The local classic rock station kicks off lunchtime at noon every day of the week with songs that are connected in some way, such as sharing a word in their titles or presenting a common theme. A recent show bundled together a set of songs that had only four letters in their titles, despite the disc jockey quickly dismissing the smash hit of Village People because its title was an acronym.
Lola by the Kinks immediately came to mind, but the station broadcast three more before reaching that one. “Tush” by ZZ Top, “Fame” by David Bowie and “Help” by The Beatles made up the trio of hits that preceded the aforementioned Kinks song, though “Rain” and “Girl” by the Fab Four also fit. in the category. .
I spent the next half hour thinking of other songs with four-letter titles that the station could have played, although several of them would not be classified as classic rock. Here are ten of the best songs with four-letter titles.
