You can listen to this playlist here.
This week's playlist contains songs whose titles are palindromes. That is, a word or phrase that reads the same backward as it does forward. My only requirement was that the word be at least 5 characters in length. The only exception is the song "Bob" by Weird Al Yankovic. This kicks the playlist off because the lyrics are all palindromic phrases. How cool is that? Al is a goof, but a song composed completely of palindromes called "Bob" sung in the style of Bob Dylan is simply brilliant. And before the comments start, They Might Be Giant's "I palindrome I" from the album Apollo 18 does not qualify. The title of the song is not a palindrome, so it is omitted.
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?
Please add any songs with palindromic titles that I missed to the comments.
