Okay, odd I know but doing a project and need some ideas for a presentation soundtrack.
Can anyone think of any songs that have literary connotations?
I've thought of Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights and The Beatles - Paperback Writer.
Any more?

Farenhiet 451: Hawkwind

Books that have been made into films often have very good theme tunes.
Ladies in Lavender for example.
I'll think about this and come back.
Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde: The Damned
lp
Books, plays, anything literary.
Cheers for the ideas so far.
Romeo & Juliette: Dire Straights (never heard of them myself)
lp
everyday i write the book....elvis costello
Must they be 'popular' songs? Coz if not, there are songs that might do from Oliver! and Pickwick (where 'If I Ruled the World' comes from!) for Dickens, My Fair Lady for Shaw, and Kiss Me Kate has songs such as 'Brush up your Shakespeare' ...
ooh ooh ooh
neverending story ....limahl
i'm liking this game...brb

The Enid.

Okay, I've gone for:
The Beatles: Paperback Writer
Elvis Costello: Every Day (I write the book)
Stereophonics: Mr. Writer
Speech Debelle: Speech Therapy
Deep Blue Something: Breakfast at Tiffany's
Prince: The Ballad of Dorothy Parker (it would have been unthinkable for me not to get a Prince song in there somewhere!)
David Bowie: 1984
The Divine Comedy: Lucy (it's a Wordsworth poem)
Belle & Sebastian: Wrapped Up in Books
Sting: Sister Moon (with lines from Sonnet 130)
The Killers: Romeo & Juliet (the Dire Straits cover)
The Divine Comedy: The Book Lovers
Natasha Bedingfield: Unwritten
Kate Bush: Wuthering Heights
Cheers for all the suggestions - I've had fun looking them all up.
