Thanks to the wonders of XM radio, I am now more aware of song titles as they are displayed on my unit for easy viewing. The other day I saw a song called “One” but I didn’t recognize the artist. I realized that U2, Elton John, and Three Dog Night (possibly more) also had songs by that title. “Spy in the House of Love” is also a pretty popular title by multiple artists, each song being different from the other.
So, what song title has been used most often to name original (not remade) songs?
Considering the odds of duplicity are greater as the titles get shorter, I woulda guessed Fire…but there are probably many other titles with more commonality.
I don’t know how common it is in general, but in 1985 “The Power of Love” was the title of three different UK chart hits by three different artists - Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Huey Lewis and the News, and Jennifer Rush.
