Extra "Extra" Songs

Two and a half years ago, I posted a collection of songs with the word "Extra" in their titles. (You can check it out here if you wish.) Recently, I discovered a few good songs that I somehow missed, as well as a few new ones that have been released in the interim. And so there's this extremely belated follow-up. Enjoy!  ~  JH

"Grey" Songs

Here we have a lovely collection of songs about the color "Grey" (or "Gray," depending on whom you ask). Why, you might ask? Aside from the fact that it's one of my most favorite colors, there also happen to be quite a few good songs with that color in their titles. And I wanted them all in one place for safekeeping. Good enough reason? Great! Now enjoy 'em already!  ~  JH

Songs About Being Tied Up

"Tied up" can mean a number of things. It can mean that you're occupied and unable to do whatever it is whoever it is wants you to do. It can mean a metaphorical entanglement in a situation or with a specific person. It can also mean being physically bound in some way. These songs offer a balanced mix of all three of these meanings, and maybe even a couple more. Who knows? Enjoy!  ~  JH
