No 2 so lonely - The Police
Thats a memory from school when Sue Lawley used to present something or other, so we all used to sing Sue Lawley instead of So Lonely.

CarnageAtTheAirport · 10/06/2022 17:47

Oops sorry No4 is food for thought UB40

Sorry, I meant Sue Lawley was a TV presenter on some topical programme or other.

IanOsenfrote · 10/06/2022 18:38

Hi if 7 is Working my way back to you- The Detroit Spinners, originally sang by The Four Seasons?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 11/06/2022 08:21

8 is Call me, Blondie

IanOsenfrote · 11/06/2022 09:23

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes and @dexterslockedintheshedagain

Both your guesses are correct.

Just 6, 9 and 10 to guess.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 11/06/2022 10:30

6 Where she eats a tangerine, flicks through a magazine

Sheena Easton, Modern Girl

IanOsenfrote · 11/06/2022 10:49

Another correct guess for @dexterslockedintheshedagain

Just 9 and 10 to guess.

CarnageAtTheAirport · 11/06/2022 11:25

I havent cheated, I’m lucky to have just been playing Genesis and n9 lyrics jumped out.

Number 9. Turn it on again - Genesis.

IanOsenfrote · 18/06/2022 10:54

Another 10 for the weekend, this time all from 1981 and all made the top 10. Number 11 is the one from 1980 that nobody guessed.

1 I believe in truth, though I lie a lot.

2 With your head up in the sky every day you're walking by

3 Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor

4 Never thought I'd have a worry or need to be alone

5 It can lift you to the heavens, put your troubles in the past

6 You'd like another dance but you're scared you'll have a stroke

7 Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving

8 In a moments anger I will freeze the frame

9 Laughing all the time this is the life for me

10 I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction

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

Good luck everyone.

  1. Live action, Human League
