Honey, just noticed my abominable brittney with islands in the stream.

Have 5 points for getting it and 50 for not being rude to me about it

Honeyroar · 23/07/2021 20:23

😮

Is the Kiss the morning one Woman in Love? Diana Ross?

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 20:31

Right song, wrong singer.

Considerably less beautiful than Diana Ross

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/07/2021 20:41

Didn't Barbara Streisand do Woman in Love?

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Didn't Barbara Streisand do Woman in Love?
She did, and I would argue that, in the right light, the right year, and at the right angle she was beautiful. Not attractive, but beautiful.
CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/07/2021 20:46

The "we can't steal it" one

Stayin Alive?
Bee gees?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 23/07/2021 20:46

The 'I solve my problems' one is Grease - Frankie Vallie

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 21:03

Yes to Barbara, yes to grease.

Wrong song, coffe. Not stayin' alive.

Theme?

Theme?

Theme???

Either or both

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 23/07/2021 21:16

70's musical films?

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 21:25

Not sure which theme you're going for there dexter.

But wrong on both

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/07/2021 21:27

If not Stayin alive is it Night Fever?

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/07/2021 21:33

Need a clue Roguey. Theme is not jumping out at anyone.
Only thing I can think of is it is now school holidays & it's hot. But that's not really a theme . . .

OP posts:
RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 21:43

Yes. Night fever

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 21:45

Xsquared nearly got the first theme, but posted a bit prematurely cos I was still putting lyrics up.

The second theme is sooooo easy. I even said it was a tribute to pantry

CarnageAtTheSummerFete · 23/07/2021 22:13

And if I lose you now, I think I would die

The Bee Gees (or Tavares)- more than a woman
Evening all 😘😘😘😘😘

CarnageAtTheSummerFete · 23/07/2021 22:15

The Bee Gees is the theme, either by singing or written songs for other artists.

CarnageAtTheSummerFete · 23/07/2021 22:16

Writing, not written.

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy

Bit more to help you with the last two
  1. "I don't want charity, just half a chance
    And it's all up to you, yes it's all up to you"
    80s

  2. I saw you walking by the other day
    I know that you saw me, you turned away
    And I was lost
    You see, I've never loved no one as much as you
    I've fooled around but tell me now just who is hurtin' who?
    80s

The saw you walking by the other day was Jim Diamond- I should have k known better . Sorry if anybody else has got it before me. Quite likely that everything I’ve said has already been said upthread anyway ⬆️ 😀😀. Evening all 😘😘😘

Thank goodness for carnage.

I was thinking no one would get it.

Please accept a point. Have 2

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 22:35

@RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat

Mini theme in honour of pantry. All 80s
  1. If I, I get to know your name
  1. So cruelly you kissed me
  1. Using my power
I sell it by the hour
  1. All wrapped up the same.
  1. If only you would see me
One more time and maybe Some day you will find That you could really love me
Carnage.

And ridiculously easy theme
