C90: The pinball songs

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Okay, I'm trying to make a full 90 minutes of songs that mention pinball. Here's what I have so far:

The Who
White Stripes - Hand Springs
Tom Waits - A Sight for Sore Eyes
Mountain Goats - You're in Maya

Looks like I need about twenty more. I was kind of hoping that Jonathan Richman had a song mentioning pinball, but I can't find any.

Thanks in advance if anyone has any suggestions.

does the cover version count as an extra song? ;-)

If I can't find enough to fill the tape, it'll do.

Some Hardfloor 'concept' album the title of which I forget. Might make the tape slightly disjointed, but I don't think you can be too choosy at this point

Though you can't expect the Hardfloor tracks to actually "mention pinball", since they have no vocals, if I remember correctly.

Kraftwerk - It's More Fun to Compute

Inspired by pinball machines encountered by Kraftwerk on US Tours which used the slogan "It's More Fun to Compete"

Back in like the early 90s, Motley Crue had some songs on the pinball video game Crue Ball (for the Genesis, i think), but I don't know if they made any original songs for it.
