Mr. Berg's Literary Playlist

Mr. Berg* challenged me to create a playlist with songs that reference literature.
Here it is:

1-The Cure - Killing an Arab : Albert Camus - L'Étranger

2- Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights : Emily Brontë - Wuthering Heights
3. Tom Waits - Alice : Lewis Caroll - The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland
4. Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet : William Shakespeare - Romeo and Juliet
5. Klaxons – Gravity’s Rainbow : Thomas Pynchon – Gravity’s Rainbow
6. Of Montreal - Voltaic Crusher : James Joyce - Ulysses
7. David Bowie - 1984 : George Orwell – 1984
8. T. Rex - Ride A White Swan : ancient Greek myth of Aphrodite. She supposedly rode a white swan.
9. Brian Eno - Kurt's Rejoinder : Kurt Schwitters – Ursonate
10. The Pixies - Mr. Grieves : Doctor Dolittle - Hugh Lofting


* Note to Mr. Berg: This was sooooo hard!
