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!

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

A Boy Named Sue?

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

I expect in that year I played it non stop too grin the trick is in remembering what it was.

gillybob Thu 10-May-18 08:27:17

lemongrove Thu 10-May-18 08:21:01

gillybob Thu 10-May-18 08:18:58

gillybob Sun 06-May-18 23:52:59

Well Marydoll it’s keeping me and DH awake but our guess (and I stress it’s a wild guess) is it Kingston Town ? uB40 ?

gillybob Sun 06-May-18 23:45:34

Might need a bit more than that Marydoll hmm

gillybob Sun 06-May-18 23:44:59

Marydoll Sun 06-May-18 22:11:46

The night seems to fade,

lemongrove Sun 06-May-18 22:10:11

That’s it Mary

My previous song was actually called tubthumping, but often known as the ‘I get knocked down’ song btw.

Marydoll Sun 06-May-18 21:39:26

Travis.
Why does it always rain on me?

lemongrove Sun 06-May-18 21:02:37

Next song....

Was it because I lied when I was seventeen?

lemongrove Sun 06-May-18 21:00:53

Ok....it’s ‘ I get knocked down, but I get up again’ by Chuwumbawumba
Lyrics ( and very catchy) ‘I get knocked down, but I get up again, you never can keep me down.........I drink a whisky drink I drink a lager drink, I drink a brandy drink I drink a shandy drink etc etc.
( a bit like the clientele of The Argy)
Look this one up on youtube.grin

Menopaws Sun 06-May-18 20:34:40

Does no-one know mine?

gillybob Sat 05-May-18 23:27:58

lemongrove Sat 05-May-18 22:56:49
