Remember the music game we had a couple of years ago?
A sort of name that tune, you write a line from a song and others have to guess the song title, and ( if possible) the artist.
Whoever guesses correctly gets to write the next line from a song.If a poster doesn’t come back quickly to say’yes, that’s correct’ just go ahead ahead anyway and have your turn.
It sort of works!

lemongrove Thu 10-May-18 08:28:47

You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception

gillybob Thu 10-May-18 10:23:39

That was clearly way too easy for you baubles. But yours has got me really puzzled ?. Can I have a teensy clue please?

lemongrove Thu 10-May-18 12:16:17

Mine is...
‘but that’s alright, I’m not frightened by the world believe me....’

gillybob Thu 10-May-18 12:23:17

Easy........ "Days" I remember all my life........

Kirsty MacColl although others have sang it too I think, but I liked her version best.

lemongrove Thu 10-May-18 13:17:51

Yes, gilly correct ( heard it on the radio yesterday) lovely song.

lemongrove Thu 10-May-18 13:19:13

Baubles it sounds familiar, is it a Bob Dylan song?

baubles Thu 10-May-18 16:17:14

Not Bob Dylan, lemongrove, people usually love or hate the artist. Gilly you know this person, another of his is one of your favourites. grin

gillybob Thu 10-May-18 17:12:33

Oh I’m intrigued now and dying to ask Mr Google but I won’t Baubles ...... unless...... NO stop it woman !

“Another one of his is one of my favourites” hmm

I'm just mad about fourteen.. fourteens mad about me

gillybob Thu 10-May-18 19:18:49

They call me mellow yellow ....love it !

Still can’t get yours though Baubles confused

gillybob Thu 10-May-18 19:21:13

Well I just went back through the thread and I think it must be a Leonard Cohen song .Baubles I said “I love Suzanne” . But this ones got me baffled .

gillybob Thu 10-May-18 19:26:04

How about “I can hear you through the whine”

Not a misspelling of ?

Menopaws Thu 10-May-18 19:31:14

Wichita lineman...and I didn't look it up just sung it out loud and it clicked

lemongrove Thu 10-May-18 19:38:49

You may have to tell us Baubles ?

Bridgeit Thu 10-May-18 19:40:43

New skin.. for old men? Leonard Cohen

Barberdice Thu 10-May-18 20:42:57

Here's one:

Like a sleepy blue ocean

gillybob Thu 10-May-18 20:46:52

I’m singing the lines of this one out loud Barberdice and it’s not pretty !

It’s John Denver . Annie’s song .

I don’t think I would have ever got the Leonard Cohen one Baubles !
