Correct @shinynewapple22 well done xx

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 26/06/2022 22:15

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

Correct song title and artist @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes but not the correct theme.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 26/06/2022 22:40

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

Correct @dexterslockedintheshedagain xx

Is the theme green?

Sorry @ajumpeduppantryboy not green, though you were not far off.

CarnageAtTheAirport · 27/06/2022 03:10

Ok, so @shinynewapple22 gets 3 points for guessing the theme plus ‘bein’ green’ by Kermit the Frog and The Frog chorus by Paul McCartney as mentioned earlier 🐸

@dexterslockedintheshedagain gets 2 points for Halfway down the stairs by Robin the frog, who is Kermit’s nephew.🐸

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes gets 2 points for Prefab Sprout King of Rock and roll, the song mentions a jumping frog.🐸

Welll done guys 🙂🐸
Please can somebody amend the spreadsheet accordingly as I don’t know who is in possession of it ? Thank you 😘😘

All 70s, although some are covers from earlier hits

1.Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

2.I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
And now you're telling me all your lies

3.Prosecution you must fear
Win or lose you got to get your share
You've got you mind set on a dream

4.Oh baby give me one more chance

5.Why do birds suddenly appear?

6.Speaking words of wisdom

7.Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?

8.Ooo baby here I am

9.Absolutely nothing

10.You're a store-brought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin'

11.We are stardust

12.Only fools rush in

13.Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight

14.Well they took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum

15.She talks kinda lazy
People say she's crazy
And her life's a mystery

16.But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject

17.Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm goin' back to the place I love

18.I've never seen a sight that didn't seem better looking back

19.Smiling from her head to her feet

20.When you're weary, feeling small

21.Prepare yourself, you know it's a must
You gotta have a friend in Jesus

22.That night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms

23.When everything I do is wrong

24.You got women, you got women, on your mind

Happy holidays, peeps!
