..a song by Poison called:
"Look What The Cat Dragged In", or did it just not bother him at all?
didn't he know?


beware, this is horrible.
sorry in advance if it makes you sick - no wonder they're called Poison

yeah - i think this was fairly widely discussed/dissected a couple of years ago on this board. the saying is as old as the hills - not exactly an original thought/idea for a song title

LATE BREAKING NEWS: mick did not come up with the phrase "between a rock and hard place," either!

next you're going to tell me that Beast of Bottle isn't an original thought!

right, like Marianne Faithfull invented the phrase "wild horses couldn't drag me away"
(where is the eyerolling smiley, anyway??)

rock and a hard place was album by Aerosmith

um, and also a well known turn of phrase . . .

Anybody Seen My Baby - John Lee Hooker - Modern 847 1951

If You Can't Rock Me - The Strikes - Imperial Records 1957

If you can't rock me I'll find somebody who can....

Heartbreaker has used as a song title about 50 times in one way or another. Don't think Mick cares if Poison used this popular saying as a title of one of their songs..

This should go in the shows you are embarassed to admit thread. But I saw Poison live when I was a kid.

Out of Control - U2 (and probably numerous other artists).

Never knew about an 1957 If You Can't Rock Me !

Remember that photo of "THe Rolling Stones" of the 40s ? That was funny

At least the official name of the song is "Doo Doo Doo..." (I don't know how many off the top of my head) - at least that's original.

I have always thought that when bands start using cliches as their song titles and choruses, it's a sign they're losing it - like the Grateful Dead's "When Push Comes to Shove", one of their "newer" ones.

Something tells me Mick doesn't listen to Poison in the first place.

And according to Nzentgraf there was a song called Has Anybody Seen My Baby written by... Brian Jones.

And if you want more examples...

There was a song called Streets Of Love by Kelly Family. The band was extremely annoying but the video is kinda funny:

But that's not something all not-native-english speakers would/should know... ...but still you are right of course. At least, I believe you... And thanks for the Euro's! They've arrived long ago but I forgot to reply.

As a fellow Dead fan I hear what you are saying. This is how I feel with the Stones Rock n a Hard place and Mixed Emotions. About the Heartbreaker comment, seems like that name has been used by a bunch of bands, Zeppelin and Pat Benatar. There are a few newer poppy songs with this same title. Happy the Stones called their song Doo Doo Doo Doo as Mick introduced it in 1973.

as stonestod had pointed out, they should have just called it 'Doo Doo'

abysmal song

great song, great keyboard

<rock and a hard place was album by Aerosmith>

Rock IN a hard place.

This is by far their worst album. Crappy songs, both of their guitar players had quit, and Tyler was in a haze. Unbelievably weak IMO.

Worse than the hack-written soundtrack ballads from the later Geffen years?

yes, much worse... And those soundtracks ballads are hard to beat
