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

I did that with Adele’s baby when she was a passenger. I asked her what her baby was called. She said Angelo but I thought she said Angela. I stood there looking at this big butch baby dressed in blue waving a train at me, thinking that can’t be right! Had to call him gorgeous/darling for the rest of the flight to be safe!

Bet your mum singing that to your sister drove her crazy!

Isn’t the Blondie one Call Me?
(Id never have guessed it without the artist being guessed - and yes we should have known it!!)

@dexterslockedintheshedagain

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

Honey needs to do that too 🤣🤣🤣

@anothersmahedmug

Yes turn it up

I keep seeing turnip

So did I, til I spotted the spinal tap reference

@Honeyroar

Isn’t the Blondie one Call Me? (Id never have guessed it without the artist being guessed - and yes we should have known it!!)

There are two blondie ones. Atomic and, yes, call me

The video for happy house is very good (or, I thought it was when I watched it last night after a lot of 🍷)
Recommend a Google

I thought I had read the thread!🤷🏽

She couldn't have made a worse move
Babooshka, Kate Bush guessed by Honey and then by Iggi

We're happy here
Happy House, guessed by midge-mug, Siousxsie and the Banshees guessed by Honey

Sure to go to heaven
My Perfect Cousin, the Undertones, guessed by Iggi

I'll make you magnificent
Atomic, Blondie guessed by turnitup

I know who you are
Call me, Blondie guessed by Honey

Last few outstanding:

1. Running from strangers

1. Turn to the left

(you REALLY should have got this one!)

1. No I'm not bein' flash

It's what I was built to do

1. C'mon

1. Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel

Have a go with these as they are and while you're doing that, I'll add more lyrics for those who just can't get them

Cha cha slide?

I missed all these! No one has guessed my outstanding either! I'll add more lines.

Argh

It's not this one

You move it to the left

But you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names like
New Orleans, New Orleans

Running from strangers
See you in the valley

War upon war
the space is because it's a new verse

Turn to the left
Can’t add lyrics immediately before or after, but from elsewhere in the song
Beep-beep
I can add other lyrics from elsewhere in the song if you need it. But, frankly, I’m ashamed of all of you

The fighter that won
But now just look at me
'Cause I'm looking down at you
No I'm not bein' flash
It's what I was built to do
I love this song, but I probably wouldn’t have got it either. I don’t really know the lyrics. I like this song because of the sound

C'mon
From later in the song:
It’s time to come together
(anything else would just give it away instantly)

I’m a man who’s been hurt a little too much
And I’ve tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel
You really should have got this one, guys

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

But you might find it anyway Under one of those old familiar names like New Orleans, New Orleans

Is this Livin' in America? James Brown

The fighter that won
But now just look at me
'Cause I'm looking down at you
No I'm not bein' flash
It's what I was built to do

Dexy's Midnight Runners - Geno

Celebration, Kool and the Gang

The song with beep-beep in is David Bowie fashion .

Yes correct @Rogue1001MNer!

Correct frankie, dexter and shiny

Do you want (yet more) lyrics for the first one. To be clear, it's not a band I like, but you regulars often put their lyrics up.
I'll do more for the last one too

shakes head disappointedly

I hope noone thinks they're getting points for these

I'm the living result
I'm a man who's been hurt a little too much
And I've tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel

Simple though love is
Still it confused me
Why I'm not loved the way I should be
Now I've lived with heartaches
And I've roomed with fear
I've dealt with despair
And I've wrestled with tears

Soldier is turning
See him through white light
Running from strangers
See you in the valley

War upon war
Heat upon heat

Then, later in the song:-

Standing in the dark
Oh, I was waiting for man to come
I am beautiful and clean
And so very very young
To be standing in the street
To be taken by someone

Questions questions
Give me no answers
That's all they ever give me
Questions questions

I think this is probably their best song (but for me, it's a low bar)

Oh the last one is spandau ballet

Yes it’s To cut a long story short.
