Peter,

I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free (from this riddle), so let me just throw out:

Guilty pleasure is too nice a term...

Their songs were everywhere and, unfortunately, burned into my brain as a result.

Their most tragic song of many I think.

LoL - We've got a winner! As you've already determined...

First clue: 80's Australian Pop/Soft Rock Duo

Just odd looks from me....

I even Googled it and was less than satisfied with the results....

And on that note, next up:

I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right

Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick, mama! Word Up - Cameo I think Plummy's dead on - even after hearing the answers, I didn't recognize 3 of the last 4 songs. I knew "Smoke on the Water", but didn't recognize the lyrics quickly. I still check the thread every few days... :)

Happy successful trip around the sun, Peter!

Mr Squirrel, It's very hard to beat good old-fashioned squats for leg strength. They are considered a foundational exercise in any good strength-building regimen. I would suggest starting with 0 weight a couple of times a week and adding slightly more each week over time. "Slightly more" c...

Alas, there was no one in sight
To fulfill their grand thirst's delight
So their fanciful beers
Filled with very real tears
As they considered walking "into the light".

Happy March, Pepe - and sorry for butchering your rhyme...

Ladies & Gentlemen, We've got a winner!

The band has not been named yet, but here's another (giveaway) clue.

Try reading the lyrics with a reggae beat in your head...

I'm not giving up on this one - I know you know it!

Not Eurythmics... here's some more lyrics...

All I can do, I've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go
....
I was wrong,
Now I find,
Just one thing makes me forget

Time for some clues for this super-easy one... :D Originally released in 1967 by an American singer-songwriter and received a somewhat tepid reception. However, was remade in 1983 by an English pop band and hit #1 in the US and UK (and others). I was wrong, Now I find, Just one thing makes me forget

I'm back in the saddle again! (Aerosmith, but those aren't my lyrics!)

Up next:

I was wrong,
Now I find,
Just one thing makes me forget

Can't believe this hasn't gone yet!

Superfreak - Rick James

w00t! Happy Birthday, CA!

Just watched the video. I don't believe I've ever heard this song in my life - sitting here in the middle of Indiana, USA....

It's catchy though!

I never met the man, but my condolences to those that knew him and will miss him. Sorry for your loss!

Nice!

You got it, Plummy!

I did a search after posting and saw that it had been used before (2016, I think), but at least I used different lyrics... lol

Thanks!

Next...

Let's hope it's a good one; without any fears

Oops! Knew that one right off, but put off answering "for later" and.... forgot...

Okay, back now:

Don't You Want Me - Human League

plummy wrote: ↑Sun Nov 11, 2018 3:38 pm Is that "Walk this way" by Aerosmith and Run DMC? The lines just posted look and sound right.

Close enough!

The one with (part of) Aerosmith & Run DMC was the 1986 remake of Aerosmith's 1975 original from the Toys in the Attic album.

Your turn, sir!
