Rogue1001MNer · 21/08/2022 12:04

Bonnie Tyler is Holding Out For a Hero, I think.

All correct artists, just need the songs.
Wrong song for U2.

Rogue1001MNer · 19/08/2022 09:58

My 3 correctly (and speedily) guessed.
Well done all. Points for everyone except dexter.

I've still got some outstanding from yesterday though.

@ParvuliThankYouDebbie congratulations to your daughter.
We usually post a few lyrics from songs, the images is something we've just been doing for a few days.
Is your jamiroqui?

Oops sorry, been so tied up with trying get DD Uni sorted (she’s going through clearing atm) forgot to come back! Not Jamiroquai. Sorry should have put some lyrics….

And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out

Oh those lyrics: Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead?

ParvuliThankYouDebbie · 21/08/2022 13:16

Thisnamesbetter · 21/08/2022 10:49

I don't think anyone has got my first one, I've added another screen shot from the music video.

Pride (in the name of love) - was an uber U2 fan back then, you can date the songs by Bono’s haircuts 😁

Yes, Fake Plastic Trees it is

Thisnamesbetter · 21/08/2022 13:18

I don't think anyone has got this one of mine yet (there is a clue in the red devil lady picture), I'll add some lyrics:

There's a fight right down the street
The betting shop has got him beat
He blew his money for the week

@ParvuliThankYouDebbie yes you've got it!
This is my favourite video of theirs.

ParvuliThankYouDebbie · 21/08/2022 13:27

Quick one before I work out if I’ve got to drive Dd to Cardiff tomorrow or not 😁

They arrived at an inconvenient time
I was hiding in a room in my mind
They made me look at myself, I saw it well

Sorry @Rogue1001MNer beat you to it with Rasputin.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 21/08/2022 14:24

My last comment, I don't think it is now I've looked at it again!!

Nope, not Dexys. I really thought the lyrics would give this one away.

🤔This is a tricky one.

Thisnamesbetter · 21/08/2022 14:30

No. 11

Am I being evil here, is this one too hard?

Thisnamesbetter · 21/08/2022 14:45

No. 12, Here's a lyric one:

Sorry if it's been done before, I haven't read the previous 36 threads.

I met a girl and she told me she loved me
I said you love me then love means you must like what I like
My music is dynamite, woh oh woh

I admit to cheating a bit 😂, asked DH about this- he said right away it's The Levellers- Hope Street.
