kodachrome (Simon and Garfunkel), freeze-frame (J-Geils Band) and, of course, Picture Book (Kinks) Fun …

Leica Virgin?

“I Turn My Camera On” by Spoon

“Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)” ~ A Flock of Seagulls.

‘Camera’ ~ R.E.M. [off of Reckoning] I like this game.

What? Is no one old enough to remember Ringo Starr: Photograph?

Pachebel’s Canon

Amy Stein did a post like this last year and came up with a good list: http://amysteinphoto.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-take-pictures-photographic-pictures.html

…with a tip of the Hatlo Hat to Innis

Girls on Film – Duran Duran, of course! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gudEttJlw3s&feature=related

jack johnson makes me vomit a little in the back of my mouth.

paint a vulgar picture kind of refers to “painting”,eh, but is SO awesome nevertheless. tom waits “picture in a frame” comes to mind. not the best “song” ever, but “the harsh truth of the camera eye” by morrissey (on viva hate, I think) is very on-topic.

There’s a song I found by accident on iTunes called “Camera Shy” which I like very much. It’s by a band called The Mendoza Line. I also have Duran Duran’s “Skin Trade” on my Photography playlist in addition to “Girls on Film.” M

“You’re gorgeous” by Babybird. Check the lyrics. + “Photograph”~ Nickelback

In Pictures – Alabama Pictures and Memories – Alabama Picture to Burn – Taylor Swift I’m pretty sure Kenny Rogers had one. But really, Kodachrome should be in the top 10. It’s an all time classic.

‘Pachelbel’s Canon’ ~ excellent work, Richard. Surely there must be more… ‘Sinar the Times’ ~ Prince

“Photograph” by Air

I have to add The Speedies “Let Me Take Your Photo” featuring a young Gregory Crewdson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8XluynKckE

What, no J Giles band? Both Freeze Frame http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwyy-6J9JqM and Centerfold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx6t11D99tA could qualify.

‘lil wallet picture’ by Richard Buckner…

How about The Who’s “Pictures of Lily”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G11oIadJfhI

cat power “taking people” the kinks “picture book”

I’d have picked the Spoon song but someone got there first! So instead I’ll take “Turning Japanese” by the Vapors.

‘photograph’ by eagle*seagull

Thursday- “understanding in a car crash” this lyric is about the photos of the wreck? “The Cameras on and the cameras click We open up the lens and can’t stop” thursday- “a whole in the world” “Adjust the aperture to focus on the negative Like phosphors in the darkroom ignite Like dodging faces in the corner of the print Frame by frame this hole is opening and we fall in” photo lesson in a song! o and U2- city of blinding lights “Don’t look before you laugh Look ugly in a photograph Flash bulbs purple irises The camera can’t see” i love this post!

Here’s another… “Click, Click, Click, Click” by Bishop Allen

Nice collection! But i miss Siouxsie & the Banshees “Red light” in this Top10: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilBjc3wWwDA ;-)

The Depeche Mode song is awesome – first time (shamefully) that I’ve heard it. Here’s one that has been missed from all comments – Blondie: Picture This
