"Buy" & "Sell" Songs

Since I was nice enough to limit the songs here to a number that would fit all into one post, the least you can do now is listen to them. And maybe enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  The Beatles  ~  "Can't Buy Me Love"

2)  Sponge  ~  "Wax Ecstatic (To Sell Angelina)"

3)  Kenny Rogers  ~  "Buy Me A Rose"

4)  Megadeth  ~  "Peace Sells"  (Who else do you know who'd follow up a Kenny Rogers song with one by Megadeth? No one? I didn't think so.)

5)  A Camp  ~  "I Can Buy You"

6)  Reel Big Fish  ~  "Sell Out"

7)  McAlister Kemp  ~  "It Don't Buy You Love"

8)  Josh Altman  ~  "I Sell The Dream"  (Of course, this song is ridiculous – but it's supposed to be! It's a joke song whose sole purpose is to donate the proceeds to charity. So don't hate too much!)

9)  Everclear  ~  "I Will Buy You A New Life"

10)  The Cult  ~  "She Sells Sanctuary"

11)  Kayo  ~  "Couldn't Buy Her"

Songs By…With…Well, You Figure It Out!

The overall "theme" in this collection of songs is highly manufactured and rather absurd. The sole reason that this post exists is because there was a certain song I wanted to post and couldn't think of any other way to include it. Since this was basically a dumb excuse to group together a bunch of songs, I'm going to leave it to you, the reader/listener, to figure out what the "theme" is. There are actually two commonalities to all the songs in this group. If you think you've figured them out, comment and I'll let you know if you're right. Good luck!  ~  JH

1)  The Refreshments  ~  "Banditos"

2)  Run-D.M.C.  ~  "Beats To The Rhyme"  (Interesting factoid: This song contains the lyric: "As we wax the tracks all the DJ's play."  I hadn't even heard of this song when I came up with the name of this blog. Ironic, huh?)

3)  Roxette  ~  "The Big L"

4)  Red Hot Chili Peppers  ~  "Breaking The Girl"

5)  Rascal Flatts  ~  "Bless The Broken Road"

6)  RATT  ~  "Back For More"

7)  The Rolling Stones  ~  "Beast Of Burden"

8)  Redbone  ~  "Beautiful Illusion"

9)  The Righteous Brothers  ~  "Bring It On Home To Me"

10)  The Reverend Horton Heat  ~  "Big Sky" / "Baddest Of The Bad"

11)  Relient K  ~  "Be My Escape"

12)  Reel Big Fish  ~  "Brown Eyed Girl"  (Well, this is a fun, funky version of a classic song! Weird video, though.)

13)  The Ramones  ~  "Blitzkrieg Bop"

14)  Rammstein  ~  "Benzin"

15)  R.E.M.  ~  "Bang And Blame"
