Dexter - are the 70s ones yours ?

There are some songs on here that even I was too embarrassed to admit to liking Grin brilliant !

It's possible to copy across individual videos to 'save for later' do it becomes your own list on your individual 'you tube' so no identification and only you can see

Reposting, bit longer - three bands from the 80s I saw live as a teen:

A curious smell, an intangible crime
I'm washing my clothes, but the stain still grows

On the table, signs of love lies scattered
And the walls break, with a crashing within

We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 28/05/2021 22:17

On the table, signs of love lies scattered
And the walls break, with a crashing within

Might be Duran Duran?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 28/05/2021 22:17

Rogue, that playlist is awesome. YOU are awsome x

shinynewapple21 · 28/05/2021 22:17

A few more lyrics - very obvious theme !!

1
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
70s

'2
Cos honey when I get up close to you (close to you)
70

3
Here comes my happiness again
Right back to where it should have been
Cause now she's gone and I am free
And she can't do a thing to me
90s

4
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you want to do
60s

5
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
80s

6
They all want me
They can't have me
So they all come and dance beside me
90s

7

ba ba ba ba ba da ba ba ba ba da baba ....
watch out I think I like that groove
you can sing it
ba ba ba ba ba da ba ba ba ba da ba
it's lovely it's lovely it's lovely
I mean it ... ohhhhhhhhhhh
80s

Shiny, that is tech beyond me.

Everyone: guess who posted what???

Iggi999 · 28/05/2021 22:19

5 is Let's Dance, Bowie.

Right band Pantry, what's the song?

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 28/05/2021 22:20

Is it only me that has to stop the playlist to answer lyrics as I need to 'hear' the lyric to get the song?

You have to let that raga drop
