Same Title, Different Song

[Michedelic]

The two that started this thread . . .

Ahh, right, sorry. I was up late last night and haven’t had my coffee yet.

Geez, there are zillions of these. One-word titles are where it's at. A 30-second look at my music library...

"Alive" Pearl Jam, Daft Punk

"Androgyny" Simple Minds, Garbage

"Angel" Jimi Hendrix, Massive Attack

"Arrival" Daft Punk, Zoe Keating

"Bad" Big Audio Dynamite, U2

"Birthday" The Beatles, The Sugarcubes

"Breathe" The Mission UK, U2

"Burn" The Cure, Nine Inch Nails

"Cascade" Afro Celt Sound System. Peter Murphy

"Changes" David Bowie, Yes

That's 10 and I'm not even through "c" yet.

For many of these, I'm sure there are more artists that go there. I mean, how many bands have a song called "Angel"? Gotta be at least 50...

For "Liar" besides what we have already there's also New Order, the Cranberries, and the Sex Pistols... and probably more.

So if you want to make it interesting, maybe only songs with at least two words in the title (and "the" doesn't count). Like...

"You Don't Know" Berlin, Curve

"4th of July" Soundgarden, U2

Burn by Deep Purple

Same song as the one Three Dog Night covered, mentioned in the very first post.

Well, this has been eye opening. I had never really thought about it, but would have never imagined song titles being recycled so much. And who would have thought that the leader of the pack (at least as far as this thread is concerned) would be Heartbreaker, closely followed by I Need You!

Thanks to everyone who has contributed thus far . . .

Yeah, it was originally recorded by Argent, written by their guitarist, Russ Ballard(the guy you hear singing on their huge hit, “Hold Your Head Up”). Ballard has written so many hits for other people, it’s mind blowing. One such example, “New York Groove”; first recorded by an obscure British band, Hello, it eventually became a hit for Kiss’ Ace Frehley.
