Same Name, Different Song: Vol. 1

Here's a cool new idea for a music blog post. Before you think I'm bragging, I'm not. The original concept for this post (and all future volumes under the same theme) was suggested by my friend Daniel Entzminger. There are 10 different song titles here, with 2 completely different songs for each of them. And by completely different, I do mean completely different! Take a listen, and comment here or on the site where you saw this post with your favorite artist for each title. There will be more of these to come. Oh yeah, and enjoy!  ~  JH

*Apologies to Sara Bareilles, who penned and performed a terrific tune called "Love Song." But alas, I had posted that song here recently in my "Songs with 'Song' In The Title" entry. Incidentally, in that same post I included The Cure's original version of the 311 song covered here.
