These are songs that contain “Jesus” in their lyrics.
“Tower of Babel,” written by Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin, appears on the 1975 autobiographical album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, where it serves as one of the darkest and most biting commentaries on the duo’s early struggles in the London music scene. The song paints a stark portrait of a world filled with
#1 Record, the debut album by the American rock band Big Star, was released in August 1972 by Ardent Records. At the time, Big Star was composed of Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Andy Hummel, and Jody Stephens. The group formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in the early 1970s, with Bell and Chilton—two songwriters of distinct but complementary sensibilities—at its creative center.
This “Stand Out Single” was the first single for the Bangs (soon to be Bangles).
“Getting Out of Hand” backed with “Call on Me” is the rare 1981 debut single from the Los Angeles-based band Bangs, who would soon be forced to rename themselves The Bangles. Released independently on their own DownKiddie Records imprint, the single captures the earliest recorded output of the group.
Songs that contain the phrase “Magic Carpet Ride”.
“Old Devil Moon” is a jazz standard from the 1947 musical Finian’s Rainbow1, written by Burton Lane (music) and E.Y. Harburg (lyrics). The song’s romantic yet slightly unsettling lyrics describe the captivating and almost hypnotic power of love, symbolized by the “old devil moon.” Frank Sinatra recorded a memorable version in 1954 for his album Songs for Young Lovers, where his smooth phrasing and rich vocal delivery emphasized the song’s seductive charm.
Brewer & Shipley gained prominence with their third album, “Tarkio,” released in 1970.
Michael Brewer, born on April 14, 1944, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was the eldest of four children. His musical journey began early; by the age of four, he was already performing on the radio. In the mid-1960s, Brewer moved to Los Angeles, where he formed a duo named Mastin & Brewer with singer-songwriter Tom Mastin.
The tune was originally released as the B-side to the single of “All I Really Want to Do,” but eventually earned enough airplay to become a regional hit in its own right (though on the national charts, it narrowly missed the Billboard Top 100, peaking at 103).
“I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better” is a song by The Byrds, written by the band’s lead guitarist and vocalist Gene Clark. It was released in June 1965 as part of their debut album, Mr. Tambourine Man.

How many songs can you think of that have the same word, repeated three times, for the song title? In this series of posts, I’m going to try to come up with a few. Wish me luck. I’ll check in with some of the big rock bands and solo artists to see what I can find.
There are lots of songs about lots of subjects, but I thought I’d try to come up with some related to little green men and spaceships traveling to and from other planets. They used to be referred to as UFOs, not UAPs, but whatever you call them they are fun to talk/sing about.
