Pipped FB, sorry. Correct Shiny and you got the theme.
Bien fait ma petit choux!

I’ve decided I’m just going to repeat everything Shiny says from now on.

NeedToKnow101 · 12/06/2021 22:36

Shiny and FB you can both have that, feeling généreuse

🤣🤣🤣 I think that's for the best.

NeedToKnow101 · 12/06/2021 22:38

Still outstanding ...

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

A sense of expectation hangin' in the air
Givin' out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowin' in the dark

@StillCoughingandLaughing- I keep thinking Barbara Streisand, but I have no idea why!

Nope, not Barbra - but someone whose career has spanned a similar timeframe…

Tina Turner?

Correct! 😃 ‘I Don’t Wanna Fight’.
