Mr Cogito and I have heard different songs called 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams'. Now, admittedly, I haven't looked into where Green Day got their song title from, but what other completely different songs share a title that you'd think would be unique?

Oddly specific song title duplication

God Save the Queen - although obviously there's more than a whiff of cynicism and parody in the Pistols' use of it.
Recently, nineties stalwarts Cornershop and Helen Love both released completely different singles called Double Denim - which despite being an oft-used term, is still something of a coincidence.

Frankie goes to Hollywood, Jennifer Rush and Huey Lewis and the News all had big hits with completely different songs called THE POWER OF LOVE within 12 months of each other in 1984 and 85

Probably not specific enough to qualify but there have been a lot of songs called All Around The World.
Oasis, Lisa Stansfield, The Jam, Justin Bieber and probably a few others.
Also a fair number of songs called Around The World.
Daft Punk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kings of Leon and again probably some more.
The RCHP song includes the lyric 'All around the world' as well.

Ooh, just remembered both the Tragically Hip (1998) and Super Furry Animals released albums called Phantom Power (2003).
Looking up on Wikipedia to check the years of release and apparently Rick Wakeman used the same title for an album in 1990.Last edited by Patrick Thistle; 26-11-2018, 12:07.

This site has 6,700 examples of such songs. Some are not surprising repeats, but others obviously came about when somebody was aware of the title of a song and used it for their own tune, such as Sting *spit* with Englishman in New York.

Angel Eyes by Abba and Roxy were not only similarly-named but simultaneous hits in the summer of 1979. (Ditto Crazy by both Seal and the late Patsy Cline at the tail end of 1990.) But neither of these is an especially unusual title.

Edit: New Order deliberately chose the Blue Monday title in reference to Fats Domino's tune.Last edited by Jah Womble; 26-11-2018, 13:08.
