"Enjoy"-able Songs

I'm always imploring you, Dear Listener, to enjoy these posts. Well, this is one that you may, quite literally, enjoy, as it consists entirely of songs with the word "Enjoy" in their titles. Some are fairly well-known songs by well-known artists, others are much lesser-known songs by virtually unknown artists, and the rest fall somewhere in between. All have the distinct potential to be "enjoy"-able. So, what are you waiting for? Enjoy!  ~  JH

"Orange," "Grey," & "Yellow" Songs

Here's the first entry in what will be a whopping 7-part series. This is another one recently suggested by my friend, Daniel Entzminger. The theme – as if it isn't obvious – is songs with colors in the titles. Some colors – such as black, white, blue, red, and green – will get their own posts, while others with fewer qualifying songs will be lumped together as these are here. Contrary to how it would appear, I didn't get crazily in-depth with the variety of colors – just the basic ones that any child could name, if prompted. Hope you enjoy them!  ~  JH
