Name that tune

Thanks Peter, but I think Graham was just trying to wriggle off the hook.

Sorry Graham, if nobody gets it, you have to keep trying until you come up with a song that somebody recognises. Them’s the rules.

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

Graham, is this Blue Christmas?

It is indeed Blue Christmas.

The Elvis version.

Your turn I think.

Thank you Graham.

That was good timing on your part because I heard the Elvis version last week at the hairdressers, where I was subjected to 3 hours of Christmas songs.

Apart from I believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake, ( which wasn’t played ) I am allergic to all the others.

Therefore, this is not a Christmas song:

These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in

Full marks Plummy.

Over to you.

Nice blast from the past! I had forgotten about that song, but just listened and instantly recalled it.

Late 70's

There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Are Friends Electric - Tubeway Army

Went from college to see them that year, a group of skinheads jumped me and my fellow apprentice on the way home. It was a very pleasant moment to discover he was a martial art black belt

Didn't think that one would last long. Good shout Wolfie (good story too)

Easy one here (?) the theme being that it could be the title of my weekly football bet...

“Baby we could talk all night...”

But that ain’t getting us nowhere...

Nice one Paul...

Thanks Steve

Went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar

"So we bought a six pack in the liquor store and we drank it in her car".

"Another Auld Lang Syne", by Dan Fogelberg

Edit: I thought this had been used before, so I searched the thread. I posted this song on January 3, 2015, (page 33) and Paul Victory named the tune! Role reversal.

Looks like we’re running out of songs that haven’t been asked before. And at least I didn’t pick the same lyrics. Anyway, it was almost six years ago, so I think the statute of limitations applies!

Over to you, Peter.

Paul, I was going to take that as a challenge, and started to look through the early pages of the thread, for a song to reuse. I changed my mind after seeing how many obscure (dare I say mostly unknown?) choices there were.

Not to follow that thought though, I decided on

"They smile in your face".

Backstabbers by the O-Jays?

That's it.

Go Mr. Plumb.

Big hit in lots of countries (but not the USA it seems - sorry). Often thought of as a Christmas song...

I'll protect you from the hooded claw

sorry, I know that one ... Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
(as a "rocker" their 'Pleasuredome' album is surprisingly(?) on my favorites list)

Correct Steve - all yours

I think we could exchange late 70s to lateWhen you were a young boy, did you have a puppy 80s for quite a while Dave

Next one...
“When you were a young boy, did you have a puppy”

I think that’s River Deep, Mountain High by Tina Turner.
