Songs About Being Abducted (Well, Sort Of)

Here's a delightful collection of Songs About Being Abducted. Well, not really. While the songs herein ARE about being taken away, carried away, spirited away, stolen, captured, kidnapped, and, yes, even abducted, most of the abductions are figurative and should be interpreted as such. Enjoy!  ~  JH
