♫I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my hose

 

Love Is All Rround - Wet Wet Wet or the original version that didn't play for months and drive us all bats.

R.E.M. from MTV Unplugged '91. Trust me, if you haven't heard it yet you must be able to find on YouTube ;)

Got that version on a bootleg CD I bought years ago. Mike Mills sings lead vox.

 

The original version was by The Troggs, though.

Yep, music my parents dragged me up on! Mike Mills sings lead vox on a few songs and has quiet a good voice all things considered.

 

Anyway, I best actually contribute something....

 

It's the end of the Sock as we know it...

Your Sock (Elton John)

Socks in Heaven (Eric Clapton)

Sweet Socks (are made of these) (Eurythmics)

Sock Me Out (Crowded House)

How about

Sockheaded Peter by the Tiger lillies (Shockheaded Peter)

 

Google it, but definitely not at work. Tiger lillies are NOT SAFE FOR WORK by any stretch of the imagination - you have been warned!

Then there's the old Elizabethan song that actually is about socks

 

Give Me My Yellow Hose

 

A cautionary tale to all bachelors.

 

(What can I say? I have wide-ranging musical tastes!)

You say that, but I'm not sure if nothing but lute based ballads from 1570-1575 counts as a wide ranging taste...

Perhaps not in the context of a single post, but given that it is sandwiched between the electro-acoustic stylings of REM (circa 1991) covering a 1960s classic by The Troggs, and Nirvana's grunge rock, I would say that my claim is validated. :p

 

(And which song have I found myself singing/whistling randomly throughout the morning? Give me my yellow hose again, give me my yellow hose...)

Sorry @sparkeh. @CamelMan beat you to that one.

 

From the film of the same name:

 

The Secret of My Sockcess - Night Ranger (yes, I had to search to find out who sang it.)

Gah! Missed that :(

 

Can we broaden this to include artists/bands?

 

I'll start with:

A Sock of Seagulls

Electric Socks

Sock it to me - Missy Elliot

 

I WIN - no title change needed for this song!!!

 

Nor was there for 'Bring me my yellow hose' (so you come second :p)

 

How about 'Roadsock - Sock, Aitken & Waterman'
