Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Playlist: Three-Word Song Titles

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl is simply too large a concept to be neatly contained within a mere three-hour weekly time slot. Hence these occasional fake TIRnRR playlists, detailing shows we're never really going to do...but could.

Continuing the series begun with previous imaginary playlists collecting one-word song titles and two-word song titles, we turn our short attention span to...wait, what's the next number? Oh yeah: THREE-WORD SONG TITLES! Three words and the truth. Or three words and some lies. No shortage of likely prospects, and a long list of other great tracks that could have been included. It's ALL pop music! We'll move on up to four-word song titles next time.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl--y'know, the real one--airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, streaming at SPARK stream, archived at Westcott Radio. You can read about our history here. TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS are always welcome.
