You Beloong to Me

Jo Stafford (See the pyramids along the Nile…)

Patience and Prudence [unless it’s Prudence and Patience] (I know I know you belo-o-o-o-ong to so-o-o-o-ome-body else…)

Carly Simon (Why’d you tell me this? Were you looking for my reaction…)

Also Michael Buble’

“Streets of Baltimore” - one a country song by Harlan Howard & Tompall Glaser (I’m not sure who originally performed it), the other an Irish immigration song by O’Malley’s March.

Didn’t Creed and Natalie Imbruglia both have songs titled “Torn”? If so, that puts them up to at least five matches. Not that I’m saying anything about their originality…

Anway, I came in to post an odd, less-than-perfect match: HIM’s “In the Nightside of Eden” and Therion’s “Nightside of Eden”. That’s close enough to count, isn’t it?

Bobby Bare had a hit with “Streets…”
