Evening.

No theme just, you know, songs…

60s original then several covers
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear

70s
I can't stop running to you
I feel love coming through you

70s
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels

80s
Only the fools blew it

80
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters

90s
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

90s
We'd like to go to town but we can't risk it

Rogue1001 · 19/01/2022 19:59

Wild world, cat stevens

Aswad?? Ooh baby it's a wild world (or something like that!)

Rogue1001 · 19/01/2022 20:00

Grrr flea
The verve. The drugs don't work

FlouncingBabooshka · 19/01/2022 20:01

I’ve been out of the game too long. I think I once won a (dubious) award for the poster of the hardest lyrics. These ones are clearly too easy for you - you’re all very quick.

Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind 70s
Rock the boat Some by Hughes corporation in 70s. And a cover in 80s don't remember who

Correct bluesheep, although I put it on for turnitup
shinynewapple22 · 19/01/2022 20:03

Car in a bag is the verve

Drugs don't work ?

Rogue1001 · 19/01/2022 20:03

Correct shiny.

Love that song. Anyone watched derry girls? It was part of a very funny episode

Rogue1001 · 19/01/2022 20:04

Got that several posts ago, shiny

FlouncingBabooshka · 19/01/2022 20:04

Yes Flea it’s Wild World - Rogue got it first though and the original artist, Cat Stevens (though she didn’t say which one she was guessing so technically…)
