Can’t live if living is without you–Harry Nilsson
Cocaine–Clapton
Just missed the edit window when I thought of my third nominee:
Cheeseburger In Paradise - Jimmy Buffet
Crosscut Saw - Albert King
Carmelita - Warren Zevon
Can’t Find My Way Home - Blind Faith
Come Sail Away - Styx
Come Monday - Jimmy Buffett
Craigslist - “Weird Al” Yankovic
Creep- Stone Temple Pilots
Come On Eileen- Dexy’s Midnight Runners
The Crunge- Led Zeppelin
“Cordelia,” The Tragically Hip
Cemetery Gates - The Smiths
Carolyn’s Fingers - Cocteau Twins
Cloudbusting - Kate Bush
Great Choice.
But in spirit of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I give you-
Carol of the Bells which uses the original tune of “Shchedryk,” written by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914.
I noticed someone else had already nominated “Cecilia” before me (I swear, I checked, but I somehow missed it). So I assume that nomination is null and void and I get another one.
Casey Jones - The Grateful Dead
Comanche - The Revels
Church Key - The Revels
California Sun - The Rivieras
Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Chelsea Hotel #2 - Leonard Cohen
- Cold - The Cure
- Catch - The Cure
- Come to Me - Björk
- Corcovado - StanGetz, João Gilberto
- Cantaloupe Island - Herbie Hancock
- Cry Me a River - Ella Fitzgerald
Carin at the liquor store - The National
Conversation 16 - The National
A Christmas Fucking Miracle - Run The Jewels
A Change Is Gonna Come - Otis Redding or Sam Cooke (take your pick)
The Captain’s Wife’s Lament - Paul and Storm
Colour My World - Chicago
Along the same lines, I’ll add:
Complete History of the Soviet Union, Arranged to the Melody of Tetris by Pig with the Face of a Boy. It’s incredibly clever and disturbingly accurate in its way.
Heads up: We are at 70 nominees and will shut it down when we reach 99.
mmm
Carmina Burana - Carl Orff
China Girl - The one and only David Bowie
Counting The Beat - The Swingers
Not sure this counts as a “song” any more than “Cantatas” by Bach does. I mean, it’s literally “songs of Beuern”, plural.
But hey, throw it in the mix anyway.
