Musical Acts

2. If you get them back they won't have changed. ABBA
3. To a degree your grandmother got a ruin back. BANANARAMA
4. Got the shabby drink back.
5. It sounds as though if you initially change her , she will become quite chubby.

Sorry Ken not her. Look at what the first part of the clue says.

Not her Shelagh. As I said to Ken, read the first part of the clue, there is a big hint there.

Not her Shelagh, but I will give you another clue. 'Tiger' could have something to do with the answer.

Hi Bee, neither of those. I was expecting you to come in on this one a while ago.
I have been calling this very famous singer by this name for years. Think of the 'tiger' clue as well as sounds like.

She's the one Bernie. Every time I see her I automatically call her Burley Chassie instead of Shirley Bassey.
Well done

Come on folks, give it a 'whirl' and have another 'turn' at guessing the last one.

Go on then Bill, will go with original thought, Baccara, 'Yes Sir I Can Boogie'
drink - Bacardi - no shabby!
Also, band called Chic 'Everybody Dance' fits in with shabby, but no drink
involved!!
Where's Bernie when he's needed

Not them Shelagh. Think of something that 'whirls' & 'turns'

Those last clues have me thinking of The Spinners and as 'got the' is an anagram of Ghetto so I'll tentatively go for Detroit Spinners (had a hit with Ghetto Child) - that said, it's all a bit tenuous so I'm not at all confident.
On the plus side, it did remind me of that fab soul song which I've just used as Today's Tune on Facebook

Not them Bernie. I'm beginning to wonder 'weather' anyone is going to get this.

Hooray! That's the one Shelagh, though it's nothing to do with a cocktail.
A synonym of torn is 'shabby' and ados is a backward drink 'soda'.
So shabby drink back = torn + ados
The answers are always right there in the clues. You don't have to think of anything complicated or outside the box.
