Songs By Artists With Presidential Names, Vol. 1

I get a lot of dumb ideas, and sometimes I blog about them. The other day, I wondered if I could find a singer or band whose name included the surname of each of our 44 Presidents. And, as it turns out, I could! Here's the first 22 of them. If enough people are interested to view this post, I'll post the other half this afternoon. If not, I'll post it tomorrow. (You see, you can't really escape it.) Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Washington  ~  "How To Tame Lions"




2)  Bryan Adams  ~  "Please Forgive Me"




3)  Jefferson Airplane  ~  "White Rabbit"




4)  Madison Beer  ~  "Melodies"  (I apologize for the appearance of Justin Bieber in this clip.)




5)  Marilyn Monroe  ~  "I Wanna Be Loved By You"




6)  Yolanda Adams  ~  "Open My Heart"




7)  Michael Jackson  ~  "Black Or White"




8)  The Van Buren Boys  ~  "All Over Again"




9)  George Harrison  ~  "Got My Mind Set On You"




10)  Bonnie Tyler  ~  "Total Eclipse Of The Heart"




11)  The Chardon Polka Band  ~  "Two Sisters Polka"  (I know this one is ridiculously random, but you have no idea how hard it is to find a band or artist with the word "Polk" in their name. This one qualifies…just barely…so here it is.)




12)  Taylor Swift  ~  "22"




13)  On Fillmore  ~  "Master Moon"




14)  Webb Pierce  ~  "In The Jailhouse Now"




15)  Buchanan  ~  "Run Faster"
