Apropos of Mr. Mod’s recent declaration, let’s have a relevant Last Man Standing. Here are some rules:
- The word “end” itself must be in the title. So, for example, Love Me T-END-er doesn’t count.
- Once a title is taken, another song with the same title is out. So, “The End” by the Doors is gone after I start things off.
- Other rules, as I think of them.
And I’ll start things off with the Beatles:
“End of the Line{ Wiburys
aloha
LD
“End of the World” — Skeeter Davis
Dead End Street – Kinks
Till the End of the Day — Kinks
“West End Girls” – Pet Shop Boys
The Dark End Of The Street – insert band or artist
Wasn’t 100% sure who originally sang the song. It was James Carr.
Richard & Linda Thompson – The End Of The Rainbow
“Day to End All Days” – The Wishniaks!
Kinks, End of the Season
Lou Rawls, too.
“End of the Road” — Gladys Knight
Dylan – 90 Miles An Hour (Down A Dead End Street)
The End Has No End – The Strokes
“Stoney End” — Laura Nyro, Barbra Streisand
Waiting for the End of the World – Elvis Costello
I’ll chime in with everyone else that the ending of RTH is understandable, yet still sad. I have been an infrequent poster/commenter, but a frequent reader. Been meaning to comment, since I saw Mr Mod’s post, and seeing al yesterday prompted me to post.
Two Beads At The End – Minutemen
four days later…
Roxy Music, End of the Line (from Siren)
Neil Young, “The Losing End (When You’re On).”
Before The End Of The Race – Sloan
