Also, "Boogie Street" gets mentioned in "A Thousand Kisses Deep". - Well, that's not quite the same thing.

Hi,

Roman has it correct with "You Got Me Singing." Hartmut has very good finds with "A Thousand
Kisses Deep" and "That Don't Make It Junk," however, each of those songs isn't "quite the same
thing."

Thanks, Steven!

What do these songs have in common:
Came So Far for Beauty
Everybody Knows
Hallelujah
I'm Your Man
Love Itself
Master Song
So Long, Marianne
Take This Waltz
The Guests
The Lost Canadian (Un Canadien Errant)

?

Name another song to complete the list!

All these songs use either the 3/4 rhythm or the related shuffle rhythm. - "Bird on the Wire" wouldn't look out of place in this list.

I must admit that had to look through one particular page on Jarkko's website carefully to make this list & be sure there's only one title left...

Yes, Hartmut - actually, too sophisticated for me!

The question is rather about the titles of LC songs than songs themselves.

Hm ...

These titles don't contain the letters p, q, and x.

Which is also true for "Ain't No Cure For Love".

Otherwise, I give up.

Too sophisticated, again.

The page in use wasn't the Song Index... but another list.

Cover versions, maybe? - I had already considered that, but didn't get very far.

So: Do all these songs have cover versions in ... Spanish?

Sorry, no again. That's not songs, just titles. But you're right, Hartmut, these titles have been used by the authors from various countries!

A top-level page. One shouldn't go any deeper into the Files to reach it.

I think all these song titles were used as the basis for book titles.

The song "The Partisan" would complete the list.

Good riddle!
