Songs With "Twenty-Two" In The Title

As of today, my wife is 22 weeks pregnant with our baby girl. Because of that, there's this post. I keep saying I'm going to stop doing these because it's becoming harder and harder to find enough songs to fit the theme each week. But I've decided to alter the theme so that, whenever I'm unable to find enough songs to fit the number of weeks, I'll just include as many songs as I can find and be done with it. This week, however, I WAS able to find 22 songs. Enjoy!  ~  JH

5)  Iron Maiden  ~  "22 Acacia Avenue"


6)  Lily Allen  ~  "22"




7)  Queensryche  ~  "I Don't Believe In Love / Waiting For 22"

10)  …Whatever That Means ft. Won Jonghee  ~  "Sixty-Eight, Twenty-Two"





11)   Martha And The Muffins  ~  "Twenty Two In Cincinnati"




12)  Goapele  ~  "Catch 22"
