279: Songs That Start with the Title Part 3
The conclusion of Jeff's look at select songs that get right to the point, in revealing their titles in the opening vocal, from select artists and bands from the letters R to Zed, starting in the nineties, with Radiohead, and reflecting back to Part 1 in which it was revealed probably for the first time ever (we've not seen it anywhere before) how many Beatles songs start with the title and this time by comparison we’ll investigate how many times the Rolling Stones did it. The difference is BIG. Plus hear the last song Joey Ramone listened to in his lifetime, and two Neil Young songs he'd soften on over time, but we won't, and we'll head to Texas to learn the whereabouts of Jesus ;)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
