What songs go together?
For example:
Comfortably Numb – Pink Floyd
I Wanna Be Sedated – The Ramones
I’m sure there are countless songs about using drugs, so this example is a no-brainer. What other pairs (or groups) of related songs by different artists can you think of? But no fair picking songs by the same artist. The connection can be obvious, or it can be subtle and require an explanation. For erxample:
Rest In Pieces – Misanthrope
Parting of the Sensory – Modest Mouse
(Parting Of The Sensory is about “carbon’s annivesary” i.e. death, as is Rest In Pieces)

Okay, I just thought of some more…
Free Bird – Lynyrd Skynyrd
I’m Like A Bird – Nelly Furtado
Two Of A Kind, Sue Thompson.
Two Lovers, Mary Wells.
Both songs of the 60s on Youtube.
Do you mean lyrics necessarily or instrumentalism?
Because you could take the drum beat out of any of these songs, replace it in the other, and they would sound almost exactly the same.
My example is the swung, floor tom drum beat found in Muse’s “Uprising”, Kasabian’s “Shoot The Runner”, Battles’s “Atlas”, and Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl”.
Freaked me out when I first heard it.
@dverhey – That’s not what I meant, but okay, go with it if you can think of more :-)
How Much Is That Doggie In The Window – Pattie Page
Who Let The Dogs Out? – Baha Men
@dverhey I also noticed the “Uprising”-“Atlas” similarity. I was listening to Muse on the radio waiting to hear that weird background vocalization from “Atlas”.
