Interesting (to me anyway...)

Watching Tim Roth in Lie to Me the other night, I started counting up all the TV shows and movies that were named for (or the same as) Tom Waits songs. Here's what I came up with so far:

Barber Shop (Waits didn't have any sequels to this song)
Shoot The Moon (song = I'll Shoot The Moon)
Romeo Is Bleeding (the movie didn't quite capture the essence of the song)
Dead Presidents (lyric from More Than Rain - Frank's Wild Years)
Jersey Girl (I like the song better)
Lie To Me ("I have no use for the truth!")
King Kong (to be fair, Waits' song was actually a cover of a song by Daniel Johnston. I've no idea what the song was based on)

There's probably more.
