Here we have a lovely collection of songs about the color "Grey" (or "Gray," depending on whom you ask). Why, you might ask?

"Hook" & "Loop" Songs

I write about clothes a lot in my day job. And one thing that many articles of clothing – and some shoes – have in common is Velcro, also known as hook-and-loop tape. Since these two words "Hook" and "Loop" are often near the top of my mind on the job, I decided to put together a set of songs with those words in the titles while off the job. That's why this post exists. Also, the songs are really good. Enjoy?  ~  JH
