When you refer to a specific song...

[Rox]

Do you say said song's name first? Or do you refer the band before the song?

Personally, I say the song's name first.

[Katherine]

It matters if I'm talking out loud or online. Online I usually go Band first, in RL I say the Song first.

[May]

I can't think of any instances where I've started by saying the name of the band first. It's always the name of the song first for me

[Callie]

I can't think of any instances where I've started by saying the name of the band first. It's always the name of the song first for me

Me too.

[Regan]

I guess I say the song first, though I usually can't remember the song name, so then I'd say the band name first. Hah. But online, I say the song first.

[Mongrel]

When I'm online I might type Band Name's "The Song," but IRL it's always "The Song" by Band Name.

[Skynetmain]

Neither. I almost never use the band's name, so both really wouldn't apply since they imply that the band's name is used. I usually try to mention who wrote the song instead of who sings it too. I would refer to it as [song] sung by [person/group] on the off chance I mention the group.

Song first. Sometimes song only. IDK, just my mood affects how I type and when I do anything. Right now, I'm exhausted, cuz it's 8 am for me right now. I just woke up an hour ago and it's gloomy outside.

[Alex]

Song first. Only time I do the opposite is, like Moonie said, when searching.

That, and when I'm naming files on my computer.

[DM was on fire!]

Song name, band name.

So, for instance...
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
(sorry, first thing I thought of)

To, that would be read as Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley.

*shrug*

[Ammer]

I usually say the song's name followed by the artist/band who sings it.

[3lla]

I say the song name and then the band name

[Light]

Always song name, then band name.

[Nikita]

I usually say Song Name by Band.

[Xaidread]

Almost always it's song name by band/singer name. I may write/type it differently if I see it differently.
