Correct pantry. Sadly you have robbed everyone of points.

How disappointing

All the points to me - please update the spreadsheet accordingly!

9 is Kylie - better the devil, I think

I used to like Take That back in their cheesy early days, and Murk the midget comes from these parts, so they’re adored around here. But they bug the hell out of me nowadays. We had Rule the World for our first dance because we loved the film Starlight (if you haven’t seen it do, it was so funny), and the DJ assumed I was a take that fan and played loads.

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 27/06/2021 21:14

Still outstanding

  1. Hanging off the curb, looking all disturbed
80s
  1. Babe, I know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for a higher ground
'Cause when you're half-way up, you're always half-way down 90s
  1. Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh
Are you just having fun? Time's standing still I wait for some small clue 80s I think this one’s hard! On standby to give extra lyrics.
  1. Our love wasn't perfect, I know
I think I know the score You say you love me, oh boy I can't ask for more 90s
  1. Our dreams are young and we both know
    They'll take us where we want to go
    Hold me now, touch me now
    I don't want to live without you
    80s for 2 artists I think and then a hit again in the 00’s. Can you name them all? The song is woeful in each version!
    xsquared got Glen Madeiros, but 2 artists also had hits with it.

  2. He came to town like a midwinter storm
    He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
    90s It IS Cotton Eye Joe, but Bonus points if you know where the group are from and indeed, the name of the group.

  3. I took a crazy chance
    80s

  4. Girl think about it before you leave
    90s. Ooooo. This is hard too.
