Song titles can be interesting. Especially when they have a name. Is it a real person the band is singing about? Let’s take a look – Jersey Picks The Top 5 Rock Songs With a Person’s Name In The title.
So where did my info come from? Well, I posted my Question of the Day, looking at your favorite rock songs with a person’s name in the title. That hit the DHA Facebook page at 4 pm. Listeners commented for a while and then at 5 pm, it was time to put together a block of tunes for First Call Last Call to kick off the ride home at 5 pm. Reading listener responses is always cool and exciting. Some listeners give some interesting insight as to why they picked their band or song. And then of course it’s helpful to me because there’s always an answer I come across where I think, wow I forgot about that!!!
As I said, title can be very interesting. Some are provocative or mysterious. Others seem to lay out what the song is about just by hearing what it’s called. When there’s a name in the title I often wonder if that’s based on a real person or if it just fits the cadence of singing in the song. I always found one title intriguing – Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl apparently named the song “Her Johnny Park” from the Colour and The Shape after a real person. Apparently, it was a friend he grew up with and he was trying to find him!
Sadly, not all songs have such a great piece of actual information or truth. Or even speculation. Sometimes it’s just a name that fits the song well. And that’s ok too. But isn’t it really neat when there’s some mystery to it?
