Songs in your music library that have the same name

Alone by Patrick Doyle and Butterbeer experience

The Call by Regina Spektor and Celtic Woman

One of Us from Lion King and Heather Dale

(and then half a dozen titled either Prologue or Finale, from various musicals.)

not as many as I'd expected.

Got a degree in Emotional trauma via fictional characters aka creative writing. hosting S'mores party in Hell for fellow (evil) writers

"One" by both U2 and Metallica.

"Somebody to Love" by both Jefferson Airplane and Queen.

That's just off the top of my head, I'm certain I have many more.

And just now, bought "No More Heroes" by The Stranglers, when I also have a song by that name by Slash (yeah, he has a solo career apparently). I don't know if some songs from No More Heroes also count.

"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy."

Sweet, someone else here like The Stranglers! I have trouble finding people who even know who they are, let alone like 'em...

I don't think that counts somehow...

Also, on another note, I'm guessing covers aren't... well, COVERED by this, eh? If they were, then I'd have quite a few more things I can add to my list off the top of my head...

• "Monday" by The Jam and Orbital
• "We Can Work It Out" by The Beatles and Mr. Fingers [aka Larry Heard]
• "Sunrise" by Pulp and 808 State
• "Going Places" by Paul Weller and Kid Creole & The Coconuts
• "A Day In The Life" by The Beatles and Black Box [aka Todd Terry]
• "Good Life" by Inner City and Kanye West

My tropes launched: https://surenity2.blogspot.com/2021/02/my-tropes-on-tv-tropes.html

"Young Offender" by New Order and Pet Shop Boys. Not only do the songs share names, they're also both Synth-Pop bands from the UK, and they both came out in 1994.

Found a few more in my library

• Mitternacht by Kraftwerk and E Nomine
• (Die) Mensch Maschine by Kraftwerk and Megaherz (okay, so the Megaherz one doesn't start with "Die", which is German for "the", but it's still really close)
• Lost by Tristania and Visions of Atlantis
• Herz Aus Eis by Eisbrecher and Unheilig
• Creep by Radio Head and Stone Temple Pilots

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.

I have over 10,000 songs on my iPod, so I'll just go through "A."

• "Abandoned" by Amon Amarth and Kamelot
• "Absolution" by Makkon, Megadeth and Quo Vadis
• "Afterlife" by Avenged Sevenfold, Aviators and Bolt Thrower
• "Aftermath" by Carnage and Origin
• "Again" by Alice in Chains and YUI
• "Alone" by Arcturus and Obscura
• "Angel of Death" by Helstar and Slayer
• "Animal" by Atheist and Disturbed
• "Another Day" by Dream Theater and Paradise Lost
• "Anthem" by Kamelot and Rush
• "As the World Burns" by Bolt Thrower and Kreator
• "Ascension" by Ark and Kamelot
• "Asylum" by Disturbed and Neuraxis
• "Attitude" by Bad Brains and Metallica
• "Awaken" by Dethklok and Disturbed

Way too much Disturbed and Kamelot...

No such thing as too much Disturbed. In anything...

I've got a lot of songs, so this'll focus on the letter A.

Afterlife - Avenged Sevenfold and Testament
Aftershock - Anthrax and Van Halen
Again - Alice in Chains and Flylead

I own one Saliva album. Their showing up twice implies quite convincingly that their naming conventions are terribly generic.
