Although it was a duet

Fleamaker · 04/10/2023 20:33

It's so satisfying when nobody guesses it 😂is that really wrong?

midgemadgemodge · 05/10/2023 09:57

A theme for @Fleamaker

1:trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry

2: and when I ask you to be nice you say

3: ( I suspect an 80s rerelease)
I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of mmmg

I'd never get these next two

4: you were the baby of the class you know
You really didn't know that one and one is two

5: oh ho hi life can be ...THEME....

1 is Cruel Summer by Bananarama. CRUEL..... 😂😂😂

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 05/10/2023 18:53

Ah number 3 is don't be cruel by Elvis (unless there is a cover version you are thinking of )

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 05/10/2023 18:54

And number two is Gotta be cruel to be kind

Not sure who sings it though

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 05/10/2023 18:58

Lyrics were vaguely familiar but wouldn't have got without the clue ! Thanks Dex!

midgemadgemodge · 05/10/2023 22:57

Dave Edmunds?

midgemadgemodge · 06/10/2023 07:43

Not who I was thinking of ( although it may be one sung by many people )

Fleamaker · 03/10/2023 22:06

I always dreamed I'd find the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man I loved

70's

No more tears by Barbara Streisand and Donna Summer

[Verse 1]
They came at night, leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him, no evidence was found
“I'm never coming back” they heard him cry
And I believe him
Well, he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

He said, "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And The Beatles"
