Songs About Clues

Think you know what these songs are all about? You don't have a "Clue"! Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers  ~  "Into The Great Wide Open"  (Obviously, the word "Clue" doesn't appear in the title here, but anyone familiar with this classic will recall that the phrase "a rebel without a clue" is repeated often throughout the lyrics.)

2)  Boz Scaggs  ~  "A Clue"

3)  Frente!  ~  "Clue"

4)  Bonnie Tyler  ~  "Rebel Without A Clue"

5)  Halestorm  ~  "No Clue"

6)  Melanie  ~  "I Never Had A Clue"

7)  Paul Weller  ~  "Clues"

8)  The Flaming Lips  ~  "Haven't Got A Clue"

18)  Deep Sea Peach Tree  ~  "Clue"

19)  Gordon Lightfoot  ~  "Too Many Clues In This Room"

20)  Altar Boys  ~  "Have A Clue"  (What is this bargain-basement popcrap? A Christian knockoff of The Beach Boys? I'm really confused and dismayed at the results.)

21)  The 1978ers  ~  "Without A Clue"

22)  Godley & Creme  ~  "Clues"  (I don't really get the point of the album artwork here, but whatever.)

23)  Mannequin Pussy  ~  "Clue Juice"  (Weird band name. But they've got a great punk-rock sound!)

24)  Katie Melua  ~  "Looking For Clues"  (Yes, I know this is the same song as #9 above. But I LOVE Katie Melua, and her version is distinctive enough from the original to merit inclusion here. I'm sure you don't care either way.)

25)  Billy Joe Royal  ~  "Searchin' For Some Kind Of Clue"

Shape-ly Music: Songs About Triangles

Well, this is the last planned "Songs About Shapes" post in the series, unless I change my mind later. Although a cursory search lets me know that most of the other shapes haven't had nearly as many good songs written about them as Squares, Circles, and Triangles have. So this might be it. Enjoy!  ~  JH

BONUS TRACK:  Frente!  ~  "Bizarre Love Triangle"  (This, to me, is the iconic version of this song, even though New Order [not featured here] was the original artist and up-and-coming band Echosmith – song #9 above – did an outstanding cover of it. But I couldn't NOT include Frente! here.)

Songs By Awesome Aussie Female Singers, Vol. 1

For whatever reason, I've always had a strong affinity for Australian female singers. In fact, many of my favorite female singers of all time hail from Down Under. Knowing that, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that this post now exists, nor should it be altogether shocking that I couldn't fit all the good songs/singers into just one post. So tomorrow I'll share another 20 of them. Hope you'll enjoy these as much as I do!  ~  JH

2)  Sarah Blasko  ~  "All I Want"
