Another Song Thread!

Recommended Posts

...because, obviously, we really need another excuse to post random songs :)

 

So, here's the idea: the song you post has to be related in some way to the previous one. Interpret that as broadly as you like; as long as the previous song somehow made you think of the one you post in reply, that's fine. But - and there's always a "but" - you have to tell us why the previous song makes you think of the one you posted, especially if it's not obvious. There has to be a link of some kind, even if it's only in your own head. And, as with the current song thread, post a link to a vid/recording of what you choose.

 

Since I'm kicking this off, it falls to me to decide where to start, and so I suppose I'd better start at the beginning (for me, at least): the first song on the first album I ever purchased.

 

Guns n' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle

Great idea, wise Phaedrus.

 

I'll play along with the following:

The Stone Roses - Tears. The link in this case is simply the Roses connection in the names of both artists.

 

Edit: Drat! Yet another song thread for RG to be faster than me in.

 

OK, so Lauryn Hill was a member of the Fugees, so:

Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing)

And this is a song about another boxer, Hurricane Carter

 

Plus, the Simon and Garfunkel song is rumoured to be about Dylan

 

And that's the kind of free association we're looking for!

You can stretch it as far as you like, as long as you tell us how you got there :) And as a bonus, you don't *have* to give us a band beginning with Y, unless you particularly want to...

 

On the subject of weather...

 

Live - Lightning Crashes

It's about an abused woman.

 

(Lyrical mindjump from Baby Hit Me One More Time.)

 

I'm out by a minute on the last post from Roaming Guy... But I like my idea and love this song, so I'm sticking to it. ;)

Remember to post a link to the song... I'll forgive you from a musical perspective this time, but not from a looking-at-boobies perspective :)
