Song TwoFers
(Updated below)
Or whatever they're called. A pair of songs that are usually played back-to-back when aired on the radio. Example: Queen's We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions. You know, songs so often played consecutively that some think they're really one song.
Here are some examples that immediately came to my mind:
- The Cars' Moving In Stereo/ All Mixed Up
- The Cars' Shoo Be Doo/Candy-O
- Def Leppard's Bringin' On The Heartbreak/Switch 625
- Boston's Foreplay/Longtime
- The aforementioned Queen
- Pink Floyd's Brain Damage/Eclipse
- The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/With A Little Help From My Friends
Any others?
UPDATE: additions from email/comments that I agree with:
- Van Halen: Eruption/You Really Got Me
- Green Day: Brain Stew/Jaded
- Led Zeppelin: Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid
- Journey: Feeling that Way/Anytime (can't believe I forgot that one)
- Elton John: Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid (She's A Woman)
For the longest time I thought that was one song.

Yeah, the Led Zep is a great example, as is Brain Stew/Jaded. American Idiot, no... if we go that route, then half of Rush's stuff could qualify (the numerous parts to 2112, for example).

You dope, that's why I said "hee"... I know American Idiot doesn't qualify!

This is some quaint American custom, right?
This explains why I stick to UK radio when I'm in the US. ;P

Journey - Feeling that Way/Anytime

Ooh, and that Elton John one. Funeral for a Friend and Love Lies Bleeding.
And I am not sure that Simon and Garfunkel's Old Friends/Bookends count since it's always on the same track on the cd, but I am putting it out there for completeness's sake.

Cary also suggested Funeral/Bleeding, so there you go. And the Journey song(s) was an obvious one that I forgot. Not sure about S&G, but then sometimes the Foreplay/Longtime is listed as one track, and same with the Elton John. This is getting way to complicated

Queen's "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" are two songs?!?
