ABC's of Song Titles

[Vexed]

 Not sure if this has been done before (got tired of searching after 20 or 30 pages and search function doesn't always provide expected results).

 List a song title with it's group/singer alphabetically. A - Z and start over. I think there should be a song somewhere for every letter. Any year is acceptable. Double postings are ok.

Starting off with:

   A Hard Day's Night  - Beatles

 For the letters Q, X and Z:

  When those letters come up, you may skip them and post the next letter. Or, you can post a Q, X or Z and post the next letter if you wish. Either choice is fine.

[SummerOnTheWay1]

(This song later also became a hit for the Cryan' Shames (1968), Laura Nyro (1970), and James Taylor (1979).)

I vote to cancel X & Z

[WebWiseWoman]

Shame on anyone who chooses to "cancel" any other thing, person, song, anything they feel they have power to cancel!

Done

Sorry, @Vexed; great goal and wonderful time here but now, as seems to always happen with AARP, terrible things happen (I'm not going to write it's sexist, but when one called out for error, now attack...

[Vexed]

 To all:

No need for anyone to cancel/skip "X" or "Z". There aren't a ton of them, but there still are some.

If "X" or "Z" come up, anyone can just use "Xanadu - Olivia Newton-John" or "Zero - Imagine Dragons or Smashing Pumpkins (or whatever band has a Zero song)" to move on with the letters without having to search.

Skipping may confuse others that may come new to the game. They should not get corrected if they happened to enter an "X" or "Z" song .

 No reason for those two letters to have to be different every time.

 So join in. Everyone have fun playing.

[BobH07]

Ok....it's your forum. I wasn't trying to step on anyone's toes. I just enjoy playing.

[BobH07]

I'm sorry you took this so personal, it's just that there are no recognizable songs left that begin with x & z. If the.majority don't want to change it, then you find the songs with those two letters.

[WebWiseWoman]
