The Song Title Appreciation/Continuation thread

[elanfan]

How about a thread where a song title is posted up (with band in brackets) and you have to follow on with another song title that contains a word from the first? Only rule I can think of is no smart arse thread ending titles - as that sort of defeats the object right! Oh and no arguments about who did the original or better version it’s meant to be fun. Let’s see where this goes.

An example: Waterloo! (Abba) the next post might be Waterloo Sunset (The Kinks)

Let’s start with: A Day in the Life (The Beatles)

Next...

This thread has been brilliant for some of the songs it’s thrown up some great reminders other stuff intrigues so you go and have a listen on you tube. The thread was started by me but it’s not mine as such as you lot have made it what it is I don’t think it’s for me to be posting rules or new rules. All I’d say is the intention was to continue using a complete word from the previous title and I’d ‘prefer’ it continued that way. More of a challenge I’d say too - it would be relatively easy to take At from Dominate to get a new totally different title much more challenging to find the entire word in another song

Just my 2p please carry on however you see fit and thanks for everyone’s input. I’ll shut up now!
