“Easy” & “Hard” Songs, Vol. 1

A long time ago, I'm not sure exactly when, on my original blog I posted a set of "Easy" and "Hard" Songs. But since then, a) I've gotten better at finding a good variety of quality songs by people you've actually heard of; b) new songs have come out that also merit inclusion; and c) I just felt like doing this theme all over again. And there were plenty of good ones, so this is part 1 of 2. Enjoy!  ~  JH

“Bath” & “Body” Songs, Vol. 1

Here's a bunch of songs with the words "Bath" and/or "Body" in their titles, the first in a two-part series. Obviously inspired by the name of that popular (IS it still popular? I dunno!) retail store that's chock full of smell-good stuff. Can you tell I'm a clueless guy? Anyways, enjoy!  ~  JH
