Songs By Artists With Double Letters In Their Names

This is another one of those posts that started because I wanted to include a certain song, but couldn't think of a good-enough excuse to post it, and so I made up a somewhat-cockeyed-yet-rather-appropriate scheme that would allow me to post the song anyway, and I ended up being surprised at how well it all worked out and how many other quality songs also fit said scheme, resulting in a surprisingly successful post overall. And yes, I know that was a run-on sentence. Sue me! Long story short, this is a collection of songs by artists whose names (or band names) have repeated letters – or double letters – in them. For example, the triply double-lettered singer, Pharrell Williams, whose delightfully "Happy" song was the inspiration for this post and is therefore included within. Enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  Aaron Hall  ~  "I Miss You"

2)  Debbie Gibson  ~  "Lost In Your Eyes"

3)  Aloe Blacc  ~  "The Man"  (I don't know why the video description says "Explicit" – there's nothing offensive here…except perhaps the singer's "explicit" self-confidence. Ha, ha!)

4)  Addison Road  ~  "All That Matters"

5)  EELS  ~  "Saturday Morning"

6)  Biffy Clyro  ~  "Mountains"

7)  Maggie McClure  ~  "The Girl You Want To Be"

8)  Aaron Buchholz  ~  "Go Tell It On The Mountain"  (I know, this is sort of a Christmas song – but give me a break on this one. First off, the guy's got a phenomenally good voice and plays every single instrument here – flawlessly. Secondly, it's very difficult to find artists with "HH" somewhere in their names. This guy qualifies. So there!)

9)  Tedashii ft. Lecrae  ~  "Dum Dum"

10)  JJ Heller  ~  "Boat Song"

11)  Mikky Ekko  ~  "Kids"

12)  Pharrell Williams  ~  "Happy"

13)  Tammy Wynette  ~  "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad"

14)  Kinnie Starr  ~  "Discovered"

15)  Foo Fighters  ~  "Everlong"

16)  Fiona Apple  ~  "Hot Knife"

18)  Carrie Underwood  ~  "Blown Away"

19)  Jessie J  ~ "Who You Are"

20)  Patty Smyth  ~  "No Mistakes"

21)  Vacuum  ~  "I Breathe"

22)  V V Brown  ~  "Shark In The Water"

23)  Skewwhiff  ~  "Gizmo"

24)  The Fixx  ~  "One Thing Leads To Another"

25)  Mayya Yordanova  ~  "Pyasachna Sleda"  (NOTE: If you don't speak Slovak, you might not get much out of this one. Whatever she's singing about, it certainly sounds pretty!)

26)  ZZ Top  ~  "I Gotsta Get Paid"

"Mean" Songs

Just when you thought I'd run out of ideas for "Opposites" music posts, here comes another one. This is – just as it sounds – a collection of songs with "Mean" in the title. Next up, though it's not quite a perfect opposite, per se, is a collection of songs with "Kind" in the title. Enjoy!  ~  JH

20)  Matchbox Twenty  ~  "She's So Mean"

Songs About Hands

I did a post of "Songs About Feet" awhile back, so this one was bound to show up sooner or later. As with that previous post, this is not some wackadoo fetish thing. Rather, it's just a bunch of songs with "Hand" or "Hands" in the titles. Some classic music here by well-known singers and bands, as well as a few real gems by lesser-known artists. Enjoy!  ~  JH
