Leading on from first records you bought, songs that make you cry, songs that make you dance etc. How about a game of guess the title of a song and the singer, from a single line of lyrics? try not to Google, but guess it, more fun.Whoever is correct first, does the next one.

So, mine is
There she was, just a walkin' down the street.........

Haha, we are getting mixed up! tanith guessed first, so I was then guessing at her offering about space!

rosesarered Thu 05-Nov-15 17:12:32

However, it doesn't matter too much if things get a bit muddled.grin

rosesarered Thu 05-Nov-15 17:13:33

We can also answer seacliffe the walking in the sand one.

rosesarered Thu 05-Nov-15 17:27:32

tanith, the lyrics four days in space is surely from Eve Of Destruction??seacliff, is your walking in the sand, by Ronnie Hilton?

I'm staying away from this thread, it will give me earworms!

kittylester Thu 05-Nov-15 17:40:48

Walking in the sand, in my head, is someone like the Shirelles! I've got them phoenix!

kittylester Thu 05-Nov-15 17:43:28

Ok, I've looked it up because it was driving me bonkers! It wasn't the Shirelles nor was it Ronnie Hilton.

Indinana Thu 05-Nov-15 18:10:17

I know it goes on "walking hand in hand". But I can't think for the life of me who sang it.

seacliff Thu 05-Nov-15 18:11:45

Kitty is quite warm!

Indinana Thu 05-Nov-15 18:13:41

I can hear it in my head. Damn! Who was it? Think it was the same ones who sang Leader of the Pack, but still can't think of their name.

seacliff Thu 05-Nov-15 18:21:37

youu're right Indinana

tanith Thu 05-Nov-15 18:23:32

Sorry my mistake you are right roses . Eve of Destruction by Barry Maguire..

OH has this memory for old music he thinks the answer is The Shangrilas (sp)

Indinana Thu 05-Nov-15 18:26:48

Ah, that's it, The Shangri-Las! I'm sure your OH is right tanith. He's going to have to join Gransnet at this rate grin

seacliff Thu 05-Nov-15 18:30:08

well done Taniths' OH again!

tanith Thu 05-Nov-15 18:32:05

I just told him to get his own profile Indinana... he's really got into this now grin

I'll let him post his next lyric if no one minds

'and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats'.

Good lucky girls I've no clue myself..smile

Ana Thu 05-Nov-15 18:33:24
