Song Battles: Songs with Similar/The Same Titles (Steph's Edition Part 1)

since Breesays came up with a brilliant idea of comparing bands' songs with similar titles, I decided I would do my own. so, um, here we go!

1st on the docket: (yes I know this was posted already by Bree but I wanted to post it again)

Fall Out Boy vs. the King of Pop (oh why do I keep talking about him?) Michael Jackson with "Thriller".

umm, so I guess this is too obvi. While FOB's song has Jay-Z rapping on it, no one shall beat the awesome verse of Vincent Price. but hey. I love both. and, uh, in case if you're wondering, "Beat It" doesn't count since it was a cover.

2nd on the docket:

Britney Spears vs. The Script. "If U Seek Amy" vs. "If You See Kay"

Ahh. This case now involves the clever euphemisms for a certain f-word. I love both songs. I love Britney. But I have to give it to Danny O'Donoghue and crew though. Aside from being my "current obsessions" as I like to call them, doesn't "If you see Kay, tell her I love her" make more sense and pleasing to hear than "All the boys and all the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy."? I mean, since when did Brit Brit pull a Tila Tequila?

3rd on the docket:

State of Shock vs. Drake "Best I Ever Had"

ok. so they're both Canadian. (SOS from Vancity, Drake from Toronto.) both songs are top 5 hits in Canada. and the songs talk about virtually the same thing, about a girl being, uh, the best they ever had. but, State of Shock gets my vote because not only are they from my hometown, they don't sound like Lil Wayne clones and are not from Degrassi.

4th on the docket:

 Kanye West vs. Jonas Brothers, both with "Paranoid".

is this even worth asking? Kanye FTW. Disney stars should never write about things like paranoia.

and 5th/last on the docket:

Brooke Nolan vs. The Midway State - "Stupid Love Song" vs. "Stupid Love Songs"

uh-oh. another Van/Toronto combo. although I do love both, I choose Brooke, who is my other obsession. but The Midway State are cool, don't worry.

Bonus one:

Hedley vs. Three Days Grace with "Never Too Late"

I almost forgot to post this one. Hedley's is upbeat ska pop and the video pays tribute to Duran Duran's video for "Rio", while Three Days Grace's dark ballad advises people not to commit suicide. I say both since Hedley are one of my fave local bands and TDG's song has a lot of meaning and depth.

so that ends Part 1 of Song Battles. let me know which song you like better! also, new ideas for song battles accepted, but please put them in the comments.
