What songs do you have on your IPod that you think nobody else has?

[esdras]

4. Run Runaway by Slade

I not only have the Slade version, but the remake by Great Big Sea (Canadian Celtic Rock band)

I have a bunch of others that are not so obscure, but I'll still be surprised to hear someone else has:

Clones/Alice Cooper

Six was having problems adjusting to his clone status - best line of that song. Got it too.

Turning Japanese - the Vapors

I was gonna post that one myself as a potential "nobody else has this" - listened to it this morning.

Okay - my turn to see if any others have these:

Nature Trail to Hell (In 3-D) - Wierd Al Yankovic
Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant
When You're Falling - Afro Celt Soundsystem (With guest vocalist Peter Gabriel)
Crying in the Rain - A-ha
I Love America - Alice Cooper
Dyslexia - Alice Cooper
No Man's Land - Alice Cooper
See What Tomorrow Brings - Arc Angels
Turn Up the Radio - Autograph
Tarzan Boy - Baltimora
Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers
The Great Song of Indifference - Bob Geldof

Ah Leah - Donnie Iris
Lend Your Love to Me Tonight - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Scatterlings of Africa - Johnny Clegg & Savuka
The Friends of Mr. Cairo - Jon and Vangelis
Uninvited Guest - Marillion
EVERY SONG - Michael Penn (all studio released albums plus a couple of live tracks - most people forget about Sean Penn's musically gifted brother - he's also somewhat overshadowed by his wife - Aimee Mann)
One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head
Armageddon - Prism
Spaceship Superstar - Prism
Human Touch - Rick Springfield
Dirty Water - Rock & Hyde (re-released under the band's original name - The Payola$)
Radio Waves - Roger Waters

Heavy Metal (Takin' A Ride) - Don Felder
Cry Little Sister (Lost Boys Soundtrack) - Gerard McMann
Sax and Violins - Talking Heads
The Adversary - Crime and the City Solution
Fretless - R.E.M.
Days - Elvis Costello
Humans from Earth - T-Bone Burnett
True - Spandau Ballet
Istanbul (Not Constantinople) - They Might Be Giants - OOPS, didn't notice this was already mentioned
Heart and Soul - T'Pau


Okay - that's waaaayyyy too many - but I'm sure that few of them are unique - but I'd be curious to know who has some of these "less well known" tunes out there!

 

[esdras]

Thought of some more:

The Carpenters - full collection
Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck of the Gordon Fitzgerald

Just an FYI - it's the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Great song though!

 

[Rock'n Robin]

I do! I have "Saturday Night" and a couple of other Bay City Rollers. I also have "Goody Two shoes"-remember that video? Wow! He was hot.
I forgot my teen idol stuff--Partridge family, Bobby Sherman, etc.

[wowsmom]

ETA ~ We are going to add (if we can find them)
Istanbul (Not Constantinople) ~ They Might Be Giants
various songs from Animaniacs

You can find Istanbul on iTunes! We got it a couple months ago - DS14 loves it!

I'd say 2 things I have that I doubt anyone else does (other than my son) are an album by the Momus Trombone Quartet and an album by a group of London trombonists, that includes 76 Trombones played by 76 trombones.

Great song though!

I swear I knew that. I don't why I wrote that! I must have been thinking "Gordon Lightfoot" and that is why. I swear I knew it was Edmund...lol.

I kinda thought that might have been the case. Could have been worse - you could have posted:

Edmund Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Gordon Fitzgerald

Or

Fitzgerald Lightfoot - The Wreck fo the Gordon Edmund

Or

Uh, never mind!

Right now, I'm listening to "In The Ghetto" by Elvis. I'm pretty sure that is not a popular tune.

Cool!

Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers
No One Is To Blame - Howard Jones
Uninvited Guest - Marillion
Human Touch - Rick Springfield
Heart and Soul - T'Pau

I only have those. I have a friend who loves Great Big Sea. I know very little of them. And WHERE did you find "Tarzan Boy"??? I have been trying to find that!

 

[esdras]

Cool!

Okay, out of all that I posted, I really didn't expect anyone else to have T'Pau. That's fantastic!

In terms of Tarzan Boy - I got the original single (play time 3:50) from Canada's Puretracks music site - they offer it in .mp3 version. I also have an extended version (play time 6:09) - back from the old winMX days.

 

[Diznygrl]

Right now I'm doing the Computer Chair Boogie to "The Sun is Gonna Surely Shine" (aka the theme from 'Blossom').

Have it.

That's my problem. I don't live in Canada!

It took me a while to find all of "Heart and Soul". The first version I got off some 80's compilation thing. Then I finally found the version with ALL of the first verse. The first version I had cuts off the "The tear in my heart as you walk on by... etc etc" until the chorus. I was so happy when I got the whole song.

That's my problem. I don't live in Canada!

I have two versions of "Heart and Soul". The first version I got off some 80's compilation thing. Then I finally found the version with ALL of the first verse. The first version I had cuts off the "The tear in my heart as you walk on by... etc etc" until the chorus. I was so happy when I got the whole song.

Yeah, well that's just a problem for everyone who doesn't!

I have one I don't think any one else has...

Ben- Michael Jackson

DS liked my Jackson 5 CD when he was little. One of his best friends is named Ben, so he thought it was funny......then I told him it's about a rat He still likes to sing it at the top of his lungs lol.

I was reading the "ringtone" thread and figured that nobody else would have my ringtones. So that made me wonder... what songs do you have on your IPod that you think aren't very popular?

Some unique songs by popular artists:
1. Midnight in Chelsea by Jon Bon Jovi
2. Out in the Street by Bruce Springsteen (reminds me of Lujack from Guiding Light... *sigh*)
3. Can'tcha Say You Believe In Me by Boston

Some songs that I would think might not be very popular:
1. I Wish I Had a Girl by Henry Lee Summer
2. All I Need by Jack Wagner
3. I've Been Thinking About You by Londonbeat
4. Run Runaway by Slade

All I need by Jack Wagner Oh my how I loved Frisco Jones on Genereal Hospital back in the day...thanks for the memory

 

[misskrystal]

I have a few unusual cover versions on my Ipod -

I Am The Walrus - Jim Carrey

[aprilvaca04]

The songs from the movie Grease.

My DD16 wants to get these but I only have the album remeber those???

I just bought an iPod a couple of months ago, so I was probably the second to last person without one!

My DD's have has them for years...I just got one over the winter so now DH is the only one who needs one in our house so I think it will be on his Christmas list.

I do! I have "Saturday Night" and a couple of other Bay City Rollers. I also have "Goody Two shoes"-remember that video? Wow! He was hot.
I forgot my teen idol stuff--Partridge family, Bobby Sherman, etc.
