“Flaming” Songs

These songs are ON FIRE! Well, at the very least they’re “flaming.” Which could mean that they’re engulfed in flames, are bright orange or red in color, or are extraordinarily passionate about something. Some of the songs are simply about flames, whether of the hot and burning kind or of the metaphorical romantic kind. One of them is about Cheetos. Whatever you’re looking for in these songs, it’s probably here. So…enjoy!  ~  JH
