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"
2) LaFee ~ "Virus" (I don't speak German, so I don't have a clue what she's singing about. But that sultry voice of hers is all I really need to hear. I'm sold!)

25) Swollen Members ~ "Venom"
26) Stone Temple Pilots ~ "Vasoline"(When I first got the idea for the post, this was the first song that came to mind. Even though the word "flies" doesn't appear in the title – nor does "venom," for that matter – the phrase "flies in the vasoline" [sic] is sung often throughout.)
This is the first installment in a multi-part series featuring songs with the names of playing cards in their titles. Because I'm full of ideas, and occasionally some of them are good, that's why. Enjoy! ~ JH
