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:

  1. The Cars' Moving In Stereo/ All Mixed Up
  2. The Cars' Shoo Be Doo/Candy-O
  3. Def Leppard's Bringin' On The Heartbreak/Switch 625
  4. Boston's Foreplay/Longtime
  5. The aforementioned Queen
  6. Pink Floyd's Brain Damage/Eclipse
  7. The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/With A Little Help From My Friends
Now, granted, you don't always hear these back to back, but you usually do (and especially did when the songs in question were new).

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

The One About The Marmot

Several days ago I came upon a polecat, a ferret if you will (and even if you won't), sunning himself on the pavement behind a 7-11 in my neighborhood.

"Well, hello there, Mr. Ferret", I said.

The ferret said nothing in return (being a dumb animal and all), and instead returned my greeting made in good cheer and fellowship with what I swear was a look of contempt on its weasel-like face.

I looked for a nearby rock with which to chunk at said rodent, but found nothing but half-degraded cigarette filters and mutilated Big Gulp(tm) lids. Realizing I'd met my match, I shoved my hands in my pockets and walked home, forcing thoughts of gloating polecats out of my mind.

It was hard.

But I digress.

The point is, just what the hell is a marmot? Anyway, here's another tune:

Make It Last

(a favorite of C i n d y ' s, so it has that going for it).

Just A Test

My dear wife and I wrote a song together a few years ago. I like it fine, but really this is a test to see how this method of streaming audio works on Blogger, because I don't want/am too cheap to pay for a monthly account at Hipcast.com or what have you.
