Get up!
As we tussle in one-upmanship over each other on yet another LMS, what better theme could there be than the act of standing itself? This time around, get up on your feet and enumerate song titles with “stand” or whatever participle or variation you’re into. Don’t take it lying down!
Sorry, no one stands taller than Sly. It’s over before it began.
Get up Stand up
Reggae Town Hall rears its ugly head again!
I Can’t Stand It – Eric Clapton
Standing in the shadows of Love
I Can’t Stand It — Velvet Underground
I will never pass up an opporuntiy to excavate pre-Dreamweaver Gary Wright!
Stand For Our RIghts

English Beat “Stand Down Margaret”
I can’t stand up for falling down — costello
Just checked my iPod for tracks beginning with the word Stand (cheating, yes, but I’m bored at work this Friday afternoon, so thank you RTH for the diversion):
Stand by Me, Yeah by Sloan
Stand on Your Own Head by They Might Be Giants
Stand Out by Love
Standing in the Rain by Husker Du
Standing on the Verge of Getting It On by Funkadelic
and 2 by Velvet Crush: Standing Down and Standing Still.
Back to work for me!
Oh, Stand! by Sly was on the iPod too. That was one of the first LPs I ever bought as a kid with my own hard earned money!
Cheating is one thing, markkay, but as a rule in any Last Man Standing we ask that folks keep things to one entry per post. Don’t Bogart the thread!
That said, glad we could break up the boredom.
“I Can’t Stand the Rain,” Annie Peebles. (Can’t believe The Great One didn’t beat me to it.)
“It Will Stand” – The Showmen
Oh, sorry about that. Won’t happen again!
70’s Nugget “Stand Tall” by Burton Cummings
“I Can’t Stand my Baby” – The Rezillos
“Stand and Deliver” — Adam & The Ants
So why is she your baby if you can’t stand her . Is it an emotionally masochistic relationship? Just saying. Gee I do know its just a title
“Standing out on the Highway” Dire Sraits
I meant “Dire Straits” Dire Straits is a band who never made it.
Why are we holding back so long on REM’s “Stand”? Does anyone really think that’s going to be the ace in the hole?
LAST MAN STANDING!
Or the Tina Turner version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aqWVgmXq7s
I Saw Her Standing There (first b side I ever owned).
Another one for Mod: What’s So Funny About Peace, Love and UnderSTANDing?
One for us teachers: “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”
Same here, ladymissk. Hooked on a Feeling was the first I ever bought, but a few years earlier a babysitter gave me her old scratched Beatles 45 so that was the first I owned.
“Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadows?”
Stand Up And Fight – Bush Tetras
Train In Vain keeps popping into my head, but that doesn’t quite count.
I seem to recall seeing it listed Train In Vain (Stand By Me) in some versions of the album. I think on the CD version it’s printed on the disc.
“The Stand” by the Alarm. I think that refers to the Stephen King book.
I have my doubts about this one. It is about making a stand against an enemy, not standing up on your feet. Applying this STANDard would disqualify #3, 5, 11 and 14.
Um. . . .
Stand By Me? Ben E. King? No. 26????
Stand Up Laughing Falling Down to Cry – The Izzys
I got MY Beatles 45 through a babysitter, too. If she only knew the long-term effects of that simple act…
Another one from The Police: Can’t Stand Losing You
Mrs CDM chimes in with Stand By Your Man
Stand Together – Beastie Boys
Can’t Stand Me Now-The Libertines
you may sit down.
“Solitude Standing” Suzanne Vega
Yonder Stands The Sinner – Neil Young
Damn, I was holding on to that one.
I Can’t Hardly Stand It – The Cramps/Charlie Feathers
I Can’t Stand Myself (When You Touch Me) — James Brown
Graham Coxon – Standing On My Own Again
Please Don’t Just Stand There — Patty Duke
The Sting-Rays – Standing In Line

Mrs CDM says Stand or Fall by the Fixx.
I’ll Stand By You – The Pretenders
I Stand Tall — The Dictators
“Standing in the Doorway” Bob Dylan or Soul Asylum (you choose).
No Age – Don’t Stand Still
“Stand Up” – Minor Threat
Standing Still – REM
I only have two more that are from very obscure groups. I already used one pretty obscure one, so I’ll sit down now.
Led Zep – Achilles Last Stand
Mrs CDM says “I can’t believe that Can’t Stand It by Wilco was still on the table, now fork over the belt!”
Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing.”
I hope you and Mrs CDM enjoyed your time with the belt!
Yet another “I Can’t Stand It,” this time by the Chambers Brothers.
Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants – Bill Lloyd
“United We STAND”- Brotherhood of Man
I am LMS!
A classic, but I still gotta give it to Sly.
“STAND By Your Man,” bitches! Tammy is the Last Woman Standing.
Mrs CDM shakes her head while giving you a disapproving look and directs you attention to #29.
Jimmie Rodgers, Standin’ on the Corner [Blue Yodel No. 9]
Bruce, “Stand On It”
