Songs About Mouths

Here begins a miniseries of posts featuring songs about different parts of the mouth. These are actually Songs About Mouths, but in the coming days and/or weeks you can also expect to see songs about lips, tongues, throats, and etc. Because I don't know why, that's why! Enjoy?  ~  JH

"Only" Songs

I love picking a really broad theme – or, in this case, songs with a really common word in the titles – for a post (or series). When there are, literally, hundreds of songs to choose from, the chances are good that the majority of the songs I'll gather are: a) well-known by most folks; and b) of the highest quality. Such is the case these "Only" Songs. And yes, there will be more to come in the next couple of days. Enjoy!  ~  JH

I adore Lily's version, however, so they're both present and accounted for. Keane's version will appear in the third installment in this series.)
