Check out last week's Musical Monday #16 at Elie's Expositions.

The theme for Musical Monday #15 as Elie's Expositions and Fiery Spirited Zionist implied was "songs and their sequels." Thanks also to Judeopundit and SS for playing.

"Taxi" and "Sequel" by Harry Chapin
1) And I said, "How are you Sue?"
2) "It's better sometimes when we don't get to touch our dreams."

"My Guy" Mary Wells and "My Girl" The Temptations
3) He may not be a movie star
4) I've got all the riches baby one man can claim
4 was written in response to 3.

"The Last Song" and "Close your Eyes" Edward Bear
5) Did you know I'd go to sleep and leave the lights on?
6) I dreamed she came back home last night
Yes, they were a Canadian group who took their name from Winnie the Pooh.

"Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes" David Bowie, "Major Tom" Peter Schilling
7) And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
8) Want an axe to break the ice
9) far beneath the ship the world is mourning
Following the adventures of Major Tom

"My Life" and "Movin' Out" Billy Joel
14) Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

As Elie's Expositions pointed out, I got the order reversed. Never argue Billy Joel with Elie.

"Alabama" Neil Young and "Sweet Home Alabama" Lynnyrd Skynnryd
16) Banjos playing through the broken glass
17) In Birmingham they love the governor.
I read at a Lynnyrd Skynnyrd website that it was "Alabama" not "Southern Man" that they were responding to.
