We are flying out mid to late August @Rogue1001MNer
Have a fab time wherever you are going, hope all goes smoothly with flights etc.
Why are you bricking it? Is it what’s happening with flights being cancelled, or are you bricking it for another reason ?

13 is The Kinks Lola

Um. I think all guesses correct. Points all round, except for coffee who has points deducted for not being familiar with big yellow taxi.

I'll have to check, but I think you're all correct

Some still unguessed.

Do you want more lyrics for those ones?

Why are you bricking it? Is it what’s happening with flights being cancelled, or are you bricking it for another reason ?
I'm a bit nervous to fly, but it's more (as your name says) the carnage at the airports atm. I'm imagining 2 weeks at Gatwick atm.

Same here with Manchester. It was shocking seeing the queues on the TV a few weeks back.

Fingers crossed they don’t cancel us, or you of course🤞

Well I missed this burst but I think no one has got

War ...what is it good for

Done by loads of people I know the Springsteen version .

Had it down as a seagar original but it seems now

Of course it is Midge - all I was getting was 'what have you done for me lately oooh. Ooh. Ooh '

Was it Edwin Starr?

Just come back on to say number 18 is 'I was born under a wanderin' star' I think by Lee Marvin

Knew it would come to me

For worried holiday people - DS flew recently out of Birmingham and had no problems either in or out - although it was pre-school hols and they only had carry on luggage.

Good to hear @shinynewapple22, thank you. Where did your DS go? I hope he had a great time ✈️

Carnage - they went to Alicante - one of his friends' family own a villa near there and a group of them went over. Yes - they had a good time thank you .!

Hello all!

Has it been said Big Yellow Taxi is by Joni Mitchell?

Anything outstanding?

Hi All

Finger's crossed for ALL of us flying this summer.

Let me go through and see what's been got and what's outstanding....

Got-
1.Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Chile, got in an uncool way by N2K

5.Why do birds suddenly appear?
Close to You, The Carpenters, got by Carnage

6.Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be, got by Dexter

10.You're a store-brought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin'
Cracklin’ Rosie, Neil Diamond. Got by Shiny

11.We are stardust
Woodstock, Matthews Southern Comfort, got by Carnage

12.Only fools rush in
Elvis (and others), Can’t Help Falling in Love (with you) got by Coffee.
This was actually the Andy Williams version, because Elvis’s hit was 60s

13.Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
Lola, The Kinks, got by Shiny.

14.Well they took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
Big Yellow Taxi got by Coffee. GoodyTwoShoes knew it was Joni Mitchell

15.She talks kinda lazy
People say she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes, got by Shiny. But who sang it?

16.But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject
Tears of a Clown, Smokey Robinson, got by Carnage

18.I've never seen a sight that didn't seem better looking back
Wandering Star, Lee Marvin.
Impressively got by Shiny.

19.Smiling from her head to her feet
All Right Now, Free. Got by Dexter

20.When you're weary, feeling small
Bridge over troubled water, Simon & Garfunkel, got by Dexter

21.Prepare yourself, you know it's a must
You gotta have a friend in Jesus
Spirit in the Sky, Norman Greenbaum/Dr and the Medics. Got by Dexter.

22.That night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms
Band of Gold, Freda Payne. Got by Dexter

24.You got women, you got women, on your mind
In the Summertime, got by Dexter. Sung by Mungo Jerry, which Shiny knew.

Still ungot.
Still all 70s.

More lyrics?

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

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

8.Ooo baby here I am

9.Absolutely nothing
War, what is is good for, got by Midge, but not the SEMINAL singer. Who was????

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
Yellow River, got by Shiny, but who sang it?

23.When everything I do is wrong

8 is signed sealed delivered I'm yours
Aretha ????

9.Absolutely nothing
War, what is is good for, got by Midge, but not the SEMINAL singer. Who was????

I think it's Edwin Starr

I feel I know a couple, might need more clues!
