Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
Based on a game used by a local radio station, this game is similar to the Last Two Letters threads: I post the name of a song, and the next poster must post the name of a different song that begins with the last letter of the previous song.

Thus, if I post "Please Please Me," (The Beatles) the next post can be "Even the Nights are Better" (Air Supply), "Every Breath You Take" (The Police) or "Evil Woman" (ELO), etc.

Each entry should be a fairly well known song, though any genre and era can be used. Where possible, include a link to the song on YouTube or another source.

In the case of songs ending in numbers, try to find a song that begins with the same number. Thus, REM's "Pop Song 89" can be followed by Nena's "99 Luftballons". If that fails, use a song that begins with the last letter of the number ("e" for "nine" in this case).

Ready?

Here's the first entry:
