToKnow101 · 12/06/2021 22:23

When he takes me in his arms
And whispers love to me
Everything's lovely
It's him for me and me for him
All our lives
And it's so real what I feel
This is why

I'm thinking of the 70s version

NeedToKnow101 · 12/06/2021 22:25

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax

70s with an emerging theme, including the previous one..

NeedToKnow101 · 12/06/2021 22:26

Each time I hear, ra da da da da
80s?

FlouncingBabooshka · 12/06/2021 22:27

There’s definitely one there you know Rogue.

One is easy - but old.
One’s an album track so unless you’re a fan of the artist it’s a tough one.
The other two I’d say are easy if you like the groups but not sort of massive, everyone would need these type hits.

On reflection, not the greatest return to the thread...

Fleamaker123 · 12/06/2021 22:27

Psycho killer, Talking Heads
A favourite ❤️

Manhattan transfer, chonton la rue 🤣🤣 I know that's wrong
NeedToKnow101 · 12/06/2021 22:28

One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Shows fear as he turns to hide
80s

FlouncingBabooshka · 12/06/2021 22:29

Oh blimey, I didn’t refresh before posting - well done Honey and Flea.

Penny Lane and Being Boring.

Still one there for you Rogue.
