Songs with the same title

The theme on WFUV today is songs by different artists with the same title. How many can we think of?
I sent in Jerusalem. Using only artists the station plays I came up with this:
![]()
There's a ton for "Hallelujah" as well. Though there's only the One True Hallelujah in my book.
![]() ![]() ![]()
Are you saying that the definitive performance of Hallelujah is obvious?
![]()
No, since the One True Hallelujah has a bunch of versions, at least three of which are classics (Cohen, Buckley and Wainwright). But all other songs titled "Hallelujah" that don't begin with the link "I heard there was a secret chord" are just wannabes. :)
![]() ![]()
Hey, what about Handel's Hallelujah chorus? He was totally there first!
![]()
There are no bonus points for being there first. And his title has the word "Chorus" in it, anyway. :P
![]()
Now, the "Hallelujah Chorus: A Soulful Celebration," that is quality stuff.
![]()
On an only-slightly-related note, I once made a mix CD with theme of songs by different artists whose titles respond to each other. The centerpiece, of course, was BNL's "Be My Yoko Ono" followed by Dar's "I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono," but I was surprised by how many combinations I came up with. I don't remember all of them at the moment.
![]()
I plotted out a mix a lot like that once but never got around to making it. :)
![]() ![]()
That wasn't on there, but certainly would've qualified! :)
![]() ![]() ![]()
heh...and I know of at LEAST three artists with albums called Play.
![]()
And one "artist" had a TV show of that name. What was that guys name? Jean something?
![]() got Bigwig on that list? if not there's another number for you ![]() ![]() ![]()
Isn't there one by Martina McBride or Faith Hill or whatever country chick? :)

How could you forget all the artists with songs called "Present Tense Tureen?" There have got to be at least thirty.
![]() Dammit....REO Speedwagon's "Past Perfect Soup Bowl" is sooooo close. ![]()

There are a lot of "California" songs. Rufus Wainwright, Jeff Foucault, Joni Mitchell and Josh Ritter just off the top of my head. Add in variations and you have millions. :)

The one from On the Town and the one from New York, New York.
![]() ![]()
Those aren't exactly the same title though.
Is the Interpol song actually "NYC" or "New York City" There are songs by both titles NYC is from Annie and "New York City" by the Cubs and covered by TMBG. ![]() ![]()
I thought I might not have the name exactly right but I figured you'd correct me if I was wrong. I was right about that :-)
![]()
Huh.
I never realized that wasn't a TMBG original. Interesting. ![]() ![]() ![]()

What about Album titles? The only one that pops instantly to my head is Play by Great Big Sea and The Nields (which, btw, confuses my iTunes).
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
And Squeeze. I have GBS, Squeeze, and Nields and my CD database used to get mighty confused.
