Songs About Staying At Home

My  family and I may be a bit of an anomaly these days, but we're still doing a fair bit of staying at home. So, I decided to do a post of Songs About Staying At Home. But for those of you who are somewhat less homebody-ish, don't worry -- you're up next (with Songs About Going Out). Enjoy!  ~  JH

The “Look” & “Feel” Of Songs, Vol. 1

In my 6+ years of music blogging, I have posted Songs About Feelings, The Feels, and Feeling It. But since the subject of "feelings" is utterly ubiquitous in music, here's a new variation of previously unposted "Feel" Songs, this time paired with "Look" Songs as well. Because, I mean, why not? Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs With Abbreviations In The Title, Vol. 2

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”)
