Songs About “Great Expectations”

A couple of weeks ago I started a series of posts featuring songs with the names of famous novels or characters or well-known phrases from literature. The first post featured Songs About "Lolita," then I promptly neglected to do any further literature-themed posts. Well, now is as good a time as any to resume the series. So...enjoy!  ~  JH

More “Naked” Songs

About three years ago, I posted a bunch of songs with the word "Naked" in their titles, with the caveat that the word in the title of each was more metaphorical than literal. The songs, I explained, denoted one's lack of embellishment, lack of concealment or disguise, or one's honesty and transparency. Since then, I've discovered a lot of good "Naked" Songs that I missed, and added a few new ones that were released in the interim. That's why there's this tremendously tardy terminus... Enjoy!  ~  JH
