Two Rock and Roll Songs With a Twist

Rock and roll has its fair share of songs that are funny, it also has plenty of songs about heartbreak. However, there are two very similar songs that combine the two.

"Silhouettes" - The Rays (1957): The narrator walks past his sweetheart's house only to see the shadow of her and another man in a loving embrace. He's distraught and finally admits that he...

Lost control and rang your bell (I was sore)

Let me in or else I'll beat (down your door)

When two strangers who had been two silhouettes on the shade

Said to my shock "you're on the wrong blo-ock

"Fool In The Rain" - Led Zeppelin (1979): Skipping ahead 22 years, we find the hapless narrator waiting patiently for his loved one to meet him. He stands in the rain, lamenting the fact that she has stood him up, until he realizes...

I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block.

It's interesting that both rock and roll songs have the singer getting upset about his girlfriend not doing what he thinks she should, only to find out by the end of the song that he was wrong. The pay off for the listener is that the guy may be an idiot, but at least his girl still loves him.
