I need to go to bed!

No, but I love your reasoning. Male singer.

I don't want your money, honey.

I'm just so confused as to what's been got and what's not!

The money, got to to have it one is the Pet Shop Buys but can't for the life of me think of the title

@Rogue1001 it must be Billy Idol then, White Wedding?

"I don't want your money" that's Transvision Vamp! I want your love.

Honeyroar · 10/01/2022 10:09

Dancing with tears in my eyes was definitely Ultravox, not a solo, so deduct points from yourself Roguey!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 10/01/2022 13:29

This is still outstanding. You will kick yourselves . . .

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

Aww yes, it's the Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield- What have I done to deserve this.
AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 10/01/2022 13:56

@dexterslockedintheshedagain said the Pet Shop Boys first so they should get the points!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 10/01/2022 14:25

Correct Dex & Goody 👍😊

Harrumph. I've looked it up, and it appears you may be correct on this occasion. I would add that pointing this out gets you neither friends nor points

>Slaps Honey with a wet kipper to revive her from her state of shock, and places her gently in recovery position.>
Rogue1001 · 10/01/2022 20:09

perks up are we slapping each other with wet kippers now are we, are we? I'm up for that.

Pass me a kipper.

I'm happy to dish out points for it. Best slapping? Most furious slapping?

Honeyroar · 10/01/2022 21:58

How come you all have random wet kippers lying around?
(You obviously don’t have cats). Can I use a tin of tuna for my slaps?

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 10/01/2022 22:02

Correct @Fleamaker123!

Might smart a bit, but give it a go

Talking Heads- Psycho Killer

That's funny, I was going to use a Talking Heads song earlier!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 10/01/2022 22:06

Oh actually Psycho Killer was 70s, so maybe not.

Altered images. Not happy birthday.

What was their other hit?

No points for bargain basement kippers. Tinned salmon I'd consider
