Those of you on Twitter may have seen the #songprequel trending topic, wherein the idea was to post titles of songs that came before actual songs. Much hilarity ensued!
With a hat tip to
- Young Brown’s Mother
- Acting Third Lieutenant Taylor
- The Day Pat Murphy Got Sick
- Nagging Girlfriend
- Showing Up At the Kitchen Party With Mrs. White
Dara and Paul and I also came up with these:
- Alice Cooper’s “Welcome to My Bedtime” and “School is Just Starting”
- Simon and Garfunkel’s “Construction Crew Arriving at Bank of Troubled Water”
- Elvis Presley’s “(You Ain’t Nothin’ But a) OMG PUPPY” and “I’ll Do Anything to Get Into Some Blue Suede Shoes”
- Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the Colonies, I Was”
- The Day the Music Bought a Cheap Ticket on a Small Plane in Bad Weather
- Slightly Darker than Usual Day of the Heart
- Radio Killed the Vaudeville Star
- From O Brother, Where Art Thou?, “Boy of Periodic Sadness”
- Kenny Rogers’ “You Picked a Fine Time for Our First Date, Lucille”
- Duran Duran’s “Peckish Like the Wolf Cub”
- Kiss Him Hello (may be more obvious if you sing “na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, HELLO”)
- And last but definitely not least, from Dr. Horrible, “Misbehaving Pony Solo”
