“Mad” Songs, Vol. 1

Here's a bunch of great songs with the word "Mad" in their titles. I'm not posting them because I'm particularly "mad" about anything; I just happened to randomly run across several of these while listening to music last week and thought I'd bring them all together (and some of their friends) in a couple of posts. If you like these, there's more where they came from tomorrow. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs By What-The-What Bands

Here's yet another music post born out of my desire to include a particular song and having no other good reason to do so. So I made something up. As it will quickly become obvious, all the bands represented here have a word (be it a verb, noun, or preposition), then the word "the", and another word in their names. For example, Foster The People, Minus The Bear, Cage The Elephant, etc. Apparently, this particular band-naming technique has been going on for quite some time yet has become more and more prevalent in recent years – so I had oodles of bands to choose from. These are the ones that made the cut. Enjoy?  ~  JH
