Some people might say my life is in a rut

70s

[Rogue1001]

Correct with both honey

The Jam - either Going underground or That’s entertainment? I can hear the voice/music but not the lyrics. I never liked them enough to know one from the other.

[shinynewapple21]

I think it's going under ground

[Rogue1001]

It is, shiny.

@Rogue1001

Come up off your colour chart

70s

Shame on all of you for not getting this one

[Honeyroar]

Blondie! Call me.
I never even noticed that one.

[TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky]

@TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky

I know that my emotions
Are somethin' you just can't see
I just got to have ya, baby

70s, covered in the 80s

And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are somethin you just can't tame
I just got to have ya, baby

Sorry made a mistake with a word

Therefore a clue- Iconic female singer songwriter, song was covered in the 80s.

[Rogue1001]

Omg! I should have got this! Many years ago my DD was in a show that sung this.
It's carole King. I feel the earth move.
I don't know the 80s cover though. Who murdered it?

Honey, no points for your lack of observation

Well done @Rogue1001! Yes was covered by Martika in the 80s. Think she also sang a song written by Prince.

Love Carole King, the songs she has written since about the early 60s are outstanding, maybe even the late 50s, need to check.

[AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes]

Hi its There's A Starman here thought I'd better change my username in case whoever bought the rights to David Bowie's music tried to sue me!

Does anyone get any of the outstanding ones, I thought one was Walking in Memphis but now I'm not sure?

[Rogue1001]

The man on the wireless cries again

80s


I let you go for so long

80s


The opening note of the first song came on the radio. I thought it was the second song, which is now playing Freaky!
I am parked up btw!

[Rogue1001]

Fab new mash up name, Dudes.

If you've got unguessed lyrics then repost them or they get lost

[AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes]

@Happylittlethoughts

Ummm, may have got a little over excited there and posted from an album and it wasn't a mainstream track 😳🤣 Sorry it was in my head recently.
This was definitely a chart track:
"And I've been waiting up by the window
Watching these cars go by
And I tell myself that I'll go through the motions
For the last time tonight"

Thank you Rogue!

It was this one by @Happylittlethoughts

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Happy Friday everyone!

1.
I come here looking for money
Got to have it
And end up leaving with love, oh, oh
Now you've left me with nothing

Think also this one by @CoffeeBeansGalore

Can't think what they are @Rogue1001.

[Honeyroar]

The first one is Ultravox - Vienna

[Rogue1001]

Nul points, but close

[Rogue1001]

I'm so sorry @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes, (may I call you Dudes? I'm not finding another nn in your un. Unless you'd like to be called Young or Goody???)
I thought it was your own lyrics that were outstanding. Poster reposts

I still don't know 'em

[AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes]

Dudes is fine Rogue!

Sorry about reposting these, thought they hadn't been guessed.

[Honeyroar]

Oh! Doh it’s Dancing with tears in my eyes.

[Honeyroar]

Can you give a bit more of the second one that sounds the same at the start?

[Rogue1001]

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

Dudes is fine Rogue!

Sorry about reposting these, thought they hadn't been guessed.

I liked Starman 😭
But dudes is a cool name.

I don't think they had been guessed, but it's the postee's responsibility to repost.
Points are at stake.
I have a spreadsheet.
This is serious stuff!

[Rogue1001]

@Honeyroar

Oh! Doh it’s Dancing with tears in my eyes.

Correct. And I think it's midge ure solo, not ultravox? Hence the lack of points.

[Rogue1001]

No.
There are VERY few lyrics in this song.

Go peroxide and pout and you'll get there
