Let’s have a game. Think of music (songs, waltzes, symphonies, etc.) which has a weapon in its title. You get a point for each piece of music (or artist) you post for the first time. If you post something that has already been posted by another, you lose a point. Keep track of your points!
Here are a few:
Poison Arrow, by ABC Hot, Hot, Hot, by Arrow Bullet the Blue Sky, by U2
Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Smashing Pumpkins. Cuts Like a Knife, Bryan Adams. Jani’s Got a Gun, Aerosmith. We’ll Grind That Axe For a Long Time, Pantera.
And of course, there’s the L.A. Guns from the 1980s.
I’ll be back later, when I’m not so friggin’ tired.
Just to mention that some of the submissions above don’t strictly adhere to the OP. Otherwise, I could mention Love is a Battlefield (Pat Benetar), Ballroom Blitz (Sweet), and Kung Fu Fighting (whatshisname)…
