“Goin’ Out of My Head / Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by the Lettermen. In all cases, I believe these songs were released as two songs on one side of the same record, so it would’ve been harder for them NOT to be back-to-back. ---

> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > _Another One Bites the Dust/We are the Champions_ -Queen I think you mean _We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions_. 🙂 And, in answer to **Prof. Pepperwinkle** , at least in this case, the two songs were released as a double-sided single, one song on each side of the 45. On the album, they’re adjacent tracks. ---

Pink Floyd has several _Happiest Days of Our Lives_/_Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2_ _Brain Damage_/_Eclipse_ _Empty Spaces_/_Young Lust_ Of course that tends to happen when you start breaking up concept albums. _Space Intro_/_Fly Like an Eagle_ - Steve Miller Band _Saint Stephen_/_The Eleven_ - Grateful Dead And back several years ago I noticed that the local country station almost always followed _Proud to be an American_ with _Ol’ Red_ for some reason. ---

Excuse me. _Bleeding._ Also: Crosby, Stills and Nash _Suite: Judy Blue Eyes/Marrakesh_ Simon and Garfunkel _A Hazy Shade of Winter/At the Zoo_ Reminder to DJs: if you’re not playing these pairs as a single track, you’re doing DJ’ing wrong, and need to turn in your turntables. ---
