A couple or three years ago, I posted a bunch of Songs About Rainbows. Apparently, I missed more than a few good ones. Since that time, a number of new songs have been released that also merit inclusion. So there’s this incredibly belated follow-up. I hope it was worth the wait. Enjoy? ~ JH
1) Sia ~ “Rainbow”
2) Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole ~ “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”
Of all the things I've blogged about before, this is not one of them. Until now... Enjoy this first set of songs (of two) featuring some kind of abbreviation, initials, or acronym in the title. ~ JH
1) Tori Kelly ~ “P.Y.T.” (“Pretty Young Thing.” Nice cover of a Michael Jackson hit.)
2) Foo Fighters ~ “D.O.A.” (“Dead On Arrival”)
3) Bea Miller ~ “S.L.U.T.” (It’s not what it looks like. This is shorthand for “Sweet Little Unforgettable Thing.”)
4) Guns N’ Roses ~ “I.R.S.” (No double meaning here. It really does stand for “Internal Revenue Service.”)
5) Mariah Carey ~ “H.A.T.E.U.” (“H.A.T.E.U.” actually means “hate you.” So…it’s not really an abbreviation for anything. You tricky trickster, Mariah!)
6) Kasabian ~ “L.S.F.” (“Lost Souls Forever”)
7) Melanie Fiona ~ “L.O.V.E.” (Also not technically an abbreviation.)
8) Black Sabbath ~ “N.I.B.” (Apparently, “Nib” was the nickname of a band member’s beard. Ozzy put the punctuation marks in there to confuse people. Mission accomplished!)
9) Tegan and Sara ~ “BWU” (“Be With U”)
10) Noah And The Whale ~ “L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.” (It means what it looks like it means. N.O.T. A.N. A.B.B.R.E.V.I.A.T.I.O.N. *sigh*)
11) Dua Lipa ft. Charli XCX, Zara Larsson, MØ, & Alma ~ “IDGAF” (I’ll let you Google this abbreviation. Although, seeing as this is the sanitized version of the song, the title should have been shortened further to “IDGA.”)
12) Live ~ “T.B.D.” (“Tibetan Book of the Dead”)
13) Janelle Monáe ft. Erykah Badu ~ “Q.U.E.E.N.” (Also not an abbreviation. I’m spotting a pattern here.)
14) Cream ~ “N.S.U.” (Oddly enough, this stands for “Non-Specific Urethritis.”)
15) Jessie J ~ “L.O.V.E.” (Equally not an actual abbreviation. This may be less the fault of the artists and more the fault of yours truly, the blogger. Sorry…)
16) Rythm Syndicate ~ “P.A.S.S.I.O.N.” (The singer spells out several words in this one. But none of them are abbreviations. He just likes spelling, I guess. Except in the case of his band’s name, which is – apparently – misspelled intentionally. Go figure!)
17) John Mellencamp ~ “R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.” (The “R.O.C.K.” part doesn’t mean anything other than “Rock.” If you don’t know what the “U.S.A.” part means, you’re either not from around here or you’ve been living under a rock. Either way…find out for yourself.)
18) Le Tigre ~ “TKO” ("Technical Knockout")
19) Harry Chapin ~ “W.O.L.D.” (These are the call letters of a fictional radio station at which the song’s narrator is an aging deejay. Thus a double meaning with the letters “O.L.D.”)
20) Florida Georgia Line ~ “H.O.L.Y.” ("High On Loving You")
