[The Batman]

does anyone out there have a complete list of songs mentioned in the book? including all the lyrics he uses at the start of the chapters, as well as the songs arnie hears on the radio.

i've googled it, but all i can find is a soundtrack listing for the movie.

any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

The 1983 UK Hodder paperback has a full listing but it's six pages long.

I'll try and keyboard it all in over a few posts.

Long days and pleasant nights

you sir (or ma'am) rock.

now is that all the songs, including the ones mentioned on WDIL, or is that just the songs from the chapter quotes?

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Thankee big-big, Trigger Happy, I was daunted at keyboarding that list LOL.

Long days and pleasant nights

[TriggerHappy]

These are all songs as they are listed in my edition of Christine on the copyright page. So, since you don't need copyright permission to simply mention a song name, they would have to be the ones used as epigraphs.

[The Batman]

damn, i already have that list from my copy of the book.

i was hoping to get all the ones mention from WDIL.

thanks for the list though, saves me from having to type it and delete them once i obtain each song...

Think Sai King is a fan of The boss? :laugh:

To back this up, used a lyric from Jungleland in The stand, and mentioned Born to Run in The Dark Tower, 4 of his songs in Christine, even admits that Bruce was an inspiration when he was visualizing Larry underwood, and said that Bruce would make a good larry if he ever took up acting.

Mhm.

I think I remember that one song on the radio was "Rave On" by Buddy Holly. Also, when Leigh and Arnie pick up the hitchhiker, Big Bopper comes on, then Holly...I think... Can't remember the song names
