Okay on that that note, here is a little flurry. There is a theme …..

And they're coming 'round the track to haunt me
80s

I’m not at the bottom, I’m not at the top
70s.

But what’s the point on a beautiful night?
80s

Or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree
70s

'I’m not at the bottom, I’m not at the top'

That's Kermit the frog halfway up the stairs

…. But you’re close.

CarnageAtTheAirport · 26/06/2022 21:16

Tut tut come on guys, I though you’d have got the theme or at least one of the artists by now, seeing as one has already been mentioned…

Do you want some more time. Or are you jumping around wondering what they are?
One of you have been very close….

Rogue1001MNer · 26/06/2022 21:30

I just assumed I didn't know them, carnage.
Although some seem familiar

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 26/06/2022 22:15

The first one is Prefab Sprout, King of Rock and roll. Is the theme vegetables?

ajumpeduppantryboy · 26/06/2022 22:29

Is the theme green?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 26/06/2022 22:40

Wasn't Halfway up the Stairs Robin, Kermit nephew?!

NeedToKnow101 · 26/06/2022 23:30

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 26/06/2022 22:40

Yes I think you're right. I've made the Kermit mistake before. Damn you and your superior Muppet knowledge.

shinynewapple22 · 26/06/2022 23:33

"Or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree"

Think this one is 'being green' -
I thought that was by Kermit the frog ?

"But what’s the point on a beautiful night?"

That's familiar . Can't place it but I wondered if it comes from the Paul McCartney Frog chorus song you mentioned before ?

shinynewapple22 · 26/06/2022 23:37

Songs are all about frogs ?
