“In” & “Out” Songs, Vol. 1

Sometimes I get a good idea for a post, but when it comes to determining a reasonable number of songs to include, I find myself redefining "reasonable." Such was the case with this series (yes, series) of posts featuring songs with the words "In" and/or "Out" in their titles. This is part 1, but there will be 4 more follow-ups in the coming days. I'm sorry I got carried away. But also, you're welcome (because they're all really good!). Enjoy!  ~  JH
