Theme 403a - Twin titles - Pick two songs which are different, but have the same title - Fishy_Jim - VOTING - closed MIDNIGHT Sunday November 26th

[Val]

Jim has helpfully qualified his theme with : If you find two songs with the same title, except one has an additional subtitle in brackets, I'll accept that as well. A hint if you have trouble: Kylie has a number of tracks which share titles with other artists' work. We've had quite a bit of discussion on this theme and the majority seemed to feel we could split it into two rounds so, at present, the next round will be exactly the same. I can still move it to later if you would prefer.

Theme 403b - Twin titles - Pick another two songs which are different, but have the same title. - Jim
Theme 404 - Around and about - songs which feature either of the words "around" or "about" - Val
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 1
Up on Dec 10, nominations close Dec 17; voting closes Dec 24
I've allowed one week for nominations and another week for voting just because the Festive Season can get busy.
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 2
Up on Dec 25, nominations close Jan 1; voting closes Jan 7
I've allowed one week for nominations and another week for voting just because the Festive Season can get busy.
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 3 (finishes Sunday January 14)

And I can still change the dates for nominations and voting for the Winter Cream of 2023 if you would prefer.

We are getting pretty desperate for new ideas so please add your thoughts at:

Well, I've got a list of ten of these to chose from already, not counting a Ken Dodd/Kylie combo which I discarded as just plain ridiculous. If you're having trouble, single word titles are the way to go.

Rain - The Beatles

Hi Jim - I’ve got 2 song titles the same but one has a ‘A’ at the front of it, will that be acceptable? 🤪

Hi Jemma,
Sorry I didn't get back to you. I've had a bit of a fraught week with water ingress in my basement flat. For future reference, I'll accept the indefinite article preceding the main words in the title.

Time's up! Here's the results. Tight at the top!

1st: Tim with Shadowplay (Joy Division) on 21 votes
2nd: Fishy_Jim with Rain (The Beatles) on 20 votes
3rd: Jemma with It’s Too Late (Carole King) on 15 votes.

A wooden spoon makes its way to Duke for Heartbreaker (Grand Funk Railroad) although a few of us were lucky that one poster found our nomination worthy of a vote!
