Pop music teaser - Bernie R

[filsgreen]

Neither of those, Shelagh.

[Shelagh]

You Win Again - Hot Chocolate?

[bjones]

Based on the "evidence" in your posts ( "take away tea" from "can't" in your reply to Bernie) Phil I'm going to try
I CAN PROVE IT by TONY ATORIA.

[filsgreen]

Sorry, Shelagh, Bee has it with her guess.

[bjones]

1980s - PLEASE RESPECT MY PERSONAL SPACE

[Bernie R]

Billy Ocean - Get outta my car?

[Bernie R]

Billy Ocean - what was I thinking of???

On second thoughts... Police - Don't stand so close to me?

[bjones]

Ah well Bern, Billy Ocean was at 7.50, probably post first coffee of the day. Of course it's Police.

[Bernie R]

80s

Rollercoaster
Hours, minutes, seconds

[bjones]

How's about RIDE ON TIME from BLACKBOX?

[Bernie R]

You know me so well Bee - back to you

[bjones]

I should know you well by now Bern; we'll have been playing this for 7 years on Sunday

Staying with the 80s - OLD SCOUSERS CALL THIS "AWLD BUCK"

[filsgreen]

Is it Back chat by Queen, Bee?

[bjones]

It sure is Phil... and did you notice the importance of punctuation in your post? That comma makes it clear that it was by Freddie's lot and not me (Queen Bee )

[filsgreen]

I thought that, Bee. I'll be back with another soon.

[filsgreen]

Here's one from the 70s.

Arnie's catch phrase normalised.

[bjones]

Phil, when I looked at this yesterday I read "ANNie's catch phrase" and never having seen the musical gave up immediately...… just looked in this morning and my specs are obviously cleaner....
Will try I WILL RETURN from Springwater

[filsgreen]

No, Bee, you are right. The auto correct on my phone changed it to Annie, I corrected it last night. You're spot on with your answer, back to you.

[bjones]

Thank goodness for that Phil; I really did think I was going even dafter

Back to the 60s; THE STAGING BOARD'S KID SISTER?

[filsgreen]

Lily the pink by The Scaffold?

[bjones]

You're maybe thinking of bawd not board Phil
This female's not very old.....

[filsgreen]

I was thinking about scaffold, because that's another word for staging board, Bee.

[bjones]

Good thinking Phil, now think of bigger boards than scaffold boards.... actually that'll probably confuse you even more than my original clue so just think of the second part of my last reply

[filsgreen]

What about Young girl by Gary Pucket and the Union Gap?

[bjones]

That's the one Phil; I actually thought that a Youngman was the "generic name" for those boards until I checked it out today and found that's actually a brand

[filsgreen]

Thanks, Bee. Yes, Youngman, only make lightweight scaffolding made of aluminium, general scaffolding tubes are steel.

[bjones]

Reason I remember the name "Youngman" is because years ago my late brother (19 years my senior) told me he'd need to get a Youngman to have a look on my house's flat roofed extension . . . I retorted with "your not that old Bill, surely you can get up there". .. needless to say I was teased mercilessly for thinking he'd have to recruit a younger pal

[filsgreen]

You can't be au fait with all aspects of the building trade, Bee.

[filsgreen]

Here's one from the seventies.

A.

[Bill fawcett]

I'll try

Showaddywaddy - A Little Bit Of SoAp ?

Bill

[filsgreen]

Not that one, Bill.

[bjones]

Thinking THE LETTER which was covered by JOE COCKER in the 70s???

[filsgreen]

That's the song, Bee, it was done by the Box tops in the 60s. Even better for thinking of it from the 70s, I mistakenly wrote seventies. I actually got the question from listening to that record on Sounds of the seventies, yesterday.

[bjones]

Phil, I hadn't recalled Joe Cocker's version but found it when I checked out when the Box Tops did it. Great song which I'll now put on Peter's Petticoat and be back later with a new Q.

[Bernie R]

D'oh!!!

Thought of that one but dismissed it as it was from 1967
