Isn't 5 lady in red by any chance ?

Nope! And the theme isn't colours. I've told you once ... 🤪

midgemadgemodge · 13/05/2023 09:41

8 more than a feeling - Boston ???

Nope. But I love that song!

midgemadgemodge · 13/05/2023 10:03

I know
But it's just what the words made me start to sing ... in both cases

I could probably do a theme of "songs they were not" but off out now

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/05/2023 13:25

Still outstanding.

  1. (Extra lyrics)

Everywhere across the land
In front of their mirrors with combs in their hands
They prepare to make a stand
Lover to lover, woman to man

Livin' for the small town xxx xxxx xxxx
Radio 'bout to blow
Top-down under the lights
Feel the heat, wild and sweet

I can tell by the look in your eyes
You've been hurtin
You know I'll never let you down oh, no
And I'll try anything to keep it workin

You gave me time to find out
What my heart was lookin for
And what I'm feelin inside
In your eyes
I want to see your love again
In your eyes
I never want this feeling to end
It took some time to find the light
But now I realize
xxxxxxxxxxxx

Turn around to see you
In a crowded place
I watch for the emotions
On a guarded face
Xxxxx

Victim of a dream
And a memory
But when I try to break free
You say to me
Xxxx

@NeedToKnow101

Are your songs from films too?

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 13/05/2023 19:38

I still don't know those other lyrics Coffee.

They sing Great Balls of Fire at a piano and You've lost that loving feeling in a bar but I know that those aren't the lyrics posted .

Nope! Well they might be but that's not the theme.

@CoffeeBeansGalore 2 was definitely sung by Gloria Estefan but can’t remember the name of it

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/06/2023 00:58

Correct. When she was with Miami Sound Machine.

It's Hot Summer Nights. Quite apt at the moment!

A few lyrics for you all - courtesy of my neighbours' radio this afternoon!

  1. It's time to get out, step out into the street
Where all of the action is right there at your feet
  1. If, when, why, what? How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it
  1. Someday your love will shine through
And show you the feelings that you never really knew
  1. I thought it was clear the plan was we would share,
This feeling just between ourselves.
  1. I know the time, time today
Walking alone in my own way
  1. And I say, maybe there must be a solution to
The one thing, the one thing we can't find
  1. The heat is stifling
Burning me up from the inside
  1. No sleep last night
Been dreaming of you Please hold me tight

They should all be 80s songs - given they weee listening to Heart 80s!

Fleamaker123 · 07/07/2023 21:18

Good evening Shiny!

  1. The heat is stifling
Burning me up from the inside
