"Naked" Songs

Merriam-Webster provides a wide variety of definitions for the word "naked." The most common meaning is "not covered by clothing." However, "naked" can also mean "lacking embellishment," "unarmed [or] defenseless," "devoid of concealment or disguise," as well as "unaided by any optical device or instrument." These secondary definitions of "naked" abound in the lyrics of these songs. Indeed, despite its title, this post is about as "PG" as it gets. Sorry to disappoint some of you. And I'm glad I didn't let the rest of you down. Enjoy?  ~  JH

Songs With "South" In The Title

Yesterday it was "North" songs. Today it's "South" songs. It would have been so easy to make this one entirely a collection of country songs, as there are so, so many songs written about the South (i.e., the Southern United States). But I didn't want to take the easy way out. Nearly half of these ARE country songs, but the rest are decidedly not. Enjoy!  ~  JH
