window songs; songs about windows.

Cleaning Windows by Van is pretty cheerful for him

flying lizards - the window
wire - the other window
cypress hill - from the window of my room
violent femmes - gone out the window
david essex - window (clearest of winners!!)
tom jones - looking out my window

duhhhhh how can i forget george formby straight away!!!!!!!

the formby of course, is a very creepy song indeed. key line: "one day i'm sure"

As soon as I saw this thread title, "Looking Out My Window" by the Jackson 5 got totally stuck in my head.

TO THE WINDOWWWWWWW.... TO THE WAAAAALLLLL!!!!!

(heads to itunes smart playlist...)

Go Away from My Window, Country Teasers
Polygon Window, Polygon Window
Window Sill, Aphex Twin
Windowlicker, Aphex Twin
(no lyrics for above three, sosumi)
Windowstill, Arcade Fire

songs about window SHOPPING (50, hank williams and indeed aphex) i think i'll set aside for the moment. altho maybe they do trade in the same paranoia perhaps.

songs about rain on windows that are more about rain than windows are also disqualified.

George Jones - The Window up Above (more about adultery than Windows though)

cor, i feel like i've heard every second of the jackson 5 already without actually having heard it itself before now. i see they have a window shopping one too.

nilsson's 'open your window' is very happy. maybe ella fitzgerald's version tho.

no, the george jones is cool!! "you must have thought that i was sleeping / and i wish that i had been / but it's best to get to knoooow you / and the way your heart can sin"

like, none of them are actually about windows per se

like, none of them are actually about windows per se

slight derail.... are there any songs about Windows, the much loved operating system?

I guess "How Much Is That Doggy In The Window" is more about the doggy than the window. Or was it about LSD or Freudian theory or something?

My favorite U2 song in a decade: Window In The Skies

I guess "How Much Is That Doggy In The Window" is more about the doggy than the window. Or was it about LSD or Freudian theory or something?

it is about keeping her lonely love occupied while she's gone, apparently. although only wikipedia has dared to presume it's so he doesnt "look for affection from another woman"

also the b-side was called 'MY JEALOUS EYES' hem hem

Creepy :

How much is that doggie in the window,
The one with the waggly tail?
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale.

I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone;
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome,
And the doggie will have a good home.

Repeat Refrain:

I read in the paper there are robbers
With flashlights that shine in the dark;
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark.

I don't want a bunny or a kitty,
I don't want a parrot that talks;
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for walks.

Smog - Teenage Spaceship

-- If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport,

yeah man sorry if this isnt up to the awesomely high standard of i eat once a day and lp storage question, fairly specific

Burt Bacharach - "The Windows Of The World"

how surpised wz i to be reminded that nas ('project windows') couldnt keep away from this topic either

(Chorus)
Lookin' out of my project window
Oh, I feel uninspired
Lookin' out of my project window
Oh, it makes me feel, so tired

ah right this is the one with that oversubscribed "At night the windows were speakers, pumpin' life out" lyric!! yeah ok, it can stay.

The smashing pumpkins - window paine?

that's just a bad pun

the microsoft sound - brian eno

The best window song is obviously Roy's Keen by Morrissey.

Tom Waits - Rosie "I'm sitting on a windowsill blowing my horn"

Thought it's honestly probably about masturbation.

Touche. But let the record show those were both most likely started on the weekend as well. Just because I'm not blameless doesn't make it any less an epidemic. Death to the mundane!

Aceyalone - "The Walls and Windows"

the real people 'window pane'

Time Toy "Windowsill"
Josh Clayton-Felt "Window"

"windows"--Boxbury Beat

GBV - Smothered in Hugs

(chorus)
but i believed you
no need for further questioning
i'm gonna leave with you
you can teach me all you know
which way will we go now
on our trip to taller windows
i really don't know now
i really don't know

"just my imagination" - temptations / the rolling stones / et al

At one time my choices of what to play used to be about what ws happening when I looked outside (sure that's true to many). BUT it only counted if there were raindrops on a window or a fierce thunderstorm, its just way that drops had when running into a grimy window. If it ws sunny it actually didn't matter as much (so yes to sad and pensive)

anymore 'window pa(i)ne' ones?!

"out the window" - yo la tengo"
"sitting by the window" - moby grape

Tina Turner, Steeeaammy Windows

"Cars hiss by my window"- the doors
maybe not about windows. and i don't know how a car can hiss, but i digress

Coil - Windowpane
