Hi Carnage I can't sleep either. Going to try now 😴😴😴😴
@NeedToKnow101, hope you managed to get some sleep 💤💤

I managed to fall asleep after my last post, and miraculously didn’t hear dh get up this morning.

Shiny's is Elvis Costello - Good Year for the roses

Here's an 80s one

I can't believe, you could just turn and leave
Did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 19/06/2021 17:38

Sorry Carnage - missed you getting the Costello one

Grin Zzzzzz...
RogueMNerHidesUnderBigHat · 19/06/2021 18:42

A mini flurry with a theme relevant to me which won't make sense...

If you think that I don't know about the little trick you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
60s

Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies
70s, but later covers too

Life is demanding without understanding
90s

And finally, the most stunningly beautiful song:-
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
60s

2 is I can see clearly now - can't recall the singer

midgemagneto · 19/06/2021 18:54

Commodores says dh

And a heavy metal version ???

midgemagneto · 19/06/2021 18:55

No... my singing at fault !!!!

midgemagneto · 19/06/2021 18:57

He was hearing

I know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain

Very apt given my singing

Shame on you pantry. Nul points because the singer is super cool and deserves to be remembered

Dh is wrong, midge and all your points are wiped for cheating

Phew. Too many points is known health risk

midgemagneto · 19/06/2021 19:01

Now for that I was hearing

It's an occupation, it's a dancing nation
We keep the pressure on every night

At this rate, midge, you'll live to be a hundred!
midgemagneto · 19/06/2021 19:06

Huh ... And should stop doing ones you can guess

Ace of Base - The Sign

Correct Steve.

Is that the full title though? You won't get my theme from that

midgemagneto · 19/06/2021 19:07

Just off short walk

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
It is it something worse

Rogue, your theme from the ones guessed is about seeing things?

Correct coffe. Please accept 50 shining points.

I picked up new glasses today.

Dh has failed to notice this OR the withering death stares I keep sending his way
