Common method of naming things "The (Something) Blues". Very prevalent in Blues music, although there are also many, ''many'' non-blues songs with a title like this.

See also TheSomethingSong and BalladOfX.

For the "something blue" worn at a wedding, see OldNewBorrowedAndBlue.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]

* The French title of ''Analyze This'' was "Mafia Blues".
* ''Film/UndercoverBlues''
* ''Film/BiloxiBlues''
* There have been three movies called ''St. Louis Blues''. The first was [[Film/StLouisBlues a jazz short]] in the 20's that depicted the only film footage of Music/BessieSmith, singing W.C. Handy's iconic song (see the Music entry below). The next one was made in the 30's. It was a musical comedy starring Dorothy Lamour. The third was a musical bio-pic about W.C.Handy made in the 50's with Nat King Cole as the lead. Because of this last film, the aforementioned 1930's ''St. Louis Blues'' was retitled to ''Best of the Blues'' for television.
* "The Weary Blues" from ''Film/SummerHoliday''.
* Israeli film ''Metallic Blues'' (which is a PunBasedTitle on the color metallic blue).

* ''Steelyard Blues''

* An unusual example is found in ''Film/AdventuresInBabysitting'', when Chris and the kids accidentally wander onto the stage of a blues club and are told that "Nobody gets off stage without singing the blues." The teenager is forced to make up a song on the spot, which is of course called "The Babysitting Blues." It works.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''Spaceman Blues: A Love Song''
* Creator/CliveBarker's ''Pig Blood Blues''
* Bizarro author Jordan Krall's ''Squid Pulp Blues''
* Creator/DerekRobinson did two, not related: ''Red Rag Blues'' and ''Kentucky Blues''. Both could be puns, with "blues" in the first title contrasting with "reds" (i.e. Communists), and "blues" in the second one alluding to the UsefulNotes/AmericanCivilWar.
* Richard Lupoff's novel ''Space War Blues''.
* The novel ''Literature/ShamanBlues''. Makes sense, seeing how it was named after Music/TheDoors song below.
* Creator/JoeHaldeman's short story "Lindsay and the Red City Blues".
* Cornell Woolrich's "New York Blues".
[[/folder]]

* ''Bay City Blues''
* In ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', Andorian Blues gets mentioned. (Andorians are aliens with [[{{Pun}} blue skin]].)
* ''Series/TheJulekalender'' features a song named "The Dæjlig News Blues". The title is in the show's usual IntentionalEngrishForFunny, and sounds like "The Daily News Blues" even though it's a mistranslation of something that meant "The Good News Blues" in the original Danish.
