The unguessed one from the last ten is called Jump to the beat, but I don’t know who sang it (female voice).

Honeyroar · 18/06/2022 20:07

Oh and that’s 11 from this list! Doh! Only one that jumped out at me!😀😀

Honeyroar · 18/06/2022 20:17

No 2 is Hands up by Ottawa and no 7 is ABBA - One of us.

I feel like I should know some more, but can’t get them.

I think it was was Stacy Lattisaw (or something similar).

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 18/06/2022 21:41

Hi I'm struggling with these! Will take a guess, is one of them Sheena Easton?

IanOsenfrote · 19/06/2022 08:59

@dexterslockedintheshedagain Thats correct

@Rogue1001MNer Your guesses are also correct but what about the artist for No6?

@NeedToKnow101 Your guess is correct

IanOsenfrote · 19/06/2022 09:03

@Honeyroar All your guesses are correct

@CarnageAtTheAirport All your guesses are correct. It is indeed Stacey Lattisaw.

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes Good morning. Sorry, none are Sheena Easton.

Just 4, 5 and 10 to get.

Honeyroar · 19/06/2022 11:02

Could you add another line to them?

IanOsenfrote · 19/06/2022 11:29

@Honeyroar

The next lines of the songs are as follows

4 Playing near are far too many, time I should have known

5 Whisper the elixir then vanish in a blast

10 And I want to tell my daddy I'll be missing in action

Honeyroar · 19/06/2022 12:20

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.

Thanks. I’m just quoting this so we can see them together.

Hello all

Half way to the Weekend 😊

A few to keep you going -

YOU'D BETTER LIVE IN LOVE THAN LUXURY (IT'S ALL RIGHT)
AND DON'T GO DINING OUT ON FOOLISH DREAMS EVERY NIGHT

No, no, no,
You took my heart and turned me on
And now the danger sign is on
Never thought the day would come
When I would feel alone without you
70s

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
80s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/06/2022 13:52

We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
We thought about breaking up, now we know it's much too late
80s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/06/2022 13:53

Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right

You keep your distance via the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?
80s

IanOsenfrote · 22/06/2022 14:21

3 is Cyndi Lauper - Time after time

4 is Huey Lewis and The News - Stuck with you

5 is Johnny Hates Jazz - Shattered dreams

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/06/2022 14:32

Tears for fears, head over heels.

Rogue1001MNer · 22/06/2022 18:08

Not sure about no 2, which I think is the only outstanding one?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/06/2022 18:11

Correct to Tears for Fears Rogue 😊👍
