uno:
The Who - Song Is Over
Sting - Love Is the Seventh Wave
Paul McCartney - Nineteen Hundred Eighy Five
knowing how difficult your quizzes are, I can't believe the connection is simply that there are numbers in each song. Right?
-
dos:
James Brown - Papa's Got A Brand New Bag
Johnny Horton - Battle Of New Orleans
America - Ventura Highway
The keyword here is alligator!

Thanks for giving us easy ones to start with, Mark!
uno:
The Who - Song Is Over
Sting - Love Is the Seventh Wave
Paul McCartney - Nineteen Hundred Eighy Five
all 3 quote from other songs by the same artist:
Song is Over / Pure & Easy
Love is the 7th... / Every Breath You Take
1985/ Jet
dos:
James Brown - Papa's Got A Brand New Bag
Johnny Horton - Battle Of New Orleans
America - Ventura Highway
all 3 mention alligators!
tres:
Warren Zevon - Werewolves Of London
Bob Seger - Old Time Rock And Roll
Beach Boys - Kokomo
not sure on this one... the Seger & Beach Boys songs were in Tom Cruise movies (Risky Business & Cocktail, respectively) but I can't tie in "Werewolves" with Tom Cruise, and I can't remember if it was used in Amer Werewolf in London to make it a film trifecta.

Well, if that's true, then the connection is cocktails. I didn't know about the Cocktail movie, but the Werewolf was "Drinking a Pina Colada down a Trader Vic's" and there were mentions of cocktails in Kokomo as well.

What are, "Three songs I never need to hear again," Alex?
-
uno = Mike
dos = Geoff
tres = Mike, but you talked yourself out of it. You mean you really don't know what movie Tom Cruise danced around to Werewolves of London in? Hint: someone else won an Oscar in this film.
-
Geoff... how did your 2 posts dated Saturday just jump into this thread -- I swear they weren't there yesterday when I posted my answers!

Hmm... that means either Color of Money or Rainman and it's been a while since I've seen either.
-
then you gotta watch Color Of Money again sometime soon. Newman is fantastic (although he was better in The Verdict, but how ya gonna beat Ben Kingsley's Ghandi that year?).
In the flick, Fast Eddie, Vincent & Carmen walk into a joint only to discover that the great Grady Seasons is in there. Fast Eddie tells Vincent to take a dive so that the odds on him in Atlantic City will skyrocket, but when Vincent sees that Grady is a real condescending SOB he gets his Irish up & goes off, making shot after shot while dancing around the table to "Werewolves of London", even miming to the 'and-his-hair-was-perfect' line. Of course Fast Eddie cuts him off afterwards & they don't meet again until Atlantic City.
One of these days when Dave plays a 'strictly instrumental' set we gotta get him to play the Knopfler tune from this soundtrack called "Two Brothers And A Stranger" named for one of the scams they play in the film.

Ah, now I remember.
Newman was great, but he had been given an honorary Oscar the year before, and I really thought Bob Hoskins deserved the award for Mona Lisa. But sentiment will out.
Guess I'm really anti-sentiment today, eh?

ok, no takers. all three songs reference the album title in the lyrics:
alphabet street (lovesexy)
can't ignore the train (the wishing chair)
she lives in my lap (the love below)

Sorry, I didn't know any of those, but I have a list of over twenty songs in that category. Now it'll be more like 25.
It just occurred to me what we can call such a non-title title track: an Alison (after the Elvis Costello tune).
