Sort of meme.

Fivemack listed all the songs in his collection with "Everybody" in the title. This struck Mobbsy's curiosity so he did a list of the top 50 song title words in his collection, which Peter also did later. Both found that after the "the, a, of, you, me" etc. words the most common word real noun was "Love". It does seem to be quite terrifyingly common y'know.

Playing the lunch game with these is hilarious: Alabama 3 have a futuristic nutri-pill thing going with 'Hypo Full of Lunch' whereas Ash haven't cooked their steak anywhere near long enough and wind up wanting to know 'Where is our lunch going?'. Bloc Party deplore 'This Modern Lunch' and Eliza Carthy lends her support to the anti-McDonalds movement too with 'The Americans Have Stolen My True Lunch Away'; all the Divine Comedy can do, true to form, is make sarcastic remarks from a distance with Commuter Lunch. Chris Isaak's been stiffed with the bill yet again in 'You Owe Me Some Kind Of Lunch', Hayseed Dixie just 'Feel Like Making Lunch' and LCD Soundsystem have had 'Too much lunch' - shame Brian May isn't around to tell them too much lunch will kill you in the end. tATu on the other hand are undaunted and demand 'Show me lunch', but the Wonderstuff have been on the road even longer and are after Hot Lunch Now. Moby's 'Signs of Lunch' sounds like he needs to give his shirt a wash after that bolognese, and Nick Cave has nobbled Ash's roaming steer in 'I Let Lunch In'. Oysterband's 'Lunch Vigilantes' could have stood to lend a hand there I think. Weezer soppily sigh over how 'You gave your lunch to me softly' - but would it have gone as far as a last Rolo? - while the Darkness, skinny little sods that they are, nevertheless assure us they believe in a thing called lunch. Tom Jones seems to have a rather strange relationship with food, with 'You need lunch like I do' followed in the next breath by 'Ain't that a lot of lunch'.

And now I'm going to stop ;-)

Buried Alive By Lunch

*rofl* that's a lunch I'd like to see!

[arnhem.livejournal.com]

It'll be a direct result of Transvision Vamp's "Landslide of lunch".

it's far less interesting with book titles (for me at any rate)
the first thing that's not the,of,and,a,in or to is "book" .. then "Dark" "Black" and "Night" 15 times each. 12 Dragons though
