Many moons ago Townsman sammymaudlin had an idea for Last Man Standing centered on song titles in the form of questions and answers. We’d since forgotten all about it, but luckily I found a reminder that I scribbled on a piece of scrap paper all those years ago. Posts must follow from the previous song title, so that a song title in the form of a question must be followed by an entry in the form of an answer. You may only post ONE song title at a time. You cannot just list a bunch of song title questions or song title answers in a row because you’re smart. The goal is to create song title dialog. Answers should be at least somewhat related to the questions. You’ll be standing especially tall if you can ask a question that builds off the previous answer.
I’ll start things off with a song title in the form of a question:
Q: “What’s New Pussycat?”
The first comment that anyone posts here, therefore, should be a song title that answers this question.
A:
Who’ll get the last word in, someone posting a song title in the form of a question or someone posting a song title in the form of an answer?
A: “I Just Threw Out The Love of My Dreams”
How Long (Has This Been Goin’ On)
-Ace
Long Long Long
Can I get a Witness
“Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?”
TB
Because I like it better in the “Back of a Car” – LOL!
Q; Who’s Driving Your Plane?
A: “Take Me To The Pilot”
Q; Should I Stay or Should I Go?
A: Baby Please Don’t Go
Q: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?
A: It Doesn’t Matter Anymore
What’s love got to do with it?
A: Ain’t Nothin’ but a G Thang
Nothing Else Matters
damn!
NOTE: WE’RE BOUND TO GET SOME OVERLAPPING ANSWERS. “JUNK” AND I MUST HAVE HIT “SEND” AROUND THE SAME TIME. LET’S MOVE ON WITH ANOTHER QUESTION. THANKS.
How do you do it?
*Mr. Mod, I believe a rule may be needed here. In the event this happens again, which Q or A do we go with?*
So we’re starting over? if so:
Do you know the way to San Jose?
South of Heaven
NOTE: SHOULD WE HAVE ANOTHER UNINTENTIONAL OVERLAP, THE NEXT PERSON MAY POSE A *NEW* QUESTION OR ANSWER, WHATEVER WAS DUE TO COME NEXT.
ONE MORE NOTE, IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO INCLUDE THE ARTIST IN PARENTHESES IF YOUR SONG TITLE IS NOT OBVIOUS. THANKS.

Why Must I Be a Teenager in Love?

(Btw I was hoping someone would answer What Am I Living For? with If Not For You (the Dylan/Harrison song), because that’s the next line in the song anyway. Oh well….)
“Like a Rock” Seeger

Oops! looks like Sammy beat me to the punch on that one.

[Mr. Mod deliberately removes his reading specs…]
HVB and mockcarr, please admire your clever constructions in another thread, perhaps one held in an echo chamber. The goal here is to create DIALOGUE among Townspeople. One Townsperson asks a question via song title, the next one answers that question via song title. I know I can count on you, in advance, to flip me the bird!
If that woman from “Wedding Bell Blues” has her way Bill is one step closer “To the Aisle” (The Five Satins).
I was just including the question since HVB didn’t answer it
How does it feel to feel? (The Creation)
A: Not Too Amused (Sebadoh)
How soon is now? (the smiths)

I don’t believe you (Dylan)
Hey, Moderator DUDE. Consider yourself lucky that I’m not putting your nuts in the HVB vise grip over your chicken-shit behavior vis-a-vis Hear Factor. You know what I’m talking about.
Now, to the issue at hand: I put the Q and the A in the same post because I thought t would be helpful to make it clear which Q — somebody else’s Q, by the way — I was answering. I understand the rules of your silly game. I can’t speak for Mockcarr. That dude is unmanageable.
Your pal,
HVB
Aren’t You The Guy? (They Might Be Giants)
Q: Is she really going out with him?
A: Yes Indeed (Ray Charles)
Q: Wouldn’t It Be Nice?
Q: Aren’t You The Guy?
A: I’m the One (Van Fucking Halen)
Q: Wouldn’t It Be Nice?
A; Too Soon To Know (the Subdudes)
Who Are You? the Who
I am a rock – S&G
HVB, perhaps my criticism was wrong IN FACT, but judging by the offlist comments I’ve received, it was right on target IN SPIRIT. Honestly, I”m sorry I came down so hard on you, but you and mockcarr are the types of leaders around here who can take it and whose taking it sets a shining example for others.
As for Hear Factor, I KNOW what you’re talking about. There’s one Hear Factor submission in particular that will NOT be left behind.
