I tried to post this yesterday in honor of St. Patrick's Day, but the site was malfunctioning, so here it is a day late...the top 10 all-time "Green" Songs. Enjoy! ~ JH
1) Booker T & The MG's ~ "Green Onions"
2) The Lemon Pipers ~ "Green Tambourine"
3) Nolwenn Leroy ~ "Greensleeves"
4) Tom Jones ~ "Green, Green Grass Of Home"
5) O.C. Smith ~ "Little Green Apples"
6) Sugarloaf ~ "Green-Eyed Lady"
7) Kermit The Frog ~ "(It's Not Easy) Bein' Green"
8) SSgt. Barry Sadler ~ "The Ballad Of The Green Berets"
Here begins another 4-part series, this one featuring songs with "Have" & "Hold" in their titles. Inspired by the classic marriage vows, I suppose. As you can probably imagine, songs with these words in the titles are legion. So I limited myself to only those where "Have" or "Hold" was the first word in the title. And it's STILL a 4-parter! The good thing about having lots of songs to choose from is that the songs that make the cut are generally higher in quality than when I do a smaller post of songs with a rather obscure word in the title. In other words, there're probably going to be a lot of songs you'll like. Enjoy! ~ JH
