Yes midge.

Are you questioning me, honey???

Ooh, lovely work Rogue!
1 is Young at heart, don't know the band though!
3 is the Simple Minds, don't you forget about me
5 is Last to Know by Del Amitri
12 is Bye bye baby by the Bay City Rollers

Not knowing Primal Scream are Scottish, Bobby Gillespie still sounds as Glaswegian as anything! 😂.
Great themes @Rogue1001MNer although was slightly concerned at the ill health one, hope everyone is well.
Any outstanding?

Ooh Young at Heart - think it wasThe Bluebells.

No I’m not questioning you, just wittering. Why would you think that? (now I am)

Sorry, Iggi, those have already been got

There are still some outstanding though. Give me a sec.

I've got covid, goody, but only mildly. Hence giving the time to post cos I'm off work

Deducting points as we speak honey

Why?
What for?
Who do you think you are?
(There’s a lyric in there)

questioning the lyric provider!

still outstanding.

Forget the numbers

These two outstanding

I think they're the only ones

This disease is catching
from victory to stone
70s

And the world comes tumbling down
80s

More lyrics?

Sorry to hear that @Rogue1001MNer , get well soon.

It's just a cold, really, but they don't want me in work when I'm symptom-y

I'm guzzling lemsip and posting lyrics for your delectation

The lyrics have been great! I need to think of a theme and post some.

What adds up the way it did when we were young?

80's

Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see

80's

Say hello, wave goodbye
Soft cell
And a fabulous cover by David Grey

crack on!

The two ungot ones from yesterday with more lyrics. One of them slightly has Pantry's name on, I feel, but she's not been on here.

but who can define
why soldiers go marching
those amsses a line
This disease is catching
from victory to stone
70s

Hey honey what you trying to say
As I stand here
Don't you walk away
And the world comes tumbling down
80s

And following on from yesterday, guess the theme as well as the lyrics...

1. Stop doing what you
   Keep doing it to
   90s

2. (Turn around)
   80s, apparently, I’d have said 70s, but what do I know!

3. Got the waiting cab stopped at the red light
   00s

4)It is the flag that we fly so high
For every day they'll try and drag us down (drag us down and down)
I cry with anger I have done no crime, no
(Yeah, yeah)
80s

5. I wish I had a bottle
   Right here in my dirty face
   90s

6. She stood there laughing
   I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
   60s

7. Now he trembles in the darkness
   When the lightning walks about.
   80s, but earlier covers

8. We're swimming in the frozen sky
   We're drifting over icy
   Mountain floating by
   80s

9. I don't know what you do
   But you do it well
   I'm under your spell
   00s

10. Good lookin' so refined
    Say, wouldn't you like to know what's goin' on in my mind?
    60s (one for Dex)

11. She's flying in the face of fashion yea
    She seems to have it all chromed
    80s

12. Its a fact music makes you violent,
    Like Michael Jackson telling little Timmy to be silent,
    You don't believe me? here's my hype,
    Offer me the record and i'll show you the type,
    Of criminal this rap shit is breedin,
    Its a fact that MC Hammer left me bleedin,
    Vanilla Ice made my mother say 'Fuck',
    If I stuck with UB40 then I woulda been in luck,
    But I didn't I got it wrong,
    00s. Be amazed if you get this one, but they were fab live. Very funny.

2 is Bonnie Tyler - total eclipse of the heart

5 is Manic Street Preachers - design for life

6 Tom Jones - Delilah

Is this a Welsh theme?

1 Catalonia

Mulder and scully

Oops code returned something - need to work again

Number 10 is Shirley Bassey - is it hey big spender ?

4 68 Guns the alarm ?

Number 3 is stereophonics - have a nice day

Oh! Is number 8 walking in the air? Alec Jones ?

Oooo. Get you two, cleaning up.

All correct, although who is Alec Jones????

4 lyrics still outstanding?

I can see the numbering when awry. Sorry 'bout that. Since the replatforming, MN does things with auto numbering which are very annoying.

The one that are numbered 6, 8, 10 and 11 (but are actually the 7th, 9th, 11th and 12th as they appear).
Plus the two from yesterday.

I'm going to try and go back to work tomorrow, but in a fit of generosity, I might prepare some more for the working contingent to do this evening. Might.
