What is the best song that begins with the letter B? See rules in OP

You forgot “Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)” by Pat Travers Band :slight_smile:

mmm

While John Lee Hooker’s “Boom Boom” could be a contender for this thread. Will someone pick it?

Hehe, I was gonna, but then I thought of “Boogie Chillun” and had to go that way.

Interesting that Brown Sugar hasn’t been suggested yet. Has it been “cancelled” because of the subject matter? (I guess that discussion would better take place in another thread)

I’m certainly not cancelling it. I just didn’t think of it.

mmm

Bennie and the Jets - Elton John
Bicycle Race - Queen
Born to Be Wild - Steppenwolf
Both Sides Now - Judy Collins
Barracuda - Heart

Every time someone posts in this thread, I say :woman_facepalming: “Oh yeah!”

I think Jeff gets this thread’s Why Didn’t I Think of That award.

mmm

I’m fine with the five I posted earlier, but I’ll offer “Barbara Ann” by the Beach Boys for anyone who might want it.

Blitzkrieg Bop - The Ramones
Basket Case - Green Day
Big Sky - The Kinks
Bitch - The Rolling Stones
Beautiful Girls - Van Halen

We have a tie for the Number One “I” song and we need to have a showdown.

Please go here to vote:

mmm

I am going to forfeit “Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell and add “Brown Sugar” by the Stones to my five.

So the Joni song is available.

mmm

“Big Shot” – Billy Joel
“Big Man on Mulberry Street” – Billy Joel
“Ballad of Billy the Kid” – Billy Joel
“Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” – Olivia Rodrigo
“Boyshit” – Madison Beer

Black Country Rock - David Bowie
Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits
Billericay Dickie - Ian Dury and the Blockheads
Back to Black - Amy Winehouse

- and the remarkable - nay, unique

Blaze Away - Viv Fisher (all of the instruments are Mr Fisher, but without the use of any instruments).

j

(Also, if anyone is still short of a song or two, The Bewlay Brothers is still looking for a sponsor, as is Blinded By The Light)

ETA - not sure if Billericay Dickie is at all well known in the US. It should be - here it is, just in case:

I had that song on my ‘B’ list, but it was already taken by the time I got to this thread. So strike “Battle of Who Could Care Less” from my list and replace it with “Big Yellow Taxi”.

Done.

mmm
