...based upon the lyrics.

Like these:

Stooges, "1970" should be "I Feel Alright"
Bob Dylan, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" s/b "Everybody Must Get Stoned"
The Smiths, "Panic" ("Hang The DJ")

Go.

As opposed to taking the time to write that, m?

"Bohemian Rhapsody" should have been "I Really Like Musical Theatre"
"Party Hard" should have been "I Didn't Date Much"
"Rock Your Body" should have been "Remember My Perm?"
"I Can't Stand the Rain" should have been "S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder, Y'all)"
"Living in the Eighties" should have been "I Am Living in the Nineteen Eighties"

It's not "Living in the Eighties". It's simply "Eighties". Get it right.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 30 May 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

No no no he's talking about Freddie Mercury's "Living on my own in the Eighties", which should be called "eado wayeh"

the perfect kiss - i know you know (ugh)
bizarre love triangle - every time i see you falling (ugh ugh)
age of consent - i'm not the kind who likes to tell you ... forget it

"Eighties" should be called "Living in the Eighties" so my lame non-killing joke could work. Its dance 12" version could be called "Calm Down Alex (Always Rising to the Bait Whether or Not It Makes Sense to Do So, WTF, No Agenda Here Jellybean Benitez Mix)."

Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Sunday, 30 May 2004 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Yngwie Malmsteen's "Far Beyond the Sun" should be called "BLORBLRBLRBOLBROBLROBRLBRBOROBOORLBRBORBORLBR"

Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 30 May 2004 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

the REM edition:

9-9 = Conversation Fear
So. Central Rain = I'm Sorry
E-Bow The Letter = Tastes Like Fear
Drive = Rock On Pt 2
Imitation of Life = Driver 8 (2001 mix)

"Karn Evil 9: 1st, 2nd and 3rd Impressions" should be called "Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare, Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.I'll be there I'll be there I will be there.Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed.They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way,Praying for survival at the end of the day.There is no compassion for those who stay.I'll be there I'll be there I will be there There must be someone who can set them free:To take their sorrow from this odyssey To help the helpless and the refugee To protect what's left of humanity. Can't you seeCan't you see Can't you see.I'll be there
I'll be there I will be there;To heal their sorrow To beg and borrow
Fight tommorow.Step inside! Hello! We've the most amazing show You'll enjoy it all we know Step inside! Step Inside!We've got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting cocks. Leave your hammers at the box Come Inside! Come Inside! Roll up! Roll up! Roll up See the show! Left behind the bars, rows of Bishops' heads in jars and a bomb inside a car Spectacular! Spectacular!

Bohemian Rhapsody - Galileo!

An obvious one: 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up" should have been called "What's Going On" ...

Blur - "Song 2" -> "Van Halen Weeps"
