Popular Songs Of 2008, Vol. 1

It's that time of year again when I turn back time and post songs from the previous decades. I do this both for the sake of reminiscence and to remind myself, and by extension all of you, how old I am/we are. These songs are, remarkably, ten years old as of this year. As are the ones in the three posts that will follow this. Then we'll move on to the twenty-year-old songs, and boy, will you feel old then! (Stay tuned, as it only gets worse – we will go way back before we're done!) Enjoy?  ~  JH
