A List of Lists
These are songs that are composed primarily of lists:
Women the singer has slept with: 88 Lines About 44 Women (The Nails) People Who Died People Who Died (The Jim Carroll Band) Momentous events and people from the first 40 years of Billy Joel's life We Didn't Start the Fire (Billy Joel) Texans in love with dying Pepper (Butthole Surfers) Add your own favorites to the list! |
Re: A List of Lists
Well there's the original that most of these owe a debt of gratitude to:
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues And its notable children REM - It's the End of the World as We know it (And I feel fine) Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Tokyo Storm Warning |

The "David Booie" part gets me each time. :lol:
personally I like singing to it, (by myself) and adding other non-sensical names to the list just for grins. |
Re: A List of Lists
I've never heard of Mylo before, but for me, the best part of the song isn't "David Booie" -- it's "Cyndi Looper."
Now that I've heard that and Losing My Edge, I am reminded of a couple of other songs that are or include lists of other artists or songs: Rocket -- Def Leppard R.O.C.K in the U.S.A. -- John Cougar Mellencamp Life is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me) -- Reunion |

Re: A List of Lists
Philip Lynott "Talk In 79" from his Solo in Soho album:
The Clash were headed for a head on collision Crash for complete control The Pistols left behind a swindle and a scandal That nobody wished to handle Sham 69 were left in a shambles Generation X was next Elvis and Nick Lowe They had a go With the help of the Attractions And Joe Jackson said it wasn't his style Dave Edmunds survived alive On top of a Rockpile Devo didn't know if they were men Because they couldn't get no satisfaction The Rats were caught in their own trap Steve Strange began to change Ultravox had a system Kraftwerk nearly beat them And the Yellow Magic Orchestra missed them Eno rose for Lowe The Slits became rasta And the Buzzcocks played faster and faster with adrenalin John Cooper Clarke he was smart The Public Image became Limited The Police were re-released and came out as a three-piece The Rocky Horror Show became the history of tomorrow Nina Hagen, she was a German maiden And the music press revealed their anger When threatened by the Stranglers This broadcast was brought to you in 1979 I'm just talking to you over these waves Not just about another time and another place And before we knew it The old wave was gone and controlled |
