At the risk of being accused of being bored (I am!) here's an idea.
How about we play a version of name that tune - try to put into text a well known part of a song and the object is to come up with the next line or the song title. The winner sets the next one, no obscure stuff or this will be a very short thread.

By way of example:

Paa Paa Paa Paa Paarp. Paa Paa Paa Paa Parp! Might be (we're) the one and only Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

whilst Bu-Bu Bu-Bu. Bu-Bu Bu-bu buoump buoump. Might be the famous drum roll of Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight

So first challenge

Boomp Boomp Tshh Boomp. Boomp Tshh Boomp Tshh. Boomp Booomp Tshh

Off we go.....

Crikey!....I thought I'd got that one wrong! errr...

da dum da da dum da da da; da dum da da dum da da da; da dum da da dum da da da; doo doo; doo doo; doo doo; doo doo


It's harder than it sounds to 'type' a tune that makes it recognisable and I may have made a poor effort!

Well it was Billie Jean....like I said, hard to 'type' a rhythm!

I think I'll leave it to others smile

Aint’t they the words rather than the tune? Was going to type out the music to the Can-Can but my head hurts just thinking about it ....
