Pop Music Asks the Eternal Questions

How many pop/rock songs contain questions?

I can think of:
who put the bomp…
why do fools fall in love? Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers
why does it hurt when I pee? Frank Zappa

Name some other songs with questions in them.

yes, wah does.

(okay, maybe not the most rockin’ song… :wink: )

“Why does it always seem to be me looking at you, you looking at me?” (That’s All - Genesis)

“but you don’t really care for music, do you?” (Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen)

“How can a view become so twisted?” (The Things You Said - Depeche Mode)

From an old pop song:

I think it’s “Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t you?”
(At least that’s the way Ozzy sang t at the Cow Palace in '73.)

“How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?”

“Where have all the flowers gone?”

“Will you still love me tomorrow?”

“If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true and help me understand?”

“Has anyone here seen my old friend Abraham?”
