New thread folks and it's kind of fun. Also, it's kind of like Sluggo's http://www.city-data.com/forum/music...main-same.html thread, but the name of the songs don't have to be the same, but the songs' themes have to be similar.

And here are a few...

the dramatics..in the rain..lyrics...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnjqkg253Yc

The Temptations - I Wish It Would Rain (lyrics)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSkKzPwXFxc

Therefore, the similar themes in these songs are that the lead singer wants to be in the rain so that the rain can cover his tears.

Next one...

The Friends Of Distinction - You've Got Me Going In Circles


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9S_WvFD0fI

Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU

Even though The Friends Of Distinction's song is more poetic and more romantic, the similar theme in both songs is that there is someone that the singer is romantically attracted to who makes them spin around in circles.

And the next two songs are in my next post because I didn't want to make this post too crowded.

And one more for now...

Freeway Of Love ✧ Aretha Franklin LYRICS


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISVMovHZUMg

Natalie Colie - Pink Cadillac


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPmXzrJC6yQ

Well, after hearing the part of the chorus of "Freeway Of Love" that says:

We goin' ridin' on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac


it's pretty obvious what the similar theme of these songs is.

Also, coming up with these songs takes a little bit of time and a little bit of thinking, but once you start looking through your collection and/or doing internet searches, you start to find the songs and the search starts to get fun.

Besides the word Dance in the the title, the lyrics tell similar stories of two people finding each other on the dance floor. The songs both have an upbeat energy as well.

Rick Springfield Jessies Girl

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYkbTyHXwbs

Jessie is a friend, you know hes always been a good friend to me
But lately somethings changed, it aint hard to define
Jessies got himself a girl and I want to make her mine....

Despite the fact that this song was released 2 years earlier, this is the obvious continuation of the story....written from Jessie's point of view

She's my best friends girl
And she used to be mine

The Cars - My Best Friends Girl

Nice ones Nema98 and unfocused. Especially Nema's Brandy(which I am familiar with, but never really paid attention to the lyrics before) and The Captain Of Her Heart, which has personal meaning to me.

Hey, unfocused. I knew that there were two songs floating around in my head where one song seemed to be a sequel or a continuation of another song, but I couldn't think of it until now. But two similarly themed songs that seem almost like sequels are Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's The Girl Is Mine:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHp0s2wKajw

where both Paul and Michael are claiming that the girl is each of theirs. And Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson's Get It:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3LXkFsC57o

where both Stevie and Michael claim that they will be the one who gets the girl's love.

Unfocused beat me to the Walk the Moon and Hooters comparison so I have to come up with something else.

These songs deal with issues of alcohol addiction in a similarly raucous manner....
