“They,” “Them,” & “Their” Songs, Vol. 1

Today begins a multi-part series of posts featuring songs with personal pronouns in their titles. Since this "theme," as it were, could doubtless generate an infinite number of qualifying songs, I decided to narrow the scope to only songs that begin with one of these words. Even so, there's two posts worth of songs for the first set. Which, if you read the title of the post, should be self-evident. "They," "Them," and "Their" Songs, Vol. 1 begins...NOW! Enjoy!  ~  JH

Popular Songs Of 1999, Vol. 1
