A friend has been challenged to come up with a song that mentions the word "combustion" - but it must be an existing song! That means we can't just write one now. Any ideas? I'm totally stumped.

Cheers

MP3 has 18 songs with Combustion in the title. None of them are folk songs though, if that's what you are specifically after.

Does it have to be "combustion", or can it be "Fire", "Disco Inferno", etc?

Song Challenges last month dealt with exploding distilleries and burning belches. They were written before her dare. Good luck.
There must be something somewhere about the Chicago Fire and Mrs. O'Leary's cow.

Does Arthur Brown's (As in the Crazy World of Arthur Brown - I am the God of Hell Fire) Fire qualify?

I can't believe it - not one song in the database with the word "combustion" in it? I double-checked - not one.

Brian Dewan is an amazing musician in Brooklyn who plays the electric zither among other instruments. His album "Brian Dewan Tells the Story" is full of groovy ballads he has penned, including "Wastepaper-Basket Fire." I keep thinking that combustion may be mentioned in that song, but the CD's out on loan at present. . . Margaret

Thank you - you guys are amazing!!! The song actually had to have the word "combustion" in it, the subject matter wasn't specified. Actually it could make a very interesting challenge, couldn't it - name a word, then find a song mentioning that word - the more unusual, the better!

Well, actually, the International Lyrics Server (click), which is back online (but limited), lists 19 songs with the word "combustion" in them.

for actual combustion word...I would bet on some of Mark Graham's stuff about the universe..

for ordinary fire...how about when the old dun cow caught fire, burning ring of fire, fires of Calais..

for forest fires, timely, Craig Brandis of Portland wrote a great one about a brush fire...and one I heard on the radio..about a miner who became hunchbacked from digging and became a lumberjack, got made fun of until there was a fire and he saved the day by digging trenches...

Surely there's a song about automobiles, or air pollution, that mentions "internal combustion".
