Songs that start with "and"

Aargh. Knew there was a Talking Heads song, but gave up thinking about when the other one was posted

41 3am matchbox 20

42 Primordial - Gallows Hymn ("And sister, do not pray for me...")

xpost oof, nice one

Modest Mouse "Black Cadillacs"

And it's true we named our children
After towns that we've never been to

Most of the lines in the chorus "and"

And it's true that the clouds just hung around
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral
And we were done, done, done
With all the fuck, fuck, fucking around

Destroyer - "Painter In Your Pocket" ('And I'm reminded of the time when I was blinded by the sun...')

this one is actually "WHEN I feel that time's a wasted go..."

Who's gonna be the first to find a rap song that does this?

John Cale - Andalucia :-)

^ damn. Lyrics start with "When" of course :-(

Laura Nyro, "And When I Die"

"Signs"

U2 - Walk On

Who's gonna be the first to find a rap song that does this?

The lyrics have to start with "and", not the song title.

'Gigantic' - Pixies

Dionne Warwick and Friends - “That's what friends are for”

”And I never thought I'd feel this way”

50. Smashing Pumpkins - "Pennies"

"and i stumbled onto you as you stumbled over me"

Rap, being more prose-based, presumably has to conform to the rulez in this regard, I guess.

'heard em say'?

Public Enemy - 'Power to the People' (kind of...)

Simon & Garfunkel - Mrs Robinson

tame impala - be above it

The Ark - Calleth You, Cometh I.

i feel like the wedding present must have done this at some point but who knows

"And I Love You So" by Don McLean.

Liz Phair - "Divorce Song"

Goo Goo Dolls - "Iris"

The Gaslight Anthem - "Here Comes My Man"

Zombies, "Tell Her No"

Flaming Lips - "A Spoonful Weighs a Ton" ("And though they were sad, they rescued everyone"

TLC "Baby-Baby-Baby" (And you want my lovin'/Well that's alright)

NO ONE mentioned The Whispers' "And The Beat Goes On"?

Bee Gees, "And the Sun Will Shine" (the opening line is actually "And the rain will fall"... typically upbeat from Robin Gibb there)

See that I never actually posted the lyric for number 33, which is "And if it's bad, don't let it get you down"

Saves the Day - Shoulder to the Wheel

And I say "just go.
Please, Dave, just drive. "

Have you noticed there's a high percentage of great songs that do this?

Compared to a control sample of not "and" songs...

David Bowie - The Bewlay Brothers

"And you ah? You do ah?"
And So is Love - Kate Bush

"And the beat goes on"
The Whispers

"And I wake up in the morning and she says 'Hi'"
Little Green Apples - Roger Miller

Robert Forster - It Ain't Easy

And a river ran, and a train ran, and a dream ran through everything that he did

Don McLean - Castles In The Air

the 1975 - sex

"and this is how it starts"
