Na na na na

[pearl1]

I want candy... to me it's Bow Wow Wow but I strongly suspect it belonged to someone else first.

[Brendan]

It was originally written by The Strangeloves in 1702 or something. But it has been covered by all and sundry since.

Your go.

[pearl1]

Yippee yippee (that's not the lyric)

"the rich get richer, the poor are getting poorer, fascist, chauvanistic government fools..."

that was going round my head all day yesterday!

[Brendan]

John Lydon - rabbit song

[Brendan]

Set them free at the break of dawn

'Til one by one they were gone

Back at base, bugs in the software

Flash the message, something's out there

[Moos]

99 Red Balloons - Nena

[Brendan]

Yeah. Thankfully 80s cheese causes less confusion than 90s rock.

Your go.

[Moos]

Yay! Cue armpit hair all round.

easy one, 'cos I've been singing it recently:-

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,

I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways

[red devil]

That'll be Roxy and Hard rain's gonna fall?

[Moos]

Bob Dylan, but yes.

Your turn.

[red devil]

Not old enough to remember the original moos..;-)

This one is dead easy, inspired by my weekend trip to Manchester...

I live my life in the city

There's no easy way out

The day's moving just too fast for me

I need some time in the sunshine

Gotta slow it right down

The day's moving just too fast for me

[jaybee82]

Rock 'N Roll Star - Oasis

[red devil]

Top of the Class...

[jaybee82]

OK...

I'm old school like Happy Shopper

I fight old school, bring your bat and your chopper

And a first aid kit, and some antiseptic, this could get hectic

I'm a done accept it, you got a bright future

Dont let my wrath affect it

Brap brap!

[red devil]

Too many whiteys around here JB, I've heard this but can't get the tune, any clues?

[jaybee82]

The track is off a Mercury Music Prize winning album of the last 10 years...

[red devil]

Dizzee Rascal?

[jaybee82]

Sure is

Brendan - 'fraid you was not quite right....It's World Destruction by Timezone, which is of course John Lydon and Africa Bambaata

[Brendan]

Oh well. I very nearly said it was Public Image but then second guessed myself incorrectly and just went with John Lydon.

Know everything me. :-S

[sanity girl]

So whose turn is it now??

[red devil]

I've correctly guessed Dizzee Rascal, but don't know the song...

OK, in the name of getting things moving it was 'Fix Up, Look Sharp' by Mr. Rascal.

Here's another one:

"At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive

You make me feel alive, alive, alive"

[pearl1]

that has got to be 'Rio' by Duran Duran - tell me i'm right...
