"If" & "When" Songs, Vol. 1

What do you do when you've just done three posts featuring (at least in part) songs with the word "If" in their titles, and you have too many good "If" songs left over that you still want to use? Why, you come up with another related word to pair with "If" and you do two more posts, of course! Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs With Nationalities In The Titles, Vol. 1

This latest music miniseries was suggested by my friend, Daniel Entzminger – and a great idea it was, too. Each song in this series features a nationality (or demonym, if you will) in its title. First up, we have a collection of "Canadian," "Mexican," "Irish," "English," "Greek," and "Spanish" songs. Some really good stuff here, both newer and older – I'm sure you will enjoy!  ~  JH
