You are correct midge-mug for 1/2 point.

@Honeyroar now the song has been named can you get the group/singer?

I rather thought this one had your name on it!

Rogue1001MNer · 29/01/2022 18:23

X-post 🤣🤣🤣

Honeyroar · 29/01/2022 18:24

🤣🤣🤣
(I never liked them that much though)

Rogue1001MNer · 29/01/2022 18:28

You often get their lyrics, though

Turnitupto11 · 29/01/2022 18:33

@Rogue1001MNer

oooops. Forgot to come back and update.

From my monster flurry last night (and also waves to turnitup as clearly a fellow night owl)

These ones all got:-

Don't think me unkind
The Police, Doo Doo Doo, Da Da Da, guessed by turnitup

Cos somewhere in the crowd there's you
Super Trooper, Abba guessed by turnitup

I'm happy. Hope you're happy too
Ashes to Ashes, David Bowie guessed by turnitup

Gonna use my fingers
Pretenders, Brass in Pocket guessed by turnitup

And I'm so happy and you're so kind
Going Underground, the Jam guessed by turnitup

Lottie plays with jane
Games Without Frontiers, Peter Gabriel, guessed by turnitup

I don't want to talk
Through the things we've gone through
Abba, The Winner Takes It All, guessed by turnitup

And another one gone
Another One Bites The Dust, Queen, guessed by turnitup

My head is in a spin, my feet don't touch the ground
Kellie Marie, Feels Like I’m In Love, guessed by turnitup

But he didn't have the money for a guitar
Army dreamers Kate Bush, guessed by turnitup.
Ooooo @turnitupto11 are you a KB fan? FB and I both are too. We both saw her when she did the run in Hammersmith a few years ago (not together, we haven’t met. We just discovered this on an earlier thread)

I'm in the mood, babe
I’m In The Mood For Dancing, The Nolans, guessed by Coffee. Which is quite a relief because I was beginning to think it was only me and turnitup on the thread!

You cheat, you lie
Cry, Godley and Cream, guessed by Needtoknow

8.15 and that's the time that it's always been
OMD, Enola Gay, guessed by shiny

It's just gone noon
Night Boat to Cairo, guessed by Dexter for a bonus point

Love will never leave us alone
Could you be loved, Bob Marley guessed by Honey

I'm definitely a night owl! @Rogue1001MNer. Grin

Love Kate Bush, although OH's the expert. I can still remember seeing Wuthering Heights on TOTP and being blown away! Also incidentally in the living room of my neighbour, who I was going on a date with for the first - and last - time, he was a lot older than me, I was 14 or 15, not sure what my parents were thinking Hmm .

I'll watch out for you next Friday night Grin

Turnitupto11 · 29/01/2022 18:37

I'm ashamed I didn't get Baboushka too Blush but to be fair it was very late and I was flagging.

anothersmahedmug · 29/01/2022 18:37

So I am getting unhelpful ear worms

Hiding from every stranger

And

Make it magnificent

Rogue1001MNer · 29/01/2022 18:43

Midge-mug, I can't immediately think what the first one is Blush
It sounds like Angelo, but definitely isn't

You should get the second one.
You ALL should v v v well known

Rogue1001MNer · 29/01/2022 18:44

We like a KB fan on here, don't we @FlouncingBabooshka

anothersmahedmug · 29/01/2022 18:50

Isn't it rogue ?????!!!!

Rogue1001MNer · 29/01/2022 18:55

Definitely, definitely not Angelo.
Which brittney desperately wants to change to angela 🤣

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 29/01/2022 19:56

That'll learn me to read the thread before I post!

Honeyroar · 29/01/2022 19:57

@anothersmahedmug

Angelo - Brotherhood of man!

We're happy here in the happy house

No idea who is singing that though

I remember my mum singing that to my sister when she was having one of her moods
