Anyone have any favorite songs about Photography/Pictures?

My New Favorite Song is-- Nickelback: "Photograph"

God knows I hate Nickleback. Could they whine anymore? They should have gone country. Would have fit right in.

The first song that comes to mind for me is Kodachrome by Simon & Garfunkel.

Jim Croce (not sure how to spell his name): Photographs and Memories

I think there was a song called "If" ...first line "If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?"

The song's not really about photography....I just like the song and they do sing about a picture on the wall.

I know I am stretching it a bit

Yea that's what I mentioned in the above post. I think it qualifies. The song is wrapped around his memories being spoiled by the picture of his homeroom angle as a centerfold.

How 'bout 'Turning Japanese' by the Vapors.
I've got your picture
of me and you
You wrote I love you
I wrote me too
I sit and stare at it
there's nothing else to do


and then the rest of the verse goes on about this photograph

Not at all ... This is stretching it a bit. :D

Elton John - Circle of Life [opening stanza]

"From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done"
