Did you shoot the sheriff because he was dancing horribly to the _jailhouse rock_? ---

This isn’t much of a conversation, it’s as though everyone is off on a tangent talking about some _unrelated thing_. _Maybe I Know_ nothing about how the subtleties of this board work, but I think we should make an effort to make our song titles more _subliminal_ and integrate them into a thoughtful post… then again, perhaps I just need a _drink!_ ---

Everybody have a drink on me. -Wellcome to the boards **Astralbovine**. This thread suffers from being mindnumbingly simplistic 😉 do with it what you will, I was earlier chosing a single artist at a time, writing down all the songs I could remember of theirs, then using the Internet to double check spellings before using them in this thread. Now I am just dropping interesting songs into appropriate positions in the hopes they will remind other users of thos songs. For instance the above title is from an old I think Worzells song I remember from years back.
