Temptation ?: New Order, Heaven 17, Wet Wet Wet....just off the top of my head. What's odd is that the first two were only about a year apart in the charts.

There are a dozen different songs named "Two Hearts". I can think of several "Hearts on Fire" too: Steve Winwood, Bryan Adams, Genesis, Gram Parsons... Allmusic.com could probably summon up a multitude of songs with the same title; just search for tired cliches.

we did this about a month ago! I nominated "Love Song" - hundreds of hits on AMG's database.

Damn! I was just going to suggest that one myself!

I vote for "Lady"

Styx, Kenny Rogers, Little River Band, Supertramp, D'angelo, T. Rex, Sandy Denny ... and Stryper.

It has to be "Forever", I can't think of many but I am sure that has been used by practically everyone....

― Richard, Tuesday, 29 October 2002 20:34 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm sticking with "Tonight".

Most overused, slightly arcane song title: Ship of Fools

― dave225 (Dave225), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 13:37 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd have to say "Wish You Were Here." There's Pink Floyd, Incubus, The Get Up Kids..They're all good songs, but geez, be more creative

― Kahla, Thursday, 31 October 2002 01:23 (twenty-three years ago)

agreed, Kate, "I Want You" might win the prize

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 31 October 2002 03:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Why are there so many songs either titled or mentioning a "Spy in the House of Love?" It means nothing as far as I can tell.

― paul cox (paul cox), Thursday, 31 October 2002 05:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Every early 90s shoegazing indie band had a song called "Falling", or "Falling Down".

It was the law.
