#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 24 - 🧟‍♂️ I’d never come across this emoji before but I’m looking forward to dropping it into posts from now on. Meanwhile, I’m inspired by its freaky appearance for today’s choice 😊 Sugababes - Freak Like Me m.youtube.com/watch?v=dSAG...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 23 - ☕️ It needs milk, obvs, but I’m assuming this is a (nice) cup of tea. Tea, the perfect drink for those times when we need to stop, think and reflect on things. Put the kettle on! 🫖 Bernard Cribbins - Right Said Fred m.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ6L...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 22 - 🍒 Everyone up for a bit of dancing and singing and moving to the grooving? I am! Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music m.youtube.com/watch?v=yILr...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 21 - 🇬🇧 Blimey! It’s tough picking one song which sums up the four home nations - not just one of them! At least the title of this one covers it 👍😁 Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK m.youtube.com/watch?v=q31W...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 20 - 🧠 Time to use those brains of ours and do some thinking 😊 (Second airing of Paul Heaton from me, in just a few days!) The Housemartins - Think For A Minute m.youtube.com/watch?v=KnLF...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 18 - ☂️ Love a song that talks about putting a wet coat on a radiator! Like the rain blew into town, kidnapped the sun And stole its brolly The Beautiful South - Manchester m.youtube.com/watch?v=QFWP...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 17 - 🦆 Hoping @cornduck3.bsky.social won’t be upset by any mis-speciesing, but I’m taking this emoji to mean any water-loving bird with webbed feet and waterproof feathers. Goose-Step Mama - The Ruttles m.youtube.com/watch?v=llKJ...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 14 - 🪩 So many thoughts! But how about this one to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its UK release yesterday? And what better way to enjoy it than with a Pan’s People interpretive dance Andrea True Connection - More More More m.youtube.com/watch?v=NuWu...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 13 - 🍁 I think this one’s been properly inspired by the blowy old day we’ve been having! David Bowie - Wild Is The Wind Like the leaf clings to the tree Oh, my darling, cling to me m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysql...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 12 - 🏝️ Bob, the old maverick, reckons he IS an island, entire of himself. Take that John Dunne! Looking After Number One - Boomtown Rats m.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Xt...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 11 -🍕 Our European friends may still award this song Nul Point, but I think it‘s brill! And I suspect it won’t be too long before we’re all singing, Eins, zwei, drei with a slice of pepperoni… Look Mum No Computer - Eins, Zwei, Drei m.youtube.com/watch?v=niMK...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 10 - 👠 Say what you see! [The Angels Wanna Wear My] Red Shoes - Elvis Costello m.youtube.com/watch?v=pS8o...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 9 - 🎻 It looks bigger than a violin to me so I’m going with this one. Pop on those dancing shoes! 😊 Viola Wills - Gonna Get Along Without You Now m.youtube.com/watch?v=1XkT...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 8 - 🐩 I did have one thought for ‘poodle’ but it was slim pickings! Therefore I’ve decided to interpret this emoji in a more generic way 😊 Dog Eat Dog - Adam Ant m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5WN...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 7 - 🔙 This one’s just joyous! 🥰 Maxine Nightingale - Right Back Where We Started From m.youtube.com/watch?v=_bna...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 6 - 🙈 According to Google, this emoji can mean embarrassment. Hope so, as this song’s a cracker! Based on a true story - which thankfully turned out fine in the end. Madness - Embarrassment m.youtube.com/watch?v=P23G...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 5 - 🇯🇵 In the end, this is my favourite song referencing Japan 🥰 Turning Japanese - The Vapors m.youtube.com/watch?v=nGy9...

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 3 - 🤒 Lots of different thoughts for today, but in the end I’m plumping for this one because these lyrics have been running through my head all day: It's sick the price of medicine The Psychedelic Furs - President Gas m.youtube.com/watch?v=ywCH...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong Huge thanks to @juliemch.bsky.social and @diegoalonso.bsky.social for hosting such a wonderfully nostalgic and original challenge. And thanks to everyone who joined in 🥰 I’m off to have another go at my Disney Jigsaw 😁

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 28. Soul Main character Joe Gardner dreams of becoming a jazz pianist like his dad was, so this one feels appropriate. (And bonus if you recognise the song Steely Dan ‘borrowed’ from the start!) Horace Silver - Song for My Father m.youtube.com/watch?v=boVa...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 27. Coco I saw ’Coco’ and naturally the UK’s (criminally underrated - it finished 11th! 😮) 1978 entry to Eurovision sprang to mind. Forgotten by most but resurrected here for us all to enjoy…😊 Co Co - The Bad Old Days m.youtube.com/watch?v=LdWy...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 25. Frozen I present the Spandau Boys with their slightly pretentious lyrics, their generic early 80s video and their adventurous costumes. Please also note the perfectly apt title! 👌 Spandau Ballet - The Freeze m.youtube.com/watch?v=29ZC...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 23. Tangled If Rapunzel’s hair is long and golden, she is able to sing to it and it becomes magical. Should it ever become short, it will turn brown and the magic will be lost. Spare us the cutter The Cutter - Echo And The Bunnymen m.youtube.com/watch?v=3fKw...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 22. The Princess and the Frog It started with a kiss… Stephen Duffy - Kiss Me m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Bes...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 20. Ratatouille Was definitely going to be a UB40 one for me today. In the end, the ‘Say what you see’ option won out over Food for Thought. Expecting quite a few of us to have had the same thought 😁 Rat In Mi Kitchen - UB40 m.youtube.com/watch?v=jaus...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 19. The Incredibles This song would be perfect for the start of the film where all the superheroes have gone into hiding The Stranglers - No More Heroes m.youtube.com/watch?v=2B4b...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 15. Hercules One of Hercules’ 12 Labours was to clean out the Augean stables. Apparently it’s not featured in the plot of the film, so this should make amends. The Farmer's Boys - Muck It Out m.youtube.com/watch?v=nrLx...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 13. Toy Story Jimmy Nail - Cowboy Dreams m.youtube.com/watch?v=CQRl...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 13. The Lion King Apparently, the Lion King is heavily inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet, so I’m going for this one 👍 B. A. ROBERTSON - To Be Or Not To Be m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mvrh...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 12. Aladdin This version because of the twinkly eyes AND sparkly shirt 🥰 David Essex - Lamplight m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzfd...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 9. The Jungle Book Seeing as @aizuyabanjin.bsky.social is AWOL this month, I’m nominating my own BDDDBD Hunting Tigers out in India - Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band m.youtube.com/watch?v=rMpx...

#MusicChallenge #WrongDisneySong 8. The Sword And The Stone Christopher Cross - Arthur's Theme m.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ6z...
