It's been ages since the last of Sal's reviews challenges; I had a look and found #7 way back in August of last year, so I thought it might be time to dust down a fun past-time with a fairly simple one to get the ball rolling again....

Your task: post links to reviews that are puns or wordplays on well-known song or album titles.

A few guidelines from Salopian's previous challenges...

Please give clear spoiler warnings if appropriate.

You are particularly encouraged to write new reviews fitting the requirement of the challenge.

Like all previous challenges, this is completely open-ended.

Enjoy!

Okey-dokey

1.

Beatles again

2. A bit of Elton John

3. A hit for so many including Louis Armstrong, The Jackson 5, The Hollies, Doris Day, Diana Ross and the Supremes

4. Originally written as a jazz ballad for Ella Fitzgerald, it became a hit for smokey-voiced Julie London in the mid-1950s. It's been recorded many times by such different vocal talents as Ray Charles, Joe Cocker and Bjork, and was on the soundtrack of V For Vendetta

These are great! Had already voted for many, though. I don't have too many puns on song titles, but here are a few that I think qualify:

Simon and Garfunkel (one of my first reviews on this site, from 5 years ago!).

And another for the same song.

Spoiler for Road to Perdition: Bobby Fuller Four (also The Clash).

Elvis Presley.

Pink Floyd.

The Counting Crows (and others, I think).

And, finally, two christmas carols.

aahaa, muahaha

Demonic, are only titles allowed, or may we post reviews that play on lyrics?

I should think that that's alright, as long as they are easily indentifiable lyrics. I just realised I've already posted a Sound of Music one that is a lyric not a title variation...
