The song is from 1980 and is by a female group who were quite big at the time.

Bananarama?

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/06/2022 13:36

Cruel Summer? Or could be the Go Go's.

@ConcernedSchoolStaff

No, sorry.

The song is from 1980, female band, all from the same family.

That just about gives it away, I think.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/06/2022 17:04

The Nolans?

IanOsenfrote · 08/06/2022 17:21

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

Correct with the group name. Are you going to take a stab at the song?

Note - All the songs I will post on here are from the top 10. No obscurities.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/06/2022 18:37

The only songs I can think of are I'm in the mood for dancing and Don't make waves?

IanOsenfrote · 08/06/2022 18:50

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

I'm surprised you don't remember 'Attention to me'

Anyway the correct song is 'Gotta pull myself together'. The lyrics are the first line of the second verse.

becausetrampslikeus · 08/06/2022 18:55

I am not surprised that I don't remember any Nolan songs !

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/06/2022 19:10

Aww I would never have got that!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/06/2022 19:15

@IanOsenfrote looked up Attention to me on YouTube, that song is familiar!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/06/2022 19:16

Anyway that was a great flurry, another decade of songs!

becausetrampslikeus · 08/06/2022 19:17

Indeed

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 09/06/2022 07:44

I actually DO remember that song now I listen to it. God, I feel old!!

CarnageAtTheAirport · 09/06/2022 08:08

Was it the Nolan’s? Wow, I didn’t recognise the lyrics.
They played I’m in the mood for dancing at our wedding reception, so every time I hear any of The Nolans songs, it brings back memories of the wedding.
Thats all though😁😁.
Definitely not a fan.

CarnageAtTheAirport · 09/06/2022 08:14

And yes, great flurry.

I was listening to BBC Radio Manchester yesterday at work, and they played Messages OMD, and Man with a child in his eyes Kate Bush.
I stopped typing and sat there listening to them.
BBC Radio Manchester plays some good ones like them that other radio stations don’t play.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 09/06/2022 09:16

@CarnageAtTheAirport in the house DH and I usually listen to Absolute 80s. Although I like Ken Bruce on Radio 2 in the morning and sometimes Jeremy Vine plays some 70s and 80s music in between all the talking. Like Gary Davies too when he is on the Radio 2.

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes I listen to Ken Bruce too, love radio 2, plus his popmaster quiz.
Yes to absolute radio 80s and 70s also 🎵.

@dexterslockedintheshedagain Ha ha, well it wasn’t me who invited them if they were😂😂.

We had an amazing DJ dressed as a spaceman who got everybody up, brilliant range of music

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 09/06/2022 22:19

I love Popmaster as well! Got over 20 points on both sets of questions today! 😀

IanOsenfrote · 10/06/2022 17:02

Hello everyone.

10 more for the weekend, all from 1980 and all made the top 10.

1 Holding you closer in my arms we drift to heaven bringing in the morning light

2 And I can only play that part and sit and nurse my broken heart

3 I want a doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well

4 Ivory Madonna dying in the dust

5 From nine to five I have to spend my time at work

6 Where she eats a tangerine, flicks through a magazine

7 Oh, I used to love to make you cry. It made me feel like a man inside

8 Emotions come, I don't know why, cover up love's alibi

9 I have known you for so very long, I feel you like a friend

10 You make the moves come alive, yet movements dance with fear

Good luck
