Could still happen, if Sumner and Hook ever stop bickering. (THIS is the way! Step outside.) On the other hand, for the new vocalist, the omens would not be good.  





She's The One - Ramones, Springsteen, World Party, Robbie Williams

What about 2, 2, 1, 2  .... so many bands seem to have written very similar songs with those lyrics and it's generally their first number live ..

That’s a cover version. It was originally written by Big Dave, the lead “singer” of 50s band The Roadies.

Everyone knows the Black Sabbath classic single Paranoid, released in 1970

However, the song title was used a year before by Grand Funk. The GF version is actually a cracking 7.50 minute workout, typical fuzzed up guitar, late 60s muscular classic rock.

Rock & Roll 

Led Zep, Status Quo, Gary Glitter, Velvet Underground, Daft punk and probably many more

Also Jonas Brothers and Kanye West ( who seems to like nicking song titles). 

The Sabbath one is so famous you’d think someone would say ‘ hang on a minute’ but then maybe neither the Jonas Bros and Mr West a) possibly give a toss b) work with people who know any classic rock or c) listen to what anyone else says.

Doing songs with titles of classic songs is actually a good way to get more listens to your song on streaming sites because people think it's likely a cover

Maybe, I’d be surprised if the Jonas Brothers or Kanye West though they were going to catch a few ageing rockers out. Although as the West catalogue also includes Welcome to the Jungle, Monster, Ghost Town and Runaway all of which were names of hits for other people in previous decades who knows.
