Song prequel giggles

[annathepiper]

Those of you on Twitter may have seen the #songprequel trending topic, wherein the idea was to post titles of songs that came before actual songs. Much hilarity ensued!

With a hat tip to technoshaman, spazzkat, solarbird, and fredpdx, here are the Great Big Sea ones we all came up with so far:

• Young Brown’s Mother
• Acting Third Lieutenant Taylor
• The Day Pat Murphy Got Sick
• Nagging Girlfriend
• Showing Up At the Kitchen Party With Mrs. White

Dara and Paul and I also came up with these:

• Alice Cooper’s “Welcome to My Bedtime” and “School is Just Starting”
• Simon and Garfunkel’s “Construction Crew Arriving at Bank of Troubled Water”
• Elvis Presley’s “(You Ain’t Nothin’ But a) OMG PUPPY” and “I’ll Do Anything to Get Into Some Blue Suede Shoes”
• Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the Colonies, I Was”
• The Day the Music Bought a Cheap Ticket on a Small Plane in Bad Weather
• Slightly Darker than Usual Day of the Heart
• Radio Killed the Vaudeville Star
• From O Brother, Where Art Thou?, “Boy of Periodic Sadness”
• Kenny Rogers’ “You Picked a Fine Time for Our First Date, Lucille”
• Duran Duran’s “Peckish Like the Wolf Cub”
• Kiss Him Hello (may be more obvious if you sing “na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, HELLO”)
• And last but definitely not least, from Dr. Horrible, “Misbehaving Pony Solo”

Got more? Drop ‘em in the comments!
