Hi Not really a puzzle in the usual sense, so if it needs to move to Mixed Bag please feel free, but there is hopefully some thoughtful and fun head scratching nonetheless. It came to mind from an ongoing thread at MIxed Bag about things we like to listen to. Put simply, what band or performer based on their name should have performed a song based on its name. For example: Losing My Religion (REM) should have been performed by Faith No More Who Let The Dogs Out (Baha Men) should have been performed by Bow Wow Wow The best answer by consensus and acclamation wins this bright shiny car  
Quantity has a quality all of its own

Nice one, flotsam! How's about: Up where we belong - The Eagles Another brick in the wall - Men at Work
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
I wonder what's on television...?

Fun idea!  All By Myself by Maroon 5 There's a Fly in My Soup by Glen Campbell Amazing Grace by Madonna
Netflix needs to stop asking if I'm still watching and start asking if I've switched the laundry over yet

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

War and When The Battle Is Over by the Attack Like A Rolling Stone by Ronnie Wood (or any of them, and they have of course covered it: not sure whether any of their progeny are musical enough to sing Papa Was A Rolling Stone...) Wind Beneath My Wings by the Eagles or the Jefferson Airplane or Flock of Seagulls (and probably several other candidates) Get Me To The Church On Time by Amen Corner Great game idea, flotsam, and some cool suggestions from everyone!
