Love plus one

Bryan ferry

And Was I wrong with Duran Duran then?

And the original artist for the point?
Rogue1001MNer · 20/02/2022 15:20

Some amazingly easy ones outstanding. You'll be kicking yourselves

Honeyroar · 20/02/2022 15:21

I remember don’t worry is Phil Collins In the Air Tonight

Honeyroar · 20/02/2022 15:23

I feel like I should know some others but they’re not jumping out.

The On the radio one keeps bringing that ska song into my head, but it’s not that.

Rogue1001MNer · 20/02/2022 15:39

Correct with Phil Collins.

You're right that the radio one isn't ska. It was HUGE and played to death throughout 80s and 90s.

There's a massive iconic one that I'm stunned is outstanding

shinynewapple22 · 20/02/2022 16:21

The original of jealous guy was John Lennon

shinynewapple22 · 20/02/2022 16:23

I'm stuck now without further lyrics !

Rogue1001MNer · 20/02/2022 16:26

And you may have a point for that, shiny.

Do you all want more lyrics?

Rogue1001MNer · 20/02/2022 16:59

More lyrics:-

In a semi-conscious state
I dream of people fighting me

Shame on you, you know who you are!!!!

Why don’t you come in?
I’ve got lots of space for everyone
Why don’t you, my friend?

this is hard

I’m bored

I don’t want to go to school

this one's quite easy, so I'm reluctant to give you more

O judge
O mum and dad
Mum and dad
Hi. I’m not home right now. But if you want to leave a
Message, just start talking at the the sound of the tone.
Hello? This is your Mother. Areyou you there? Are you
Coming home?
Hello? Is anybody home? Well, you don’t know me,
But I know you.
And I’ve got a message to give you.

Here come the planes.
So you better get ready. Ready to go. You can come
As you are, but pay as you go. Pay as you go

this is a hard one. The extra lyrics don’t really help. I’ll be amazed if anyone gets it without cheating, but you do all know the song. I believe you all do

I see the people happy
So can it happen for me?

One for our FlouncingB or possibly one of the newbies??? Either @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes or @Turnitupto11
I wouldn’t expect anyone other than a true fan to get this one. I probably wouldn’t get it

Cherry ice cream smile

Sounded sad upon the radio

I REFUSE to give more lyrics for either of those last two! They’re too easy and too iconic

Rogue1001MNer · 20/02/2022 17:01

Right, this is a bit embarrassing.... I can't remember what songs these lines come from. I will look them up and give you a bit more

Breaking through

Sweet nothing

Time is short

ANYONE who gives me a hard time for getting drunk/old/forgetful/any combination thereof will get all points wiped!

Rogue1001MNer · 20/02/2022 17:02

Here's a bonus lyric in compensation. Also 80s

Patti packed her bags, left a note for her mama, she was just seventeen

shinynewapple22 · 20/02/2022 17:05

The cherry ice cream one's not Girls on film is it? But there was already lyrics from that ......

Honeyroar · 20/02/2022 17:05

Is the I’m bored one Bow Wow Wow - I want Candy?

shinynewapple22 · 20/02/2022 17:06

There's a Donna Summer song
About On the radio ...... but I think it's a 70s song ...

mudgetastic · 20/02/2022 17:08

That’s come on Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners.

FlouncingBabooshka · 20/02/2022 17:10

Isn’t the cherry ice cream one Rio?

mudgetastic · 20/02/2022 17:10

Next line is
I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left blah blah right
You catch ...

shinynewapple22 · 20/02/2022 17:10

Oh yes it is ! Flouncing - well done !

Honeyroar · 20/02/2022 17:12

Your shame on you (Dex) semi conscious state one is Madness - Grey Day.

Honeyroar · 20/02/2022 17:18

I can’t believe I didn’t get Cherry ice cream smile. I saw it earlier but thought it had been guessed!
