Correct Rogue. My record was Adamski not Seal, so I’m sticking with him!

@Honeyroar

We wanna be free To do what we wanna do (90s)
And we want to get loaded.

Primal Scream.

That was the next line. I think the song is called Loaded. It's from Screamadelica! I've seen them perform this album. I might have temporarily forgotten the title, but i deffo get the points!

Honeyroar · 06/03/2022 00:11

For Steve? I can’t remember why? But I was having fun. Wonder if he’s around under a new name yet?

Correct everyone so far.

Prance and flutter stride down that green escalator, yeah
Fantastic Day by Haircut 100 got by fankifankapants

I thought you loved me, but it seems you don’t care
Honey guessed don’t you want me by the Human League, but this was incorrect. Fankifankapants knew it was Poison Arrow by ABC

Drinks are free
Club Tropicana guessed by midge-mug, very closely followed by shiny, who said it was Wham!

Every night you stay
I’ll Be Watching You, The Police, got by Honey

And did you think this fool can never win?

Look at our life now
All tattered and torn

Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
China Girl, David Bowie, got by Turnitup (who DEFINITELY should have been in bed and asleep!)

Ooo try a little harder
Too Shy, Kajagoogoo, got by Turnitup (can’t believe STILL awake!)

For I’m the type of boy who's always on the roam.
Wherever I lay my hat, Paul Young, got by Turnitup (does this person never sleep????)

The kid is not my son
Billie Jean, Michael Jackson, got by Turnitup, who is obviously on drugs!

First when there's nothing
Irene Cara, What a feeling, can’t think who guessed this one at 2 am

Tears from your little sister
Paul Young, Common People, got by turnitup, who is more dedicated than the rest of you lot, as is reflected in the spreadsheet.

I met a strange lady
Down Under, Men at Work, got by turnitup, who I’m quite scared by at this point. Vampire, zombie or menopause?????

A little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Bonnie Tyler, Total Eclipse. I wonder who got that at 2am?????

Once you get started you can't sit down
All Night Long, Lionel Ritchie, got by shiny

But it's too late to hesitate
Temptation, Heaven 17, got by N2K

Maybe I should leave you, but I don't know how
They Don’t Know, Tracy Ulman and Kirsty McColl got by shiny. Shiny thought Kirsty wrote it. I haven’t looked it up, but I don’t think that’s right. I think it’s a 60s cover. Need to check for the points. But you do a point for Move Over Darling, which I didn’t post!

Maybe next year, maybe don't know
The Reflex, Duran Duran, got by Honey.

Like a ghost in my dream

Rogue1001MNer · 06/03/2022 01:20

Can I say just how pissed off I am....

I have been watching late night C5 80s music shows for over a year (they keep recycling the same progs with a slightly different theme)
And I've been getting away with it, and ASTOUNDING you all with my fabulous lyrics.
And now I'm busted!

So, so, sooooo annoying!

mudgetastic · 06/03/2022 07:44

Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be un-true
Oh baby let's let's stay together
Loving you ever ever times are good or bad happy or sad

Let's stay together

No idea who sings it

Captainherasyndulla01 · 06/03/2022 09:06

I think that was Al Green.

Honeyroar · 06/03/2022 10:50

Correct Rogue for Elton John and Hot Chocolate. Correct for Happy Mondays Fabian but title missing (being harsh because I can’t remember at the mo!)

fanifanakapants · 06/03/2022 11:14

Haha it’s on the tip of my tongue!
