Planetary Songs, Vol. 4: "Uranus" & "Neptune"

Here's the fourth installment in my latest series of posts featuring songs with the names of the planets in their titles. And let me just tell you...it was really, really difficult to find 10 songs that weren't scatological or sexual in nature with the word "Uranus" in the title. (For obvious reasons.) I think I was mostly successful, though one of the songs may be borderline risque, at least from a visual standpoint. Oh yeah, and there's 10 songs about Neptune in here, too. You may think this is the last post in the series, but count me among the naysayers who still thinks Pluto is worthy of a spot amongst the planets, as it always was when I was growing up – so Pluto will get its own post tomorrow. Enjoy?  ~  JH
