Same Name, Different Song: Vol. 1

Here's a cool new idea for a music blog post. Before you think I'm bragging, I'm not.

There are 10 different song titles here, with 2 completely different songs for each of them. And by completely different, I do mean completely different! Take a listen, and comment here or on the site where you saw this post with your favorite artist for each title. There will be more of these to come. Oh yeah, and enjoy!  ~  JH
