Songs For The Senses, Vol. 3: Smell


This was the most difficult of the senses so far, as far as finding a good number of decent songs to include. As it was, I had to include not only songs with "Smell" in the title, but also ones containing the word "Scent" (which I think is perfectly acceptable). Even at that, a good number of the songs included here are by artists who we shall call "lesser-known" (which is code for, you've never heard of them and would never have a reason of hearing of them were it not for this post). But they're still all good, nonetheless. Enjoy!  ~  JH

5)  "Weird Al" Yankovic  ~  "Smells Like Nirvana"




6)  bRUNA  ~  "Smell Memory"




7)  Chris Rice  ~  "Smell The Color 9"  (No real music video here, but far too good a song not to include in this post.)

9)  Lynyrd Skynyrd  ~  "That Smell"
