"Barely" Songs

These are "Barely" Songs. Which is not to say that they barely qualify as songs. In fact, they're quite good. The "Barely" in question appears in the title of each, which is the single unifying theme of the songs. Otherwise, they're all completely unrelated. As per usual... Ready, set, enjoy! ~ JH

19 Songs With "Nineteen" In The Title

My wife is nineteen weeks pregnant today. So here's 19 songs with "Nineteen" (or "19") in their titles to celebrate that fact. Did I mention that these are getting harder and harder to put together? Did I also mention that nobody's twisting my arm to make me do them? However, I still managed to find the "required" number of songs, and my more music-savvy readers (listeners?) will be able to recognize at least 8 to 10 of these artists by name, if not by these songs. Only a few more weeks of these before I give up on them entirely, so enjoy them while they last!  ~  JH
