@CoffeeBeansGalore although it sounds like something an American would say, he's not, originally, American.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 18/01/2022 19:08

I can't blame you if you won't take me back
After everything I put you through

70s

Face to face Sadly solitude

80s

Rapture by Blondie But I always thought it was sightless solitude!

Correct Dex & Flea 👍😊

Correct @dexterslockedintheshedagain, well done!

Interesting, I've double checked the lyrics, some say sadly, some say sightless! So you are right!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 18/01/2022 19:38

Ain't got no money
And I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing (glowing, glowing, glowing, glowing, glowing)

Added the bit in brackets for extra clue!

Correct with ELO Flea Smile

I absolutely don't know yours goody/dudes

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 18/01/2022 20:10

@Rogue1001

I absolutely don't know yours goody/dudes
They are quite difficult @Rogue1001

Clue- he ain't got no money one, think of my previous and present usernames, might be the singer....!

The other one probably not so well known- the American singer was probably more well known as an actor in the 70s, along with his on screen partner......

Rogue1001 · 18/01/2022 20:14

That's David soul,Cohen?

Mott the hoople/adam and the ants????

Rogue1001 · 18/01/2022 20:14

Then, not Cohen 🤣🤣🤣🤣

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 18/01/2022 20:21

Correct with David Soul!
Not Mott or Adam!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 18/01/2022 20:22

Previous username.....

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 18/01/2022 20:23

Which David Soul song?

Rogue1001 · 18/01/2022 20:26

Ah. That was David bowie related, wasn't it?

Hmmm. I do like David bowie, but obviously not a big enough fan

No idea on David soul. I don't really know his stuff well enough

NeedToKnow101 · 18/01/2022 20:28

Don't give up on us baby by David Soul?

Is it Modern Love? Frankly I can't imagine Bowie singing about no money and no hair. Did I mention I've had a long day?

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Watch out *@NeedToKnow101* I think Rogue is after knocking you off the ladder again!
I'll have to get that restraining order reinstated
NeedToKnow101 · 18/01/2022 20:32

@Rogue1001

I think you and I might be about to fall out, needtoknow...
We can't fall out while you're ignoring me Rogue-y.
AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 18/01/2022 20:34

Correct @dexterslockedintheshedagain, well done! The lyrics are very strange when you actually read them!

Wrong David Soul song @NeedToKnow101, it's Silver Lady. Love this song actually!

Turnitupto11 · 19/01/2022 03:18

Argh, missed all these today! Which are outstanding now?

I've been mainly lurking, but I have some if that's ok:

  1. All the things you do to me
And everything you said 80s
  1. I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash 70s
  1. Somewhere in the distance
Hidden from view Suspended in the atmosphere Waiting to come through… 80s
  1. Such a drag to want something sometimes
One thing leads to another I know 80s
SimplySteveRedux · 19/01/2022 03:35

#1 would be Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough.
