Songs With "In The" In The Title, Vol. 1

While this is admittedly a catchy (if confusing) title for a post, that's not its sole purpose. Over time, I had noticed a preponderance of songs with the prepositional phrase "in the _______" in their titles, and I thought there might just be enough good ones to fill a post. As it turns out, there were enough to fill two posts – this is the first half of a two-parter. Hope you'll enjoy listening to these as much as I did when gathering them.  ~  JH
