Every Friday at work we do a little contest. We ask people to name songs related to a given topic, very much like we have done here with the Name of a Girl thread.
A couple of weeks ago the topic was quite a challenging one: Songs with a Literary Reference, all those songs that contain a reference to a Literary subject.
I start with Sympathy for The Devil that was inspired by Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita”

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them — Ding-dong, bell.

J’aimais surtout ses jolis yeux
Plus clairs que l’étoile des cieux,
J’aimais ses yeux malicieux.
Dansons la gigue!
