Since the first installment of this "series" went over so well, I figured I'd add a Vol. 2. (Actually, that was the plan all along, but it sounds much more impressive if I make it seem like popular demand drives everything I post. Which it most certainly does not.) Enjoy! ~ JH
1) AC/DC ~ “T.N.T.” (“Trinitrotoluene.” But you already knew that, right?)
2) Jordin Sparks ~ “S.O.S. (Let The Music Play)” (It’s Morse code, yo! Google that junk!)
3) Flo Rida ft. Sage The Gemini & Lookas ~ “G.D.F.R.” (“Going Down For Real”)
4) Sinéad O’Connor ~ “V.I.P.” (Usually means “Very Important Person.” But with Sinéad, you never know…)
5) Yeasayer ~ “O.N.E.” (“One’s Not Enough.” Apparently, it's about addiction, which makes sense.)
6) Rihanna ~ “SOS” (See #2 above.)
7) Village People ~ “Y.M.C.A.” (“Young Men’s Christian Association”)
8) Ashlee Simpson ~ “L.O.V.E.” (This one's not technically an abbreviation, either. C’mon, people!)
9) The Lonely Island ft. Adam Levine & Kendrick Lamar ~ “YOLO” (“You Only Live Once”…or, “You Oughta Look Out,” depending on which verse you’re listening to.)
10) Daphne & Celeste ~ “U.G.L.Y.” (Now that’s just mean-spirited! Also…not an actual abbreviation.)
11) Naughty By Nature ~ “O.P.P.” (“Other People’s Property.” Basically…)
12) ABBA ~ “SOS” (See #6 above.)
13) Blur ~ “M.O.R.” (“Middle Of The Road”)
14) Broods ~ “L.A.F.” (This one’s a bit of a mystery. Neither these initials nor a phrase that they might stand for are present in the lyrics.)
15) OutKast ~ “B.O.B” (“Bombs Over Baghdad”)
16) Katy Perry ~ “E.T.” (“Extra Terrestrial.” Duh!)
17) Lee Greenwood ~ “I.O.U.” (This one seems self-explanatory, but…“I Owe You.”)
18) Rita Ora ft. Tinie Tempah ~ “R.I.P.” (“Rest In Peace”)
19) Pearl Jam ~ “W.M.A.” (“White Male American”)
20) OneRepublic ~ “A.I.” (“Artificial Intelligence”)
