Oh thank you @bordermidgebite and @CoffeeBeansGalore- (head swells!) Sometimes I can quickly see the song, other times I don't have a clue, love this thread!

The singer/group in my first clue has been in the news too, also a connection between the two songs.

bordermidgebite · 13/01/2022 20:40

Let me know if you want clues for ; and 5

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 13/01/2022 20:55

Hello!

I have some to add to Midge’s theme…

One for last May:
Early 2000s

We'll be lookin' flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lotsa style, check my gold diamond rings

One for when that email got leaked:
80s

The alcohol loves you while turning you blue

BJ’s first instinct:
Early 2000s

Picture this, we were both butt-naked

Yesterday at PM’s Question Time:
70s

What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there?

Fleamaker123 · 13/01/2022 21:04

Hi Babooshka!

What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there?

Elton John, Sorry seems to be the hardest word

I've got some on the theme..

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn't find a way
