ATTENTION: Listening to these songs will NOT put a virus on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or what-have-you. As to what listening to them WILL do...well, that all depends on how you respond to music. Personally, it makes me happy. And I hope it will have the same effect on you. Enjoy! ~ JH 1) Björk ~ "Virus"

Some days you feel like a renegade, and some days you simply like a song with "Renegade" in the title and seek to find a way to include it in a post. Today is the latter. Enjoy! ~ JH

This post started out as a challenge to myself to find songs with the capital city of each country in Europe in their titles. I failed in that effort (not all of Europe's nations are represented here), but I was able to find quite a few of them. And the resulting songs are not too shabby. Enjoy! ~ JH
