SONG TITLE WORD ASSOCIATION

[nyadrn]

Okay

This is meant to be a long running topic .  The rules are simple and there are a zillion songs out there, so lets see what we can do with this.

You start with a song title.  Let's use  Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith

You look at that title, pick out one word from it and find a new song title with that word in it,( example, In & Out of Love - Bon Jovi)  then post the new title as your post.  The next person follows.   See easy

So lets give it a try.    My title is   Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith.

gatorgorilla ... good job! After posting that, I was a little worried how we were going to get out of that one!

  millineutron:  I was contemplating shouting "Uncle", then figured I better concentrate on "rhapsody" and not "bohemian"!  This Song Title thread has been running way too long - I didn't want to be the one to bring it to an end!  (It would have made you quite the champ, however, so you can savor what you almost accomplished, I guess!)    

And an additional thought:  there are a lot of resourceful people posting here, so someone would have met your challenge, had I not done so!

gatorgorilla-- there's also Rhapsody in the Rain by Lou Christie, which I wasn't familiar with because it was banned in 1966! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdKzdO0ItsE

millineutron:

Thank you for this post & the link to Lou Christie's RHAPSODY IN THE RAIN.

I just listened to it & was LOL  - imagining that song being banned in 1966!  I am not too surprised that it was banned, but boy have standards been blown wide open in this country since then!  (In Spring of 1966 I graduated from high school, so am using that to put the song in context, in my mind...)

Congrats on becoming a Social Butterfly!  (I have not figured out how one moves along & qualifies for the upgrades in classification;  it does not seem to be tied strictly to the number of posts a person has made.)  Kinda silly, but it's fun to  notice you've moved up a notch in your ranking...

Sorry to jump back in out of turn, but couldn't resist -- one of the most amazing John Lennon vocals ever!

Woohoo! Thanks, nyadrn, for that lead in to another Steve Winwood song! 

gatorgorilla--I know! Compared to what's on the radio today, "ooh, making love in the storm, sha la la la la" seems ridiculously tame, and definitely a metaphor for lost innocence. I love the line, "The windshield wipers seemed to say Together, Together!"
