Apropos of nothing:
I stumbled on this site 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!
Don’t be Cruel - Elvis Presley
Don’t Be Cruel - Bobby Brown
Vacation - Connie Francis
Vacation - The Go-Go’s
Just the Way You Are - Billy Joel
Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars
You’re right
and Supertramp, which did get a fair bit of AOR airplay.
“If” by Pink Floyd, and a totally different song with that title by some other band that escapes me – something to do with sandwiches or horses or something like that.
Here’s another “If”, this one by Janet Jackson.
And So It Goes
Forever Young - Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, or Alphaville, take your pick.
Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the music for Hosanna (Jesus Christ Superstar) and Hosanna (Requiem)
And The Cult song is not one of them. [editing…]
add Agent Orange as a band with a Breakdown song (best of the three if you ask me, which you didn’t.)
It may be nothing to you, but this will occupy for more than a few hours, thanks!
The website isn’t exhaustive though, it’ll presumably be a while before it’s complete enough to start selling information back to contributors. Added 5-6 of MrDibble’s Stay suggestions (also thanks!)(minus Lisa Loeb and Flyleaf as explained on the Stay page, up to around 15 famous enough for YouTube and Discogs cross-checks…)
There are already 30 varieties of Angel already posted there.
I probably used that phrase (“Apropos of nothing”) wrong; my apologies. I wasn’t sure if that site would/should be taken seriously (all the entries seemed to be phone-ins), but yeah, once you start, you better set your alarm and leave a trail of bread crumbs.
Coldplay, too. And more.
I’ve also got at least three different “Home” song MP3s, there’s a lot of those, too.
Nah, your usage was copacetic.
