Human touch has just come into my head

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 05/01/2022 14:33

Correct @bordermidgebite.
It's only now as I'm older I appreciate his, ahem, many talents, had to watch the video of Human Touch twice there to remind myself! Wink Blush

You've got the butterflies all tied up Don't make me chase you

When doves cry, Prince
TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 05/01/2022 16:04

Both correct @Phos and @Fleamaker123.
Love both these songs.

You don't know how desperate I've become

Big in Japan?

I've missed loads.

Any others still outstanding?

Me too. In the 80s. In their heyday to boot.

Flea got it but I'd totally forgotten this song. Thanks for reminding me of it 💋
TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 05/01/2022 22:18

Correct @Rogue1001.

There are a couple of mine still outstanding, quite difficult ones I think.

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 05/01/2022 22:21

The first 2 I posted today are outstanding.

Is it John Waite? It’s making me think of Chicago, Hard Habit to Break.
Fleamaker123 · 06/01/2022 18:36

You've got me thinking now, Honeyroar! In my head I'm trying to sing Chicago but in John Waite's voice 😂

Honeyroar · 06/01/2022 20:08

I think you’re right and I’m wrong.

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 06/01/2022 20:33

Anyone have a guess at mine?
Clues- both Scottish bands, early 80s. Both lead singers have quite distinctive voices I think.

Honeyroar · 06/01/2022 21:26

Can you tag them again please?

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 06/01/2022 22:27

@TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky

Don't turn around I won't have to look at you And what's not found Is all that I see in you

80s

Clue- very distinctive vocals
TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 06/01/2022 22:28

@TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky

Since that gaze Roaring by went her days When her whispering died, she cried Never wants to recover, she cried

80s

Another early 80s band.
Fabvegetablegrower · 06/01/2022 23:25

@TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky. Since that gaze is from Don't talk to me about love by Altered Images. Took me ages to work it out.

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 06/01/2022 23:39

@Fabvegetablegrower correct, well done.
