Musical Mishmash

Rating: 5.0


I'm gonna make you love me
The last time
Things we said today
How sweet it is

Walk like a man
Maybe I know
A little bit me, a little bit you
Johnny Angel

Just one look
When a man loves a woman
Girl
God only knows

Love potion number nine
Hooked on a feeling
The tracks of my tears
Daydream believer

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I was listening to Pandora Music on my TV today while working on my computer, when suddenly it occurred to me that if I ran a bunch of song titles together, it would make about as much sense as many of the poems I am reading these days on Poem Hunter.

At that point I started writing down the song titles that were played. They are listed here IN THE ORDER THEY WERE PLAYED. I have not moved any titles to a different spot in order to have them make more sense, nor have I left out any songs that were played.

Did you recognize that EVERY LINE was a song title?

How many of the artists can you identify without referring to the answers below?

Good idea. +While I agree that it is as good as some of the poems here, I think it could be better if rearranged. I think I'll write one based on song titles. Thanks for the inspiration (again) .

Thank you, Spock. I have written two more, where I did rearrange the titles. Mishmash 2 is only four lines, but Mishmash 3 has sixteen lines.
