Apropos of nothing: I stumbled on [this site](http://www.amiright.com/music-trivia/same-title-different-song/) last night and was just scanning to get ideas. Following the alphabetical list is a list of Top Ten Recycled Song Titles; #1 is “Home”–46 titles! I have no idea how popular any of these songs are/were and I’m tired and I wanna go to sleep! Scan if you will. G’night! ---
