Ideas for Songs is a cassette by Destroyer, released in 1997.

[1] The tape was a result of Dan Bejar being asked to contribute a song under the Destroyer moniker for a various artists compilation being curated at that time.

As a response he submitted a cassette with 20 songs for them to choose from.

[2] The cover art features the 1977 painting Imperial Nude: Paul Rosano by the artist Sylvia Sleigh.

Ideas for Songs was reissued by Triple Crown Recordings of Canada (formerly known as Granted Passage Cassettes) on vinyl on April 5, 2011.
