Let's play Spot the Lyric

[dub-no-bass]

That'll be 'Stand and Deliver' by Adam and the Ants. And you were probably born in 1973.

 

[ChrisKH]

Adam Ant - Stand and Deliver (I'm ashamed to know that).

Would put you in my sister-in-law's league 1965/66/67.

Sorry I don't know the answer to this it's a plea for help.

There's a cover version being played on High Peak Radio:-

"Hey, How ya doing,
Sorry you couldn't get through,
If you leave your name and your number,
I'll get back to you"

Ta in advance.

both de la soul and curiosity killed the cat </spit> did a version of the song but it's name escapes me.

I think it's 'Down to Earth'. I used to be a fan :?:

 

[Lardyboy]

"Is it worth it
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday...."

Another easy one.

 

[palinurus]

Well that's Shipbuilding. Elvis Costello wrote it. And recorded it at some point, but the first version I heard was by Robert Wyatt.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

See if anyone gets this:

He say, "What's your number?"
I don't answer.
He say, "What's your number , man?"
I don't answer.

Here's my contribution, heard it earlier today.

"I remember the night the kid cut off his right arm
In a fit to save a bit of power
He got fifty thousand watts
In a big acoustic tower"

Was that that very odd song about Tonto and the Lone Ranger?

I notice nobody's got mine yet.

 

[Mr Phoebus]

54-46 was my number: Toots and the Maytals...classic ska!

Okey-doke, here's one (I don't think there are any others 'hanging', as it were)...

Hello and how are you, and how do you do
and who is that girl standing right next to you?
and what is her name, and what does she do?
I'm looking at her, while i'm talking to you

 

[Rhythm Thief]

That's not "I'm looking through you" by the Beatles, is it? If so:

Braking for no reason at all
Speeding up to 30 then do 25
Sunday driving seven days a week, oh lord
I'm driving on the fast side of slow.

If not, sorry - someone else have a go.

 

[Fnaar]

That's not "I'm looking through you" by the Beatles, is it
