Songs By What-The-What Bands


Here's yet another music post born out of my desire to include a particular song and having no other good reason to do so. So I made something up. As it will quickly become obvious, all the bands represented here have a word (be it a verb, noun, or preposition), then the word "the", and another word in their names. For example, Foster The People, Minus The Bear, Cage The Elephant, etc. Apparently, this particular band-naming technique has been going on for quite some time yet has become more and more prevalent in recent years – so I had oodles of bands to choose from. These are the ones that made the cut. Enjoy?  ~  JH
