Songs with station names or line name in the title
Songs which use the word 'train' in the title
Songs which use the word 'underground' or 'tube'
And other travelling related tunes ...
And some really obscure ones!
These are all the ones that I've never heard of, so I can't verify their existence! But I'll list them all here anyway.
Project Adorno
They're all very good - and written in a comical/humorous way, and definitely worth downloading and giving a listen to. 'Amersham' and 'Oxford Circus' and 'Colindale' are my personal favourites.
Going Underground - The Rude Version Doing the rounds on the internet in 2004 was a version of 'Going Underground' re-sung and re-recorded with an amusing slant with lots of swearwords. It became an internet cult/hit, before being revealed that two guys called Adam Kay and Suman Biswas, under the name of Amateur Transplants were behind it. Their website (where you can buy a CD containing this and more songs), is here - but what's really fun is that a few weeks later, an unknown person creating this Shockwave Flash 'video' for the song, which made the whole thing even more amusing.
You can watch the whole video (Needs Real Player) at the Howard Jones website Boris Gardener's 1986 "I want to wake up with you", was almost entirely filmed at Westbourne Park in the days when it was still branded as the Metropolitan Line. Alex Parks video to "Cry" in 2004 was filmed at the now closed/disused branch of the Jubilee line at Charing Cross The Prodigy's "Firestarter" video was recorded in the defunct Aldwych station in 1996, two years after it closed. There is an extensive list of tube stations that have been used in films and videos here. |
