the first two contain lyrics tha later became 80's new wave titles, but I'm not sure about the Benatar

1. Golden Earring, "Twilight Zone" -> "Destination Unknown"

2. David Bowie, "Ashes to Ashes" -> "Major Tom"

3. Pat Benatar, "Love Is a Battlefield" -> "?"

I'd never made the "Twilight Zone" - "Destination Unknown" connection, but that's a great observation.  Unfortunately, it's not what I was looking for.  :)

Not the lyrics per se, but the approach to singing them.

And none of them have been in Cliff Clavin's kitchen, either.  But your answer, while true, is not what I was going for.  Something a little more uncommon.  :)

Would it help if I said ABBA's "Knowing Me, Knowing You" would fit as well?

The answer was:

Songs where a section is sung with a spoken echo.

"It's 2am (It's 2am)"

"I've never done good things (I've never done good things) ..."

"We are young (we are young) / Heartache to heartache (Heartache to heartache) ..."

That's a good one, Joe.  I never had a chance to dig up the songs & listen to them all.

OK, here's a new one, since I'm insomniacal tonight:

1. Earth, Wind & Fire, "Shining Star"

2. Jefferson Airplane, "Crown of Creation"

3. Ray, Goodman & Brown, "Special Lady"

But let's make it more fun: If you know it, rather than posting the answer, post another song that would fit the set.

I'm guessing songs with brief a cappella segments; I'm too lazy to think of three more.

Close enough; I was going for "Songs That End With A Capella Segments."
