Now that I have a car radio from the 21st century...

that shows titles of songs, I've been a little shocked at the number of songs I actually didn't know the name of. I would say leading that list would be Locomotive Breath and D'yer Maker. I had no idea those were the names of those songs? Anyone else encounter that?

I encounter it a lot organizing my digital library. Perhaps the most famous is Baba O'Riely (aka Teenage Wasteland). I've known the correct name for quite a while, but until recently always believed a story that it was the name of a photo journalist from Vietnam and that the song was about Vietnam War

I was going to say Baba O'Riely but you stole it from me! I've always known the name of the song because the first time I heard it was on MTV.

Another people seem to forget is Sympathy For The Devil by the Rolling Stones. They always say, "Do you have that song by the Stones that goes Please to meet you, won't you guess my name?" and as soon as they say "By the Stones" I get it queued up on the computer.

Maybe now people will start calling Plowed by its rightful name instead of calling it Human Wreckage.

But I doubt it.

Closer by Nine Inch Nails........instead of "I want to **** you (like an Animal)"

The band even parenthetically named that song Sanitarium.

I'm surprised by the titles, but every once in a while by the artist as well. Ever have a song you thought was done by one person/group and then you see it displayed and you had it wrong the whole time? Wracking my brain for an example, but I know it's happened to me before.

You're the best around. It's a trivia night staple.

Thought "All the Young Dudes" was The Beatles and "Lonely is the Night" was Zeppelin.
