Comment:
I have this thing about songs with titles based around clever wordplay, rhymes, contradictions or old sayings. Some songs have titles that just make you love them even before hearing them - Carolyn Crawford's "My Smile is Just a Frown (turned Upside Down" being just one example... Oh, and I love it when songwriters put parenthesis in their titles. In fact, every song ought to have paranthesis in them... And parenthesis WITHIN the paranthesis... ;-)Feedback:
Great! I especially like 1 & 23
Utterly, ludicrously fantastic. Nice one!
Very very good. That Crystals/Spiritualized coupling is terrific!
How can this not make you smile (and happy to see the heavy dose of R&B)!
Fun concept! Likin 1,8,15,17 especially.
LOL! Cute idea.
great concept, parenthesis rules hard!
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm surprised no one's commented on "I'm Chief Kamanawanalea" yet. It was only recently that I 'got' the hidden filth in that song's title. :-)
Nice. "Sophisticated Boom Boom" is a classic, as are 1, 3, 8, 11-13, 15, and 17-20.
great
Fun theme made excellent with lots of great tunes!
