Come on in.
Post a few lyrics of a song from 70s, 80s, 90s with the decade & we will try to guess the song & artist.

An easy one to start as we finish Thread 39 😊

Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it

Jumping in first, then back off to the other thread until we’ve finished it! (this is about the only thing I am early for!!)

Noooo! You can't post this - what if someone's doing whammageddon? (Sp?)

Honeyroar · 11/12/2023 22:49

Then they’re out! 🤣
I hate whammageddon, it’s a good song. I don’t like that it doesn’t get played as much. Why couldn’t they have picked a crap Xmas song??

One from the 1970's

I can see that you are lonesome just like me
And it being late, you'd like some company
Well, I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me
The guy you're with, he's up and split, the chair next to you's free

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 12/12/2023 21:12

Hi, found you! 🖐

I saw these lyrics on a Facebook page yesterday, but can’t remember what it was!

JaneJeffer · 12/12/2023 22:59

That's a coincidence @Honeyroar
I'm not sure what the rules of this game are? I know the answer to @DoubleTime's post do I just say it?

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 12/12/2023 23:26

@JaneJeffer yes - you can answer anyone else's lyrics or post your own if you feel like it.

Thank you for tagging Shiny.
Apologies I forgot 😳

In my defence Rogue I posted on Thread 39 that this one was up ready for a swift change over. And to look out for 🎅.

My tagging never seems to work anyway. Might be a new job for Shiny . . .

A nice easy one for the new thread. There is a theme and for bonus points, why is the last one remarkable compared to the others?

1 I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
And now you're telling me all your lies (1970)

2 When you look away, is it mean to say
That she haunts you night and day? (1985)

3 I don't know about me, I can't say that I have changed (1985)

4 With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us (1991)

5 I thought I knew how to handle my emotions (1986)

6 There's fodder for the cannons and the guilty ones can all sleep safely (1982)

Good luck.
