Angewandte's songbook

Out here I spoke about attempted humor in graphical abstracts of Angewandte. The abstract often begins with a few words aiming to create some hilarity.

I have no idea whether Jerry Lee Lewis could laugh about it (or Otis Blackwell and Jack Hammer).

It seems to be a hype to use song titles (or derivatives) for this. Many other songs can be identified.

Chubby Checker:
Let's twist again
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.200704465)

The Beatles of course:
You say you want a resolution
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.200704021)

All together now
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.200703877)

Queen:
Who wants to live forever?
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.200704137)

Culture Club:
Chemical chameleon
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.200704520)

Pete Seeger (and of course The Byrds):
Turn, turn, turn
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.200704602)
Yeah I know it's from Ecclesiastes 3, verses 1–8.

Wilbert Harrison (or Brian Ferry or Bob Dylan)
Let's stick together
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.200704654)

Maybe in the future musicians will be rated according to the amount of songs that have been used by Angewandte. The Beatles are number 1 right now.

Would that be the Impact Factor for musicians? I wonder if any other journals do that...I better keep an eye out.
