album titles taken from lyrics in the album

*(line up)

Starship - Knee Deep in the Hoopla ("We Built This City")

Shawn Colvin - A Few Small Repairs ("Sunny Came Home")

Dire Straits - Making Movies (I forget which song)

Skateaway.

Six years later, I now know why the two Frischmann-obsessed lesbians who ran the music section of the Lancaster Uni student newspaper used this title of the section. (I mean, they told me what it meant -- the three things you check to see if you have on you before you go to a gig -- but I never knew where they got it. I thought they made it up!)

Simon & Garfunkel - "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" (Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme)
Steely Dan - "Dr. Wu" (Katy Lied)
Walter Egan - "Magnet & Steel" (Not Shy)
Spin Doctors - "Jimmy Olsen's Blues" (Pocket Full Of Kryptonite)
Graham Parker - "Get Started, Start A Fire" (The Mona Lisa's Sister)
Randy Newman - "Dixie Flyer" (Land Of Dreams)
Jefferson Starship - "All Fly Away" (Dragonfly)
Jason Mraz - "Curbside Prophet" (Waiting For My Rocket)
Grateful Dead - "Here Comes The Sunshine" (Wake Of The Flood)

BoDeans Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams from the Stones "Shattered"
Sweet Give Us A Wink from the Beatles "Lovely Rita"
The Knack But The Little Girls Understand from the Doors "Back Door Man"

steely dan can't buy a thrill from dylan's "it takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry"

and "back door man" is a howlin' wolf song, written by willie dixon

Can't Slow Down by Lionel Ritchie.

Only realized that the other day.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - "Brain Damage"

alanis morissette - jagged little pill ("you learn")

The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me ("The Kiss")
The Cure - Wish ("To Wish Impossible Things")

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Peepshow ("Peek-A-Boo")

tom petty & the heartbreakers - hard promises ("insider")

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot ("Poor Places")

XTC had three albums in a row titled after a lyric from the previous album, which I think is pretty cool, though apparently the first two were not on purpose (once it was pointed out to Andy he came up with the title "Apple Venus")

Game Theory - Lolita Nation ("We Love You Carol and Alison")
Game Theory - Two Steps From the Middle Ages ("Rolling With the Moody Girls")
Loud Family - Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things ("He Do the Police in Different Voices")
Loud Family - Days for Days ("Crypto-Sicko")

then there are albums whose titles come from a lyric buried in a *different* artist's song

Loud Family - Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things from America's "A Horse With No Name"

Replacements- Don't Tell A Soul ("We'll Inherit the Earth")

prefab sprout - from langley park to memphis ("the venus of the soup kitchen")

Madonna - You Can Dance ("Into the Groove")

Bow Wow Wow - See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah, City All Over! Go Ape Crazy! ("Jungle Boy")
