A-Z of names in song titles
We set ourselves an office challenge. Could we go from A-Z of people’s names in song titles? Here’s our results, no Google was involved, we didn’t once look up iTunes or Spotify (OK, we did once for ‘u’, but that was it, honest guv) and we resisted the temptation to just use all the song titles from Kelly Jones’ (Stereophonics) solo album Only The Names Have Been Changed.
There’s some pretty big acts in this list: Blur, McCartney, Nirvana, David Bowie, Arctic Monkeys, Elton John, Prince, Radiohead, The Police, Blondie – check them all out below:
