“Fancy” Songs

Here's a bunch of songs, most of which have nothing to do with each other, except that the word "Fancy" appears in the title of each. Sound familiar? Oh yeah...maybe because I do these sorts of posts all the time. And then I sign off by imploring you to...enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox ft. Ashley Stroud  ~  “Fancy”  (I much prefer this version to Iggy Azalea’s. But if you must, here’s the link to the original song.)

2)  Bread  ~  “Fancy Dancer”

3)  Jermaine Jackson & DEVO  ~  “Let Me Tickle Your Fancy”
