If Paul Had Written the Song . . .

[prozach]

. . . it would have been called:

"Broken Arms"

"My Heart Won't Go On"

" Don't Worry, Be Suicidal"

Any others?

I'm sorry, I can't think of song titles right because that top 40 list has totally depressed me. Outside of the great Outkast (w/ possible other exceptions for No Doubt, Jay-Z and Maroon 5) these songs all suck. A lot. This is a truly crappy cross-section of music. Ugh.

I'm still getting over the fact that out of that Top 40 list I only know about 10 of the artists.

That song would be nothing without Lil Jon.

[kgp]

I cheated and mined The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits for song titles. (and my volume stops at 1995, which was long after I stoped listening to the radio) Anyway..

"Get a Job"- Silhouettes = "Get a Goddam Job"
"La La Means I Love You"- Delfonics = "Na Na Na Na Means I Love You"
"My Name Is Prince"- Prince = "My Name Is Paul (Something Went Wrong)"
"More Money For You And Me" -Four Preps = "More Money For You and Me"
"Get Off Of My Cloud"- Stones = " Hey Ryan Get Off My F*cking Cloud Before I Kick Your Teeth In!!"
"All By Myself"- Eric Carmen = oh, wait.....
