The Song Title Game

[dreadnut]

"Leaving On A Jet Plane," John Denver (he wrote it.)

On his Guild F512.

"The Poontango" - Mojo Nixon

Warning: adult themes.




I'm never sure if Mojo Nixon's no-filters redneck persona is an act, or if it's really who he is. He's amusing in very small doses, but listening to a whole Mojo Nixon album at one go would be like sitting in pig slop for an hour.

EDIT: well crud, I should have updated before posting my response to Rocky, and now Dreadnut is ahead of me. So here's one to match his instead:

"Get Out of Denver" - Dave Edmunds

 

[ruedi]

"Colorado Bulldog" - Mr. Big

 

[Opsimath]

"Mopy Dog" - Nuuska

 

[gjmalcyon]

"Mopy Dog" - Nuuska

"Diamond Dogs - The other David Jones

 

[dwasifar]

"Blockhead" - Doguloids

 

[gjmalcyon]

"Blockhead" - Doguloids

"Blank Generation" - Richard Hell & The Voidoids

 

[dwasifar]

"Generation Landslide" - Alice Cooper




Interesting that Alice lifted the opening of this song from the Beatles' "Dear Prudence."

 

[Nuuska]

Chris Norman - Living Next Door To Alice​

 

[GGJaguar]

"Girl Next Door" - The Romantics

 

[Rocky]

"Generation Landslide" - Alice Cooper




Interesting that Alice lifted the opening of this song from the Beatles' "Dear Prudence."

It was probably Steve Hunter that wrote that part, which he reworked for Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill.

Back Door Love Affair - ZZ Top

 

[dadglasser]

Astrud Gilberto, João Gilberto and Stan Getz, The Girl from Ipanema:

 

[dwasifar]

Well, it looks like Dadglasser skipped over "Back Door Love Affair" and matched "Girl Next Door" instead. What to do?

I know! Here's one that matches the last five entries.

"All the Girls Love Alice" - Elton John

 

[dreadnut]

"Alice's Restaurant," Arlo Guthrie

 

[dwasifar]

"Hoedown at Alice's" - Steve Martin




Yes, that Steve Martin. It's music, not comedy.

 

[ruedi]

"Smile" - Wolf Alice

 

[dwasifar]

"Earache My Eye (Featuring Alice Bowie)" - Cheech & Chong

 

[GGJaguar]

"These Eyes" - The Guess Who

 

[Nuuska]

These Boots Are Made For Walking - Nancy Sinatra

 

[dwasifar]

"Walk Idiot Walk" - The Hives
