Add Bon Jovi to the "Runaway" list.

Some of these may be covers, but still...

Covers can't count, can they? If they do, "Yesterday" wins by a landslide, doesn't it?

Then again, I'm not about to do the research, so ...

― Rick Massimo (Rick Massimo), Thursday, 21 April 2005 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Duh. Sorry. Bon Jovi's there.

Covers can't count, can they? If they do, "Yesterday" wins by a landslide, doesn't it?

Covers are being weeded out. But who on this PLANET could possibly know whether all of those 56 dance tracks called "Move Your Body" are, um, original compositions?

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Thursday, 21 April 2005 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Like I said, not me. Rock (Someone's) Body!

― Rick Massimo (Rick Massimo), Thursday, 21 April 2005 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Moose - 41

― rentboy (rentboy), Thursday, 21 April 2005 13:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Looking up "I Love You" on AMG - 1150 results. Even if on average the song appears 10 times for each composer, ~115, probably more.

― diedre mousedropping (Dave225), Thursday, 21 April 2005 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't the AMG results count titles that include your keywords, though? So if you put in "I Love You" then it would count "I Love You Honey Baby La-Di-Da" or something?

― emil.y (emil.y), Thursday, 21 April 2005 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

It shows those separately. I didn't count them.

― diedre mousedropping (Dave225), Thursday, 21 April 2005 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

More "You":

Marvin Gaye (later covered by Three Dog Night)

U.S.E. now have a song called "Dance with Me" as well

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Monday, 8 August 2005 06:03 (twenty years ago)

Maybe a bit late at the starting gate but a few called 'Angel':

Madonna, Poco, Jimmy Nail, Weekend Players, Jimi Hendrix.

I'm sure there must be a few more.

Add America and Pat Metheny to the list of songs titled 'You'.
