:D Those were 1. Tears of a clownfish 2. Driving in my carp 3. Salmon’s knocking at the door 4. Cod’nt get it right 5. This eel’s on fire 6. Hake rattle and roll 7. Love dory 8. Are you gonna bream my girl? 9. Herring my bell 10. Lonely koi OK here are some more songs with a different missing theme....

Yeah, I did. But my day job now consists of doing nice art projects, walking, looking after grandchildren, seeing my friends, visiting nice places, going out for lunch...

It's all just SO taxing!

But that's probably why my brain has turned to mush.

Scurra also has them all correct.

P.S. Sorry, turns out 3 isn't actually called that - it's a lyric. I won't give up the day job.

Sparkout has sent me a full set of correct answers. Anyone else want to venture any answers?

is 5 correct? It seems to have some vowels left.

Sorry, that's what happens when I try to delete things when the font is as small as it is on here!
Should have said
THS LS NFR

Yes, well done!

OK another set. songs again, but this time a different "other" theme.

1. TRSF CLW NFSH

5. THS LS NFR

Aah! I was trying to make Lily!

Well, the random way they are constructed it could have been anything. And as Laura pointed out, I definitely did make (a pretty major) mistake earlier on!

Right, I am now understanding this a bit better. I'd been making it harder for myself - or being too pedantic! :oops: Got 10 (didn't know the bit in brackets, just knew it by the first 3 words) 4 I am thinking (Dave Clark 5 but could be missing a Y?) Not sure about SparkOut's clue though so could b...

For 10 I think maybe Natalie Cole has turned Scottish?

She has indeed. THISTLE BE AN EVERLASTING LOVE

Anyone like to hazard a guess at any of the others?

I have more, when this one is done, if anyone wants them!

my favourite so far
9. Puff the magic snapdragon

Yes, I quite liked that one too! Well done.

#1 solved by LAT:
THE (PEONY) WAY IS UP

And yes, they are all that groan-worthy!

Ooops, yes, quite right. I will amend it!

In case you couldn't work it out, that says ONLY CONNECT MISSING VOWELS / HOUSE OF GAMES MASHUP I've been having a look at these on a random Facebook group, and think they are fun. Basically, it's two random categories, mashed together, with the vowels removed. I will give you one of the categories,...

Oh, I was there then too, you know! :lol: Although only for 9 years. I think the most depressing part is watching all the 1981 make up and clothes and remembering that I wore all of that stuff! Oh yes, the crimped, pillar box red hair, the Toyah make up, the ra ra skirts, fishnet tights, the lot. Wh...

Just been watching (well, yes, you can tell how great my social life is this evening!) some programme on channel 5 about hits from 1981. And feeling VERY old. :o So just because I have had to endure it, so should you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP5C6yW9XVs For both of our birthday belles this w...

Happy birthday Chazzie! xx

Happy birthday to my favourite jester! I do love you really, even if I have just been threatening to strangle you for your hints!

Don't know if anyone would be interested in this? I'm not (I'm hopeless at Uni Chal etc.) but just thought there could be some potential candidates here? https://scontent-lhr8-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/340871311_569579995154306_1428792830603469120_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_p843x403&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_n...
