Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Playlist: Five-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.

Five words: No, we ain't done yet! Five more: Stopping now wouldn't be logical.

Although "logical" isn't among any five words one would use to describe this blog, our current thread of fake This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio playlists has followed a logical progression: one-word song titles, two-word song titles, three-word song titles, and four-word song titles.

So this week we up the ante by one more word. Logic in action! And we'll add one more when we return for next week's exercise. I mean, we can't argue with logic, right?

For now, scream along: FIVE!!!!

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!
