“Guest” & “Host” Songs

I expected this post to include a lot more well-known songs than it actually does, but I was surprised to find that most of the "Guest" and "Host" titled songs out there – while thoroughly engaging in their own right – are by largely unknown artists. But the Beauty And The Beast song is here, so really what else do you need to know? Click, listen, and enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Beauty And The Beast Cast  ~  “Be Our Guest”

3)  Marillion  ~  “The Uninvited Guest”

4)  Timber Timbre  ~  “Demon Host”

8)  I’m The Hug  ~  “Perfect Host”

11)  Leonard Cohen  ~  “The Guests”  (This gravel-voiced guy is one of the best lyricists/songwriters of all time. If you haven't heard of him, you should work on that right now.)

13)  Ásgeir  ~  “Summer Guest”

14)  Palm Reader  ~  “Noble Host”

Songs About Sneezing

What if I told you I could fill an entire post with songs devoted to the fine art of sneezing? Some about the actual act of sneezing, and some simply with the word "Sneezing" (or one of its forms) in the title? And what if I told you that these songs not only existed, but were all – surprisingly – enjoyable? Would you believe me? Find out for yourself!  ~  JH

"Enjoy"-able Songs

I'm always imploring you, Dear Listener, to enjoy these posts. Well, this is one that you may, quite literally, enjoy, as it consists entirely of songs with the word "Enjoy" in their titles. Some are fairly well-known songs by well-known artists, others are much lesser-known songs by virtually unknown artists, and the rest fall somewhere in between. All have the distinct potential to be "enjoy"-able. So, what are you waiting for? Enjoy!  ~  JH

“Send” & “Receive” Songs

This one started off simply enough. I really like the newest Adele song and wanted to figure out a feasible way to include it in a post. This seemed like a logical choice, but I had no idea if I'd find enough "Receive" songs to balance out all the good "Send" ones I knew I'd find. Turns out it was possible! I hope you will (I think you will)...enjoy!  ~  JH
