Coincidental SongFight Songs
I was listening to my mp3 collection on shuffle and this track came on:
<a href="http://www.glitterandtwang.org/songfight/Eddie Bo - From This Day On.mp3">Eddie Bo - From This Day On</a>
It was in DJ Shadow/Cut Chemist's Brainfreeze, basically a megamix made up of old 45s they'd collected over the years. It's pretty good! Better than the average SongFight track. It has great trumpets, good staccato guitar, a kickin' bassline, and the vocals are classic. I would vote for it.
What other songs do you guys have that are false SongFight cognates, excepting the obvious Beatles ones?

Skinny Puppy has a "Chainsaw." As, it looks like, do the Ramones.
There's also a famous "Lucky Man" by ELP.

We all need a little brain salad surgery now and again. I saw that live with an orchestra behind them. Lots of dressing was applied.HeuristicsInc wrote: There's also a famous "Lucky Man" by ELP.

Drowning Pool has a song called "Step Up." It was the first single after Dave Williams died, and I wouldn't recommend it.
On the other hand, rapper Lyrics Born has a "Bad Dreams" that I would recommend.

This isn't so much a coincidental songfight song, as much as it is a coincidental songfight occurance.
I hammered out acoustic guitar and vocals for 5 songs that will be on the Half Racks CD last night, and then I burned all 5 of those songs to a CD-RW.
The time on the CD? 15:16
I shit you not. I thought that was ridiculously funny.
ROCK!

The first song I ever wrote, in the fourth grade, was called "The Martians Are Going to Eat Us." I happened to mention that on the discussion boards, and the next week, it turned up as one of the songfight titles.
Of course, I couldn't enter my version, since it was written before the titles were announced...

What a coincidence. My daughter's first song was also called "The Martians Are Going to Eat Us".king_arthur wrote:The first song I ever wrote, in the fourth grade, was called "The Martians Are Going to Eat Us."

My first song was "Cowboys in the City". My first song with lyrics was "Bean Parfait". At one time I was going to organize a "first songs" sidefight, where everyone could submit the first song they'd ever written. Never got around to it.
