Songs About Fingers

Sometimes you get a crazy idea, and even though it's crazy you decide to run with it anyway. Usually, those ideas fall flat and result in bland, uninteresting posts. But in this case, it actually turned out quite nicely...because apparently, there have been a great number of quality songs with the word "Finger" or "Fingers" in their titles. Here's but a sampling of them. Enjoy!  ~  JH
