Simile Songs

I may have graduated with a degree in English, but that was a long time ago, so I may be wrong about some of these. But, assuming I'm not, here's a collection of songs with similes in their titles. You know, those "like a..." descriptive phrases you see all over the place in sentences. There were plenty of these to choose from, so I tried to pick some of the best. Enjoy!  ~  JH

"Skin" Songs

While this isn't exactly an "Opposites" music post, it is a two-parter featuring songs about somewhat-related words. These are songs with "Skin" in the title – its followup will be songs with "Bone" (or "Bones") in the title. While there are quite a few well-known artists here, some of the best tracks here are by bands/artists you may not have heard of before. Enjoy!  ~  JH
