Perhaps I Can Initial It (Song Titles That Share Yours...)

Message Bookmarked

Stole this from a friend's FB post this morning: "What's your favorite song that shares your initials?"

You can decide whether or not you want to include your middle name (if you have one), and also whether or not articles/prepositions count.

My answer for PD, after checking my hard drive: either Toots & the Maytals' "Pressure Drop" or Ravi Shankar's "Pahari Dhun." And if you ignore the preposition, "Panic in Detroit."

All-Boy, All-Girl would be the easy choice but it feels like cheating, those hyphens are doing all the work.
So I'll say Astro Ager by Yann Tomita off the dome, and if someone can think of a really good song that includes my middle initial (which is as the other 2) I'll be impressed.

Agree about the hyphens. I mentioned to a friend, SW, that Yo La Tengo's "Superstar-Watcher" was cheating a bit.

Big Star - Morpha Too

is all I got

I may sometimes chime in with personal favourites: "Making Time" (the Creation), "Minor Threat," "Mystery Train."

"Jealous Guy" i guess?

honestly doing a quick regep there's not much. um. kitten's lullaby by roger limb? seriously i don't really know any all-time bangers with my initials, particularly if you include my middle initial.

Top Long.
If we're allowed 'The' then well it's not my favourite but I can't just ignore The Ledge!

Thus Sang Freud, I browsed through song titles on songfacts: https://www.songfacts.com/browse/songs/j

Favorite: Hayley Williams - Dead Horse

Among my least favorite songs of all time, but it includes my middle initial so I guess I'm stuck with it forever now: Meghan Trainor - Dear Future Husband

I can't go through sixty pages but - Tainted Love

cannot find anything for JE. There's a song called "Jesus and Elvis" and if it were called "Jesus Meets Elvis" then that would work with my middle name, but it isn't.

This is Dance Anthems, have some respect (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 6 June 2024 12:59 (one year ago)

It was between "My Girl" and "Medicated Goo"

I can arrange everything on my hard drive alphabetically, otherwise I'd never be able to figure out sometime like this. For WC above, "Walking Contradiction" is the one Green Day song I love.

i don't have much of a database but there's wilco's "jesus, etc.", and bayless rose has a track called "jamestown exhibition", if one is into classic american primitive guitar.
