Another project: songs with the artist's name in the title
R H Draney
Me", where the name of the group or artist (or at least a substantial chunk of
it) is in the title of the song...I wasn't able at that time to make a set of
ten without resorting to such tricks as "The Monkees Theme" but I've added a few
since then...if I can flesh it out a little more I may be able to make a mix CD
of such tunes...here's what I've got so far:
"Bad Company" - Bad Company
"In A Big Country" - Big Country
"You Don't Mess Around With Jim" - Jim Croce
"Bo Diddley" - Bo Diddley
"Lucas With The Lid Off" - Lucas
"Killer Queen" - Queen
"S Club Party" - S Club 7
"Stray Cat Strut" - Stray Cats
"Who Are You" - The Who
I did originally have "Stars On 45 Medley" by Stars On 45, but I ran into a
problem because the group was listed as Starsound some places outside the
US...also, the one you're probably thinking of right now is called "Jocko Homo",
not "We Are Not Men, We Are Devo"....
So, any more to add....r
