PopTodd Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Glenn Tipton - Sun Kil MoonHope - Martin RivasIt's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - R.E.M. So ... this isn't exactly a rare occurrence? I've been wanting to put together a list of first names used in Fleet Foxes songs. Those guys really love first names in songs. Talking first AND last names... in song TITLES. So, your last two don't really apply here. But, I love Judas Priest, so that Sun Kil Moon title is appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
