Occasionally I play a little game with myself by juxtaposing song titles, por ejemplo:
The Little White Cloud That Cried/Pennies From Heaven
I'm Sittin' On Top of the World/Make the World Go Away
Tumbling Tumble Weeds/Blowing in the Wind
Lover/Let Me Go Lover
Empty Saddles/Back in the Saddle Again
Have you others?

The Wurzels recorded a 45rpm single with the song "I Love JR" on one side and "I Hate JR" on the other (after the character JR Ewing in the US TV soap Dallas, when this was popular on UK TV). SO I guess you could add:

I Love JR/I Hate JR

I like to do a version of this for a set list, or to announce the next couple of tunes to my band mates, such as:
Throw Angeline (the Baker) Over the Waterfall, or Maggie's Drinking Whiskey Before Breakfast

We used to play the game of reading the entries on juke boxes, which included the artist between the 2 songs.....my favorite was "Please" Elvis Presley, "Don't"
