What are the chance of that?! It's almost as exciting as when we broke Mumsnet and got to 1001 posts on a previous thread. That was a night to remember Grin

It happens all the time on here. We call it being pipped (first to come up on the thread pips the other to the post..). It’s usually Rogue that gets pipped, but she’ll tell you otherwise (we think she might be related to BJ..). ((Now that she really will kill me for saying!!!🤣🤣))

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 13/01/2022 21:28

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

I have been waiting for you You know I will adore you 'til eternity

60s

Right you will all know this, will have heard the song in the news the last couple of days. Connection to the second song that @Fleamaker123 guessed correctly.
AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 13/01/2022 21:30

Will have to be quicker in future then!!

End of song 5

I think he knows what he wants ( repeat )
I think I know what you want (repeat )

bordermidgebite · 13/01/2022 21:39

Song 4

I believe there were lots of fish earlier in this thread ? They will know the answer

Honeyroar · 13/01/2022 21:41

Which is song 4/5 Midge? I can’t see any numbers.

bordermidgebite · 13/01/2022 21:50

@bordermidgebite

A theme !
  1. your pops caught you smoking and he says no way
    That hypocrite smokes 2 packs a day

  2. nobody knows where my Johnny had gone ( 60s or 80 )

  3. but when I woke up this morning
    Could've sworn it was judgement day

4)thank god they say
I'm punting I'm beagling I'm wining reclining I'm rucking I'm fucking
So welcome ..

  1. 80s possibly album not single track . Quite a hard line ( but apt )

When I was 3 I thought the world revolves around me
I was wrong

In here honey
Honeyroar · 13/01/2022 22:00

Thanks Midge. I think it’s U2 but I don’t know the name. “I know a girl who wants more than a party”? Party girl? Something like hat? I can hear it, but no idea what it’s called! My flatmate when I was 18 loved it.

Honeyroar · 13/01/2022 22:00

That was for number 5.

FlouncingBabooshka · 13/01/2022 22:02

Correct Fleamaker, Goodytwoshoes and Need2Know. Just the 80s one left…

bordermidgebite · 13/01/2022 22:25

Yes U2 party girl honey !

Honeyroar · 13/01/2022 22:42

Wahay! You really jogged a deeply buried memory there Midge. My flatmate was obsessed with U2. It was from one of their early albums- Boy or October or something.
