What is your favorite song that actually tells a story?

Posted on 04/22/2022 3:56:36 PM PDT by Beowulf9

I admit I saw this elsewhere but I thought it might be a good thing to put here because honestly I look and listen to songs people post. I am always entertained and it opens my mind to many different avenues of musical tastes I have not known before. I hope ones like this column.

Escape, The Pina Colada song.

It tells the story of a couple who, each, writes a personal ad to find another lover.

They correspond, then meet, to find out the other was tired of them.

Awesome!

I know the history of the song. The Dead version shares the title, but not the lyrics.

Totally different.
