Hey Dave!

I feel like I should know this, but I'm drawing a blank. Is it one of those one-name artists like Prince or Cher? Is it Cher?

Cheers,

Not a one-name artist. The song was written by a globally recognised male vocal trio

Well, we're all over the place here at house Zoot. (Mrs Zoot says Hi by the way!)

Neither of us recognizes the words. By your clues Mrs Zoot's first guess was Madonna. For the "globally recognised male vocal trio" we first thought of The Kingston Trio (our tastes are pretty old), now we're thinking maybe the Bee Gees? So, Olivia Newton John? Didn't she sing with the Bee Gees sometimes?

Jill? Carole? Paul? Peter? Need some help here!

Cheers,

Thank you Carole; obviously still eighteen ... just like me.👍 :)

How about Barbara Streisand? No clue as to the ( possible ) song title though.

My next slightly cryptic clue was going to be "the clues are genuine, there's no BS" - but Jill has the artist nailed down (and aptly described by Carole). Just need a title now (there aren't that many to choose from to be honest) - this one topped the billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks!

I thought some random guesses may have been worth a try here but no takers it seems...

The song was "Woman in Love".

Free for all to the next person wanting to post some lines...

Actually, I would have known that if I hadn’t been AWOL for a couple of weeks.

So I heard this song tonight and decided “why not”.

I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh oh oh.

The version I heard is a cover by an English singer of a song written by a Swedish singer-songwriter. It was a big hit in the UK in 2016.

Doesn’t look like anyone knows this. The song is Dancing On My Own, written by Robyn and covered by Calum Scott.

I knew the lyric but not the song or artist. I began to think this had appeared here before and it did, back in June 2021.

In the forlorn hope of reviving this thread, here’s a couple of lines from a song I only heard fairly recently, although it was recorded a number of years ago.

“And mama, every Saturday
I can hear your southern drawl a thousand miles away, saying”

I don't have a clue about those lines, which happens more, which is why I'm more a reader here then a participator, but I like the idea of reviving the thread.

Thanks. A bit more background. The song was recorded around 5 years ago, but only became a hit within the last year.

Not gaining much traction.

Just in case anyone recognises the song, the next lines after those shown above are:

God, what have you done?
You’re a **** **** girl and you dance in a club.

The song is called Pink Pony Club. It’s by Chappell Roan, who recorded it around 5 years ago, just before she was released by her then record label.

She signed with another label about a year ago and had a hit single with another song and also a hit album. Pink Pony Club was featured on the album and then released as a single and became one of the biggest selling songs of the year.

Hi Paul,
after reading the first couple of posts, I was going to guess, and then read you final post giving the answer.
I was correct :-) :-)

Maybe I jumped the gun a bit? Anyway, please feel free to post some lyrics as I deprived you of the honour of identifying the song.
