Are you sure you didn’t make them up?? Or are we all very out of practice.
dexterslockedintheshedagain · 01/10/2021 20:32

Let me help:

1.Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night 80s GOT

  1. I could see it was a rough-cut Tuesday
Slow-motion weekdays stare me down Her lipstick reflex got me wound There were no defects to be found 80s CLUE: their gf was the centrefold
  1. I'm gonna tell your mama what you're gonna do
Come on out with your dancing shoes 70s CLUE: head banging group keeping all things equal
  1. Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies 70s GOT
  1. Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise next week, you know damn well I won't. 80s CLUE: Mr L and his information . Doing what he has to to survive
  1. Here, have a dollar
In fact, no brotherman here, have two Two dollars means a snack for me But it means a big deal to you… 90s CLUE: stoppage of growth
  1. Don't you know? Don't you know?
That it's wrong to take what is given you 70s CLUE: duo, one with blond hair the other dark curly hair and a tache
  1. We were standing all alone
You were leaning in to speak to me Acting like a mover shaker Dancing to Madonna then you kissed me…90s CLUE: vicious piece of vegetation by the house
  1. Back to back
Sacroiliac Spineless movement And a wild attack 80s CLUE: enthrall
  1. But just because a record has a groove Don't make it in the groove But you can tell right away at letter A When the people start to move 70s GOT.

Hall & Oates but I can't think of the song.

NeedToKnow101 · 01/10/2021 20:41

I think we're out of practice, yes.

Rogue1001 · 01/10/2021 20:51

Ah!

  1. Is j Giles band (sp???). Yes. I def got that vibe.
  1. Status quo. My subconscious must've known it cos I've had an earworm!
  1. Hall and oates????
  1. Poison ivy???? Or nasty wisteria? Bastatd clematis???
dexterslockedintheshedagain · 01/10/2021 20:52

Both right, but what are the songs?
Yes, we are all very out of practice!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 01/10/2021 20:53

2/3/7 correct-song names?
8 nope!

midgedude · 01/10/2021 21:13

Caroline says dh

Grumps ... if I'd kept my latest name change I'd have had nothing to lose

Then again

My points get wiped every week anyway

midgedude · 01/10/2021 21:15

Centrefold is the only one we can guess for 2

midgedude · 01/10/2021 21:17

Hewy Lewis and the news?

Who did power of love

And some other ones

midgedude · 01/10/2021 21:18

That was for number 5

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 01/10/2021 21:24

Not Caroline, but you're on the right lines
Yes to J Geils band, but they did have another song (don't know if it was a hit.
Yes to Huey Lewis but try again with the song. It's something most of us do

Rogue1001 · 01/10/2021 21:35

Masturbate??? -⬆️⬆️⬆️

Rogue1001 · 01/10/2021 21:37

Midge, perhaps suggest to your dh that if he wants to guess song lyrics, he could sign up to mn?????

In the meantime, you gain NO points for lyrics he guesses!

Fleamaker123 · 01/10/2021 21:39
