Is there a song related to a book, books, or to reading in general that you like or find amusing?

Led Zeppelin’s references to Tolkien- Ramble On and Misty Mountain Hop.
Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights
The Unicorn by The Irish Rovers.
And all the other songs that Shel Silverstein wrote: A Boy Named Sue, The Cover of the Rolling Stone, One’s on the Way, and Sylvia’s Mother to name a few. These tick the literary and funny boxes, since he was a poet, too.

Aww...Led Zeppelin is GREAT reading music!

In the late 80s as a teenager I used to read a lot while listening to music. Occasionally I found that the music resonated with similar themes to what I was reading. Example: Queensryche's Rage for Order CD really lined up with a fantasy trilogy I was reading - the Time Master series by Louise Cooper. That's just one example I can think of off the top of my head.

Now I tend to read in the quiet of my room before bed, and also on the couch while watching sports.

There's a group in Seattle called Bushwick Book Club where musicians create and perform songs based on the book of the month.

My absolute favorite song that I've heard was years ago Debbie Miller doing a really funny song on Alice and Wonderland:

I rarely listen to music while reading with one exception -- when on long flights, I put on my noise canceling headphones/earbuds and listen to the about 100 songs I've downloaded over the years from iTunes while I read on my Kindle, unless it is near Christmas when I listen to holiday tunes.

This makes me happy Linda as I rarely listen to music either and always feel like a complete social outsider. :-)

This question doesn't require any combination of reading and listening to music at the same time -- it centers around whether you like any songs where the content of the song is about a book, books, or reading.

Here's one I forgot that I actually like a lot:
Sting's "Moon Over Bourbon Street" inspired by Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire.

No fans of The Reading Rainbow theme song in this group?

It made me so happy listening to it again after a long time. :)

I made the whole family listen to it.

Speaking of Alice in Wonderland, I completely forgot Jefferson Airplane’s WHITE RABBIT!
