Same Name, Different Song: Vol. 5


If you're onto my game, this is more of the same. If you don't know the score, let me show you what for. These songs right here share a title, you see? But the songs are all different, it's plain as can be. This is part 5 – see, I've done 4 before these. And before this week's over, I may do even more these. Okay, so that last rhyme was forced if not absent. But let's not harp on that, 'cuz you know what I meant. I hope you'll enjoy these – I can't always tell. I like 'em, so even if you don't, oh well!  ~  JH

Same Name, Different Song: Vol. 4

I warned you a couple of weeks ago that there may be more of these posts, which feature completely different songs sharing the same song titles. And here they are! As before, I encourage your input as to which of the two songs (or three, in a couple of cases here) you prefer. If you like these kinds of posts, you're in luck – I'm already working on Vol. 5! If you hate these kinds of posts, well, you'll probably hate the ones to come as well. Enjoy?  ~  JH

"Second" Songs

I was going to do a short miniseries of posts with the words "First," "Second," "Third," and so forth in the titles. But as it turns out, I've already done "First" songs previously (in a "First" & "Last" Songs post), and "Third" songs and beyond are pretty hard to come by. So here's a small selection of "Second" songs. Enjoy?  ~  JH

2)  LIGHTS  ~  "Second Go"




3)  Eddie Rabbitt  ~  "On Second Thought"




4)  Shalamar  ~  "The Second Time Around"




5)  Faber Drive  ~  "Second Chance"




6)  Smokey Robinson & The Miracles  ~  "I Second That Emotion"




7)  38 Special  ~  "Second Chance"




8)  El DeBarge  ~  "Second Chance"




9)  Jeff Bates  ~  "One Second Chance"




10)  TV On The Radio  ~  "Second Song"
