[CoffeeBeansGalore]

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.

Wham, everything she wants

Yes @Fleamaker 😀

Correct! Murray Head 😊

Correct @Fleamaker and @DoubleTime

3 is Wet Wet Wet - Angel eyes

Yes it is @LauraNorda

Been quiet here for a while, so here is a new set. Also, all these songs have something in common. Can you guess?

1 I don't have to know your name and I won't tell you what to do (1981)

2 Everyone around, love them, love them (1991)

3 He's banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee (1985)

4 But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone (1984)

5 You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive (1972)

6 If looks could kill, they probably will (1980)

7 Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you (1965)

8 I put an end to worrying, I learned the way from Will (1983)

Good luck.

5 is Carly Simon you're so vain

Many of the others are familiar but I need to be working

Thats correct. Don't work too hard though.

6 If looks could kill, they probably will (1980)

Games without Frontiers Pete Gabriel.

Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell

Sorry, that was number 4

4 But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone (1984)

7 Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you (1965)

You've lost that loving feeling - The Everly Brothers

@Dexterwontstopfarting

All correct.

Is number 2 REM Shiny, happy people ?

Isn't 'you've lost that loving feeling' by the Righteous Brothers?

Is the thing that they have in common that they've all featured in films or TV shows ?

@ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea

Your song guesses are correct but not the thing they have in common.

Just 1, 3 and 8 to guess now.

1 I don't have to know your name and I won't tell you what to do (1981)

Dead Ringer for Love - Meatloaf?

You are right, Shiny! Bloody brothers. Shouldn't be allowed 😂😂

Correct

3/ Money for Nothing - Dire Straits

Correct.

Just No8 to get and what each of the songs have in common.

Can we have a bit more to number 8 please Laura?

Grasping at straws here - do they all have instantly recognisable introductions ? (Aside from the Rockwell one 🤣)

@ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea

The next line names the song. This is a line from earlier

"I'd meet a boy I really liked, I'd start to win his heart"

As for what they all have in common, look at the performers on the songs . . .
