Tempting to say "incorrect" song titles, but obviously the artists had their reasons. I'll start it off with two. You get the idea... Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 = Everybody Must Get Stoned (or Stone You) Theme from Mahogany = Do You Know Where You're Goin' To |

THose are the actual titles, most people just associate the song with the chorus. Escape = Pina Colada - Rupert Holmes. The name eventually got changed to Escape (The Pina Colada Song) through the record company. |

Lon - That was the first song that came to mind for me too. The first time I tried to find that song for patrons it was a nightmare. I never knew the real title was "Escape". |

I have several: "Art is Calling for Me", also known as "I Want to Be a Prima Donna" or also simply "Prima Donna Song" (Hey, a triple name) "Quando m'en vo", also known as Musette's Waltz from "La Boheme" "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" which uses the same melody as "The Alphabet Song" (really)--- Not really if this is what the topic is after. There are others, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment |

Yeh, the original poster was listing songs that have a "wrong" title, and what the title "should" be Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 = Everybody Must Get Stoned (or Stone You) Theme from Mahogany = Do You Know Where You're Goin' To Dream Baby (Roy Orbison) = Sweet Dream, Baby |

The Roof Is On Fire - "Fire, Water, Burn" What's Going On - "What's Up?" To The Left - "Irreplaceable" The first is what I'll see on the slip. The second is what I need to pull up because it's the actual song title. If a women asks for "What's Going On" I usually assume she's not doing Marvin Gaye. Usually. There's one big one but I just can't think of it right now. It will come to me tonight when I bring up the lists. |

What's even worse are song titles that are exactly the same as other song titles but not by the same artist if the requester does not put either the disc number or artist you could really be confused. Such as Again - Alice In Chains Again - Janet Jackson Again - Lenny Kravitz Again - Mel Torme All the same title but not the same song. There are many more. Lone Wolf |

Please Share My Umbrella - "Bus Stop" (The Hollies) The first is what I'll see on the slip. The second is what I need to pull up because it's the actual song title. (thanks for clarifying, Bill) |

I'm sure you know this, but the actual lyric is, "They paved paradise, put up a parking lot." |

Actually I didn't.... I've never sung the song, and that's what it sounded like to me... but that's another topic thread. Thanks for the correction. |

I have heard several of the songs mentioned in this thread called by the 'wrong' names. A couple of others I've seen confuse people are -The Four Tops-Cant Help Myself(usually referred to as Sugar Pie Honey Bunch or similar). -Hot Chocolate-You Sexy Thing (heard it asked for as I Believe In Miricals) And then there's Jame's Brown-Mans Mans Mans Mans World...how many men's world IS it, anyway? That's a song that I called by the 'wrong' name. |

[font=Verdana] At last Friday’s gig, a girl comes up to me, her friend is home from Iraq and she wants to sing and dedicate a song to him. Keep in mind I had a lot of lookups on this night and was feeling kind of rushed. Anyway, she wants to sing, “Proud To Be An American”, okay, cue up the next singer and start looking in the book, it’s not there, darn. Cue up the next singer, maybe it’s “I’m Proud To Be An American” back to the book, nope not there, Then I start singing the song in my head and the light flashes……Oh! God Bless The USA Yes, I felt kind of stupid, but like I said with all the lookups, plus feedback problem, I was rushed. I had one guy, don’t know whether he had a problem with reading, or had left his glasses at home, but had to look up every song for him. He was one of just a few good singers, so I didn’t complain.

Paranoid (Black Sabbath) Paranoid, anyone who has asked to sing this has named it by name. |
