theme: names
Long time between posts. Anyway, heaps of songs here. I hope that these haven't already been uploaded.
The Beatles
I tried to upload things I hadn't already seen here, as there are many Beatles songs with names in them. These are all also personal favourites of mine.
Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite
Dear Prudence
Eleanor Rigby
Hey Jude
Julia
Lady Madonna
Lovely Rita
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Martha My Dear
Michelle
Polythene Pam
Rocky Racoon
Sexy Sadie
The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
A Perfect Circle
This sadly defunct side project of Tool's frontman Maynard Keenan made some great alternative metal.
Judith
Magdalena
Thomas
Single songs
Australian Crawl - Errol
Aussie Crawl are an Australian (duh) rock band from the '80s. One of their defining features is the complete lack of coherence in James Reyne's vocals.
Little Birdy - Andy Warhol
Little Birdy is fronted by Katy Steele (who comes from a good family) who has a lovely and unique voice. They're good, girly pop. This is from their debut LP Bigbiglove.
Stevie Wright - Evie (Parts 1-3)
An epic tale of love, pregnancy and tragedy. No, really. It's a fantastic Australian track that has a sad history of covers by incompetent musicians (no offence to many of the individual members of The Wrights, but Nic Cester needs to be shot now for this travesty).
System of a Down - Mr Jack
This is a great angry song. Unsure about its meaning, though.
Sneaker Pimps - Loretta Young Silks
Good trip hop.
Rocky Horror Picture Show - Dammit Janet!
So much love for this movie (and its soundtrack).
Tori Amos
I picked my favourites of Tori's songs with names for (or in) the titles.
Jackie's Strength
Marianne
Angie and Rolling Stones original
