Songs By Artists With Double Letters In Their Names

This is another one of those posts that started because I wanted to include a certain song, but couldn't think of a good-enough excuse to post it, and so I made up a somewhat-cockeyed-yet-rather-appropriate scheme that would allow me to post the song anyway, and I ended up being surprised at how well it all worked out and how many other quality songs also fit said scheme, resulting in a surprisingly successful post overall. And yes, I know that was a run-on sentence. Sue me! Long story short, this is a collection of songs by artists whose names (or band names) have repeated letters – or double letters – in them. For example, the triply double-lettered singer, Pharrell Williams, whose delightfully "Happy" song was the inspiration for this post and is therefore included within. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  Aaron Hall  ~  "I Miss You"




2)  Debbie Gibson  ~  "Lost In Your Eyes"




3)  Aloe Blacc  ~  "The Man"  (I don't know why the video description says "Explicit" – there's nothing offensive here…except perhaps the singer's "explicit" self-confidence. Ha, ha!)




4)  Addison Road  ~  "All That Matters"




5)  EELS  ~  "Saturday Morning"




6)  Biffy Clyro  ~  "Mountains"




7)  Maggie McClure  ~  "The Girl You Want To Be"




8)  Aaron Buchholz  ~  "Go Tell It On The Mountain"  (I know, this is sort of a Christmas song – but give me a break on this one. First off, the guy's got a phenomenally good voice and plays every single instrument here – flawlessly. Secondly, it's very difficult to find artists with "HH" somewhere in their names. This guy qualifies. So there!)




9)  Tedashii ft. Lecrae  ~  "Dum Dum"




10)  JJ Heller  ~  "Boat Song"




11)  Mikky Ekko  ~  "Kids"




12)  Pharrell Williams  ~  "Happy"




13)  Tammy Wynette  ~  "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad"





14)  Kinnie Starr  ~  "Discovered"




15)  Foo Fighters  ~  "Everlong"




16)  Fiona Apple  ~  "Hot Knife"




17)  Saqqara Dogs  ~  "Greenwich Meantime"




18)  Carrie Underwood  ~  "Blown Away"




19)  Jessie J  ~ "Who You Are"




20)  Patty Smyth  ~  "No Mistakes"




21)  Vacuum  ~  "I Breathe"




22)  V V Brown  ~  "Shark In The Water"




23)  Skewwhiff  ~  "Gizmo"



24)  The Fixx  ~  "One Thing Leads To Another"




25)  Mayya Yordanova  ~  "Pyasachna Sleda"  (NOTE: If you don't speak Slovak, you might not get much out of this one. Whatever she's singing about, it certainly sounds pretty!)





26)  ZZ Top  ~  "I Gotsta Get Paid"
