This or That: Simular Song Titles


The Owl

Recommended Posts

Here is a little game I want to play. It is a this or that, but the songs you pick have to have the same title (or simular), but ARE NOT COVERS.

 

 

The first choices should give you a good idea.......

 

 

"Changes" by David Bowie

 

vs

 

"Changes" by Black Sabbath

 

 

 

(see two completly diffrent songs, just a simular title.)

Mabey I didn't make this entirely clear.....but I though the "This or That" would imply it.

 

 

 

You have to pick a winner from the songs that the poster above you posted, before you post your two songs.............

There's a VERY popular Italian song from the 80s called Gloria. I'm pretty sure Branigan's song is an Anglisized (sp?) cover. The Doors' Gloria is also a cover of a Them (Van Morrison) song if I'm not mistaken.

 

Collective Soul had a huge hit in the early 90s with a song called Shine as well.

You are perfectly right: the original Gloria is by italian (cheesy) singer-songwriter Umberto Tozzi.

You can listen and feast your eyes here:

Laura Branigan's is simply a cover with english lyrics. And it was bazillionly succesful in Italy too.

 

Turn the page by Bob Seeger

 

 

 

Prime Mover by Rush

 

vs

 

Prime Mover by Zodiac Mindwarp

Are you all a bit dim or something? wacko.gif

 

The Owl has clearly posted several times the objective of this thread, which is to choose two similar song titles by different bands.

 

The next person then has to pick a winner and come up with two of their own etc etc
