Oak Ridge Boys: My Baby is American Made

Lyric, “I got a Nikon camera, a Sony color TV, but the one I love is from the USA, she’s standing next to me.”

 

[Mark S Abeln]

I wondered, "How many songs have 'camera' or 'photo' in their lyrics?"

As it turns out, quite a few:

I would say Paul Simon with Kodachrome, but honestly, Deborah Harry is more pleasant to look at.

Rod Stewart: Every Picture Tells a Story

 

[OldSchoolNewSchool]

Okay, mine are very, very . . . very loosely connected with photography.

"Borderline" by Madonna. I know it's not about photography, but every time I hear this song, I think of the white border on an 8x10 glossy black-and-white photo. The music video of this song did show multiple photoshoots and Madonna going through some photos.

"Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley. It's a critique about the evening news, which of course, in the old days was shot on film. IMHO, one of the greatest songs ever written.

Go ahead and flame me; I know, I know, they're both a stretch when trying to relate to photography.
