Well done Plummy, your thinking is correct.

And it's Happy Birthday To You and over to you.

I haven't searched if we've had this song before so apologies if it's a repeat...

A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume

I "believe" it's:

Don't Stop Believin' - Journey

And for our next number:

Put away the crack before the crack puts you away

Another line, perhaps?

Put away the crack before the crack puts you away,
You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate

Alright, that wasn't supposed to be a stumper, but I give...

Walking on the Sun - Smash Mouth

The next one (hint: from the same band) is:

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Seems to be no takers - a clue :

Could have been written for Rob Smith(or Jason H)

Still no takers?

It is "Musclebound" by Spandau Ballet.

Another one- hopefully easier:

"I rose above the noise and confusion,
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion"

Thanks, Paul, for getting this (partially) stuck in my head!

I have finally come up with Carry On My Wayward Son.

If that is correct, I guess I will have peace when it is done.

Right you are Peter - lay your weary head to rest , don’t cry no more, and come up with a tune

Post by **Peter_S** » Sat May 26, 2018 4:16 pm

Thanks for that good advice Paul.

Next:
"She's frequently kind"

She's always a woman to me - Billy Joel? (not you

)

Three minutes Mr. Plumb? You are slipping!

But, you are correct!!

Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

First clue: Male, British, no longer with us.

Jill · Post by **Jill** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 9:47 pm

Something by George Michael or David Bowie?

plummy · Post by **plummy** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 8:28 am

You are correct Jill

Jill · Post by **Jill** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 1:53 pm

Plummy, I am always very correct ... and right.

Decisions.

I made a list of British artists who had taken the stairway to heaven and George Michael was at the top, so I'll go for him.

Paul Victory · Post by **Paul Victory** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 3:42 pm

It's actually name that tune, Jill.

But I agree that it sounds a lot more like George Michael than David Bowie. Might it be A Different Corner by any chance?

Ian Bee · Post by **Ian Bee** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 4:28 pm

Or Freedom?

plummy · Post by **plummy** » Sun Jun 03, 2018 8:06 am

Mr Bee takes it (although I think Freedom 90 is the full title but I'm feeling unpedantic this morning

)
