Not everything has to be an "Opposites" post or a series. Case in point, this one-off collection of songs with the word "Haunt(s)," "Haunted," or "Haunting" in their titles. Why? I don't know. But you might as well enjoy them anyway! ~ JH

2) Evanescence ~ “Haunted”
3) Crash Test Dummies ~ “The Ghosts That Haunt Me”
4) Tanya Stephens ~ “Back To Haunt Me”
5) Sir Sly ~ “You Haunt Me”
6) Taylor Swift ~ “Haunted”

Here's a novel, if altogether-oddball idea. This is part one in what will be a three-part series featuring songs with silverware in their titles. First up, Spoons. Next time, Forks. And finally, Knives. Enjoy! ~ JH

It's a bird… It's a plane… Nope, it's just a bunch of songs with "Superman" in the title, several of which are actually about the Man of Steel. Amazingly enough, there were quite a few songs to choose from. Check out which ones made the cut. Oh, yeah...and enjoy! ~ JH
1) Daughtry ~ "Waiting For Superman"
2) Joe Brooks ~ "Superman"
3) Five For Fighting ~ "Superman (It's Not Easy)"
4) Bon Jovi ~ "Superman Tonight"
5) Crash Test Dummies ~ "Superman's Song" (Probably the best song this ever band ever did. Which isn't saying much, really, but this song actually is quite good.)
6) Snoop Dogg ft. Willie Nelson ~ "Superman" (Despite the singular reference to pot – not a big shocker considering the parties involved – this is a surprisingly good collaboration between two of the unlikeliest of artists.)
7) R.E.M. ~ "Superman" (No official music video here, but a good song nonetheless.)
8) Lazlo Bane ~ "Superman" (Fans of "Scrubs" might be interested in finally hearing the full version of that show's theme song.)
9) The Big Pink ~ "Hit The Ground (Superman)"
10) Black Coffee ft. Bucie ~ "Superman"
11) The Spankers ~ "Superman" (If the band's name isn't enough to scare you away, I should warn you that the video also involves a large group of people in superhero costumes dancing to reggae music.)
12) Donovan ~ "Sunshine Superman"
13) The Flaming Lips ~ "Waitin' For A Superman (Is It Gettin' Heavy?)"
14) Alison McCallum ~ "Superman" (Never heard of this lady before, but she's got a raw but powerful, Janis Joplin-like vibe to her voice.)
Video wouldn't load properly – click link to view:
16) Big Head Todd & The Monsters ~ "Resignation Superman"
17) Barbra Streisand ~ "Superman"
18) Alanis Morissette ~ "Superman" (Here's Alanis Morissette like you've never heard her before. And probably never will again! As a teenager in the very early-'90s, Alanis was making cheesy pop music that sounded like…well, all the other cheesy pop music back then. Let's just say I much prefer the direction she ended up taking with her music.)
19) Kevin Costner & Modern West ~ "Superman 14"
20) Our Lady Peace ~ "Superman's Dead" (Oh well, I guess that's that, then.)
