Do you know of any songs made by separate artists that have the same name? No songs that are covers of other songs.

Just Another Day - Jon Secada, Oingo Boingo

That is a very long list.

Have you ever tried to search for lyrics to a specific one-word titled song, and you get results for tons of artists who all recorded songs titled the same? It happens to me all the time on that Genius app.

So many songs are called "Sway".

Yes, some are covers of each other (eg Dean Martin, Mucho Mambo) but then there's the Rolling Stones one, the Bic Runga one, the Kooks one...

Wikipedia lists like a dozen more in the disambiguation page for "Sway"

Wow, there's even more songs in that disambiguation list than the one I posted.

Dozens of different songs!

It would be funny as hell to make unrelated songs with the overcomplicated names from fallout boy and panic at the disco

The Power Of Love.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood (best version), Hewey Lewis, Jennifer Rush

All came out quite close (relatively) to each other.

Just thinking about that today, listening to creep by stone temple pilots. Creep was the first hit by Radiohead, and another came out by TLC

!connectasong@lemmy.world once had a full 24+ hours of nothing but posts involving the word "creep"
