Topic: Let's play "A vs. B." The rules are simple: find two tracks that share the exact same one-word title. To qualify, both songs must have been officially released as studio single versions at least ten years apart from each other, and they absolutely cannot be covers of one another. This is Volume 2.

01a The Rolling Stones - Happy
01b Pharrell Williams - Happy
02a C-Block - Summertime (1997)
02b Bon Jovi - Summertime (2007)
03a Connie Francis - Mama (1960)
03b Genesis - Mama
04a Jon Bon Jovi - Miracle (1990)
04b Kimbra - Miracle (2014)
05a Bee Gees - Words (1968)
05b F.R. David - Words (1982)
06a Rus Balard - Voices (1984)
06b Alice In Chains - Voices (2013)
07a OMD - Electricity
07b Suede - Electricity

OMD - Electricity (1980)

Suede - Electricity (1999)

Topic: Let's play a game of "A vs. B." Here’s the deal: pair two things together. Both titles must be just one single word. They have to share that exact same name. To make it interesting, both tracks need to be official studio single releases, and there must be at least a ten-year gap between them. Also, no covers allowed—they can't be versions of each other. Just two different songs sharing a name.

01a Lulu -Shout
01b Tears For Fears - Shout
02a Deep Purple - Burn
02b Ellie Goulding - Burn
03a Stevie Wonder - Faith
03b George Michael - Faith
04a Madonna - Rain
04b Mika - Rain
05a Human League - Human
05b Goldfrapp - Human
06a Pink Floyd - Time
06b Hans Zimmer & Alan Walker – Time
07a Savage - Radio (1984)
07b Robbie Williams - Radio (2004)
08a Beyoncé - Halo (2009)
08b Texas - Halo (1997)
09a The Blue Nile - Stay
09b Sash! - Stay

The Blue Nile - Stay (1984)

Sash - Stay (1997)

Topic - Everyone needs to list two tracks under an a/b format. Each track must have a single-word title. Both titles must be identical. To qualify, both songs need to have been officially released as studio single versions at least ten years apart, and they can't be covers of one another.

01a Lulu -Shout
01b Tears For Fears - Shout
02a Deep Purple - Burn
02b Ellie Goulding - Burn
03a Stevie Wonder - Faith
03b George Michael - Faith
04a Madonna - Rain (1993)

Sadly, "Smooth" actually never made the cut as a single.

Topic - Let's play a little game of "A vs. B." Here’s the deal: both entries need to be single-word titles. They have to share the exact same name. To make things interesting, the songs under A and B must have been officially released as studio singles at least ten years apart, and they can't just be one person covering the other. It’s all about those coincidental echoes through time.

01a Lulu - Shout
01b Tears For Fears - Shout

Lulu - Shout (1964)

Tears For Fears - Shout (1984)

Topic - Here’s the drill: everyone posts two songs labeled a/b. Song A must have a two-word title. Song B must have a three-word title. To make the connection, the first two words of Song A have to be identical to the first two words of Song B. Think of it like a musical matching game, similar to how you might sort tools in a garage—everything has its specific slot.

01a Wilson Phillips - Hold On
01b Electric Light Orchestra - Hold On Tight
02a Ed Sheeran - Don't
02b Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry
03a Stevie Wonder & Michael Jackson - Get It
03b T-Rex - Get It On
04a Pat Benatar - We Belong
04b Mariah Carey - We Belong Together
05a The Pussycat Dolls - Do It
05b Chemical Brothers - Do It Again
06a The Beach Boys - Good Time
06b Red Hot Chili Peppers - Good Time Boys
07a Prince - Feel Good
07b Pink - Feel Good Time
08a Elton John & Kiki Dee - True Love
08b Cliff Richard - True Love Ways

Jerry Robinson56 said:06a Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me))

... 😁 just for the neighborhood... it's written and said as one single word, and I think brighteagle39 is totally right about the pronunciation... even if technically it’s two words, however you want to slice it
pronunciation
dont duit
du not duit

I’m honestly at a loss here... why would anyone include something where the official title clearly has five words instead of two, especially when everyone is specifically looking for two?

Topic: Let's play a little game. Post two songs labeled a/b. For song A, pick a title with exactly two words. For song B, go with a three-word title. The twist? The first two words of song A have to be identical to the first two words of song B. Just like matching socks, but for your playlist.

01a Wilson Phillips - Hold On
01b Electric Light Orchestra - Hold On Tight
02a Ed Sheeran - Don't
02b Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry
03a Stevie Wonder & Michael Jackson - Get It
03b T-Rex - Get It On

Jackson & Wonder - Get It (1987)

T-Rex - Get It On (1971)

Topic - Everyone posts two songs using the a/b format. Song A's title should have exactly two words. Song B's title needs three words. To make it work, the first two words of Song A must be identical to the first two words of Song B.

01a Wilson Phillips - Hold On
01b ELO - hold on 01 b ELO - hold on Tight

Topic - Everyone posts two items under a/b. The title for item A must have exactly two words. The title for item B must have at least four words. Crucially, the first two words of item A and the first two words of item B must be identical.

01a Robert Plant - Heaven Knows
01b The Smiths - Heaven Knows I`m Miserable Now
02a Gilbert O'Sullivan - Get Down

Things moved incredibly fast tonight, didn't they?

Huge congrats to everyone, and thanks for sticking around!

😁
