Songs With Abbreviations In The Title, Vol. 2

Since the first installment of this "series" went over so well, I figured I'd add a Vol. 2. (Actually, that was the plan all along, but it sounds much more impressive if I make it seem like popular demand drives everything I post. Which it most certainly does not.) Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  AC/DC  ~  “T.N.T.”  (“Trinitrotoluene.” But you already knew that, right?)

2)  Jordin Sparks  ~  “S.O.S. (Let The Music Play)”  (It’s Morse code, yo! Google that junk!)

3)  Flo Rida ft. Sage The Gemini & Lookas  ~  “G.D.F.R.”  (“Going Down For Real”)

4)  Sinéad O’Connor  ~  “V.I.P.”  (Usually means “Very Important Person.” But with Sinéad, you never know…)

5)  Yeasayer  ~  “O.N.E.”  (“One’s Not Enough.” Apparently, it's about addiction, which makes sense.)

6)  Rihanna  ~  “SOS”  (See #2 above.)

7)  Village People  ~  “Y.M.C.A.”  (“Young Men’s Christian Association”)

8)  Ashlee Simpson  ~  “L.O.V.E.”  (This one's not technically an abbreviation, either. C’mon, people!)

9)  The Lonely Island ft. Adam Levine & Kendrick Lamar  ~  “YOLO”  (“You Only Live Once”…or, “You Oughta Look Out,” depending on which verse you’re listening to.)

10)  Daphne & Celeste  ~  “U.G.L.Y.”  (Now that’s just mean-spirited! Also…not an actual abbreviation.)

11)  Naughty By Nature  ~  “O.P.P.”  (“Other People’s Property.” Basically…)

12)  ABBA  ~  “SOS”  (See #6 above.)

13)  Blur  ~  “M.O.R.”  (“Middle Of The Road”)

14)  Broods  ~  “L.A.F.”  (This one’s a bit of a mystery. Neither these initials nor a phrase that they might stand for are present in the lyrics.)

15)  OutKast  ~  “B.O.B”  (“Bombs Over Baghdad”)

16)  Katy Perry  ~  “E.T.”  (“Extra Terrestrial.” Duh!)

17)  Lee Greenwood  ~  “I.O.U.”  (This one seems self-explanatory, but…“I Owe You.”)

18)  Rita Ora ft. Tinie Tempah  ~  “R.I.P.”  (“Rest In Peace”)

19)  Pearl Jam  ~  “W.M.A.”  (“White Male American”)

20)  OneRepublic  ~  “A.I.”  (“Artificial Intelligence”)

Songs By Artists/Bands Named Adam & Eve

This is another one of those posts that derived from a fairly mundane motive, but ended up being a fun collection to compile. I had a "leftover" song by a guy named Adam that wouldn't quite fit into a recent post anywhere, but I still wanted to use it; so I decided to see how many artists or bands I could find with either Adam or Eve (or both) in their names and post a song by each one that I found. This is what I came up with. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs About Horses

I just know I will have missed someone's favorite song about horses, or will have included a least-favorite version of someone's favorite song about horses, and that's okay. I don't claim this to be a comprehensive list, but I do think it's a pretty good one. Equestrian enthusiasts – and everyone else, too – on your mark, get set, enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Alicia Keys & Adam Levine  ~  "Wild Horses"

2)  U2  ~  "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"

3)  Scissor Sisters  ~  "Only The Horses"

7)  Moby  ~  "Pale Horses"

8)  Ellie Goulding  ~  "Guns And Horses"

9)  Asking Alexandria  ~  "If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once…You Should Get Out Of The Circus"  (I absolutely abhor "screamo" music, but this song's title was far too ridiculous for me not to include it here.)

10)  PJ Harvey  ~  "Horses In My Dreams"

11)  Elton John ft. Luciano Pavarotti  ~  "Live Like Horses"

12)  Toby Keith ft. Willie Nelson  ~  "Beer For My Horses"  (This video's cheesy as all-get-out, and Toby couldn't act his way out of a Stetson hat, but the song's pretty good.)

13)  Bat For Lashes  ~  "Horse And I"

14)  America  ~  "A Horse With No Name"

15)  Belinda Carlisle  ~  "Runaway Horses"

16)  John Denver  ~  "Eagles And Horses"

19)  The Cardigans  ~  "A Good Horse"

20)  Nazareth  ~  "All The King's Horses"

21)   Shakira  ~  "Poem To A Horse"  (And the runner-up for weirdest title in the post goes to…Shakira!)

22)  Johnny Horton  ~  "Comanche (The Brave Horse)"

23)  Willie Nelson ft. Merle Haggard  ~  "A Horse Called Music"  (Because you can never really have too much Willie Nelson…)

24)  Jethro Tull  ~  "Heavy Horses"
