Well done Dave, one of my favourite Prince songs that one  :thumbsup:

DaveMorton

It was one of my favorites at the time, certainly. It's funny, because I recognised it in less than 5 seconds, but the only reason it dawned on me that that was the song was because before I had actually read the words, my subconscious grabbed the words and started playing the song in my head. It was all very surreal because I saw the post, began to read, then heard the song immediately. I wondered why that song was playing when the rest of my brain caught up and the metaphoric light lit. :D

I'll try to think of a good one. Stay tuned! :thumbsup:

Oops? I had forgotten it was my turn again. Silly me! I don't know whether this will be a challenge or not, but here it is:

Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds.

the song is rather old, but there have been some covers that were also popular, so there's that. :)

Oh, and bonus points if you can tell me the movie it came from. :P

Racking my brains but I'm struggling with this one.

Would it help to know the artists who performed it?

Freddy

Would a couple more lines give it away ?

DaveMorton

Probably, but it's worth a try.

Nope still don't know it  :LOL:

DaveMorton

Ok, final hint: There were three female artists who performed the song. They were:

1.) Thelma Houston
2.) Diana Ross
3.) Mariah Carey

I honestly didn't think this would be that difficult. :-\ :)

This one was bugging me, I cracked and Googled it  :@-computer:

No points for me  :(

Should have known it, it's a nice little tune that I find myself singing to from time to time.

Theme from the film Mahogany.

Do you know where you're going to ? Original Thelma Houston


DaveMorton

You are, Sir, quite correct. It was a bit more of a challenge than I had thought it would be, so my bad, but it's a lovely song. I'll try to present something easier on my next turn. :thumbsup:

I would not have got that despite knowing the song.

DaveMorton

Sorry for that, Freddy. With as popular as Diana Ross was, back in the day, I reckoned that this would only be a moderate challenge. Well, live and learn, I guess. :)

I'm not complaining, no need to say sorry, it's all part of the game  ;D
