Songs By Chuck & Nancy

No...not THAT Chuck & Nancy! That would be tuneless, boring, and likely insufferable. These songs are by actual singers and/or musicians (with one amateur exception), several of whom you might have actually heard of. So don't freak out...just enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Chuck Berry  ~  "Sweet Little Sixteen"

2)  Nancy Sinatra  ~  "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'"

3)  Chuck Wicks  ~  "Stealing Cinderella"

4)  Nancy Wilson  ~  "The Very Thought Of You"

5)  Chuck Brown  ~  "Wind Me Up!"

6)  Nancy LaMott  ~  "Time After Time"

7)  Chuck D ft. Mavis Staples  ~  "Give We The Pride"

8)  Nancy Shoop-Wu  ~  "Pulelehua"

9)  Chuck Mangione  ~  "Feels So Good"

10)  Nanci Griffith  ~  "I Wish It Would Rain"

11)  Chuck Woolery  ~  "You've Made Me So Very Happy"  (Yes, the game show host Chuck Woolery!)

12)  Nancy Ajram  ~  "Ah W Noss"  (Huh! Lebanese pop isn't half bad. I mean, I don't know what she's singing about. But it sure sounds nice!)

13)  Chuck Fenda  ~  "It Hard"

14)  Nancy Reagan  ~  "Thanks For The Memories"  (Calling this "singing" may be a bit of a stretch, but there is music involved and she's saying words over it. Close enough!)

15)  Chuck & Nancy  ~  "Boondocks"  (This is literally two random people named Chuck and Nancy, covering a Little Big Town song at some undisclosed location. Chuck's got a pretty good voice, for the most part, but Nancy could benefit from a few vocal lessons.)

BONUS TRACK:  Chuck Norris  ~  "Eyes Of A Ranger"  (How could I forget the most famous Chuck on the planet???)

More “Forbidden” Songs

Every now and then, I have what I think is an original idea for a music post, then I go back into my “vault” of old posts and realize I’ve already done that topic before. Such is the case with this post, which features songs with the word “Forbidden” in their titles. I originally did a “Forbidden” Songs post over three years ago. However, upon recent reflection, I realized that post was comprised entirely of songs by artists that no one – myself included! – had ever heard of before. I knew I could do better. And so I did. Enjoy!  ~  JH
