Songs About Hollering

Sometimes you just feel like hollering. (Or yelling, for you folks who aren’t from around here.) For all the times when you just feel like raising your voice in a screaming fashion, there’s these songs. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Spice Girls  ~  “Holler”

2)  Randy Travis & Josh Turner  ~  “Deeper Than The Holler”  (Okay, so this one’s not actually *about* hollering. But it’s such a good song that its exclusion from this post would be a crying shame.)

3)  Honey Mustard  ~  “Holler On”

4)  Marvin Gaye  ~  “Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)”

5)  Baha Men  ~  “Holla”

6)  Hayes Carll  ~  “Stomp And Holler”

7)  Girls’ Generation  ~  “Holler”  (Because this post – and this blog in general – was suffering a severe deficit of K-Pop songs, there’s this…)

8)  Blue October  ~  “Holler”

9)  Coco Jones  ~  “Holla At The DJ”

10)  The Lost Trailers  ~  “Holler Back”

12)  Taj Mahal  ~  “Strong Man Holler”

13)  Gwen Stefani  ~  “Hollaback Girl”

14)  Johnny Russell  ~  “The Son Of Hickory Holler’s Tramp”  (Nope, not *about* hollering, either. I guess maybe the word “about” in the title of the post should be a bit loosely defined this time around.)

15)  Trin-I-Tee 5:7 ft. J. Moss  ~  “Holla”

16)  John Prine  ~  “Quit Hollerin’ At Me”

17)  Adrienne Young & The Old Faithful  ~  “Hills And Hollers”

23)  The Shook Twins  ~  “Holler It Down”

24)  Leo “Bud” Welch  ~  “Girl In The Holler”

25)  Rebecca & Fiona  ~  “Holler”  (The Swedes were jealous of the K-Pop entry in this post, so they had to get in on the fun, too. Another Swedish girl group almost made the cut, too, but not enough slots were available.)

Songs With "Keep" In The Title

One might automatically think that this would be the first part of a two-parter in my never-ending series of "Opposites" music posts. However, that would not be the case. For one thing, I've done way too many "Opposites" posts of late anyway. Secondly, I couldn't think of a word that was a natural opposite to the word "Keep." But there were still lots of "Keep" songs I wanted to post. So here they are… Enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  2Pac  ~  "Keep Ya Head Up"

2)  Zac Brown Band  ~  Keep Me In Mind"

3)  Bon Jovi  ~  "Keep The Faith"

4)  The Human League  ~  "(Keep Feeling) Fascination"  (This man is wearing a lot of makeup. Hmm...)

5)  Kelly Rowland  ~  "Keep It Between Us"

6)  Sugarland  ~  "Keep You"

7)  Weezer  ~  "Keep Fishin'"  (Featuring The Muppets, for those of you who like Muppets – of which I am one.)

8)  Billy Joel  ~  "Keeping The Faith"

9)  Soul II Soul  ~  "Keep On Movin'"

10)  Reba McEntire  ~  "I Keep On Lovin' You"

11)  Needtobreathe  ~  "Keep Your Eyes Open"

12)  Wild Belle  ~  "Keep You"

13)  Curtis Harding  ~  "Keep On Shining"  (This song would be right at home with the Motown songs of old. But it's a relatively recent song.)

14)  Ricky Van Shelton  ~  "Keep It Between The Lines"  (Whatever happened to this guy? He was one of the better country singers in the '80s and '90s.)

15)  Rival Sons  ~  "Keep On Swinging"

16)  Julia Child  ~  "Keep On Cooking"  (What will they think of next?)

18)  Eddie Vedder  ~  "Can't Keep"

19)  Garbage  ~  "The Trick Is To Keep Breathing"

20)  REO Speedwagon  ~  "Keep On Loving You"  (This is one of the stupidest story lines for a music video that I've ever seen. Especially considering that the song itself isn't that bad.)

21)  Tony Bennett & Aretha Franklin  ~  "How Do You Keep The Music Playing?"  (Wow, what a duet! This is magical!)

22)  Michael McDonald  ~  "I Keep Forgettin'"  ("I just hit the east side of the LBC, on a mission tryin' to find Mr. Warren G"...Oh wait, that's a different song altogether. Sampled from this song, but not this song. Not by a long shot.)

23)  American Authors  ~  "Keep Me Dreaming"

24)  Annie Lennox  ~  "Keep Young And Beautiful"

25)  Enya  ~  "How Can I Keep From Singing?"  (That's a good question, Enya. When I figure that out, I'll let you know!)
