Haven’t been round these Music Board parts recently.
I’ve been making connections between songs recently. I heard Rod Stewart’s Young Turks recently and realised bits of it echo Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves, with the always moving groups (teenagers or travellers respectively) rocked by an unplanned teenage pregnancy. Also, Babooska is basically the Pina Colada song, isn’t it. Maybe I’m not the first person to notice this, but what other songs mirror each other?
Joni Mitchell’s ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ (‘They paved paradise / Put up a parking lot’) is the exact opposite of Talking Heads’ ‘Nothing But Flowers’ (‘This was a shopping mall / Now it’s covered with flowers / If this is paradise / I wish I had a lawnmower’).
Yeah @littlebirds, @anon50098204 posted a completely incomprehensible reply that only made sense after your post cleared things up but you better hang your head in shame!
