Songs About Hatchets & Lollipops

On a couple of isolated occasions in the past, I have posted songs featuring two different – and completely unrelated – words in their titles. The first was Ninjas & Yo-Yo's, the second was Lobsters & Comic Books.

I hope you will...enjoy!  ~  JH

“If,” “And,” & “But” Songs, Vol. 1

Here begins a three-part series (yes, another one!) featuring songs with the words "If," "And," and "But" in their titles. Because...why not? So that the songs I had to choose from wouldn't be limitless, I only allowed myself to pick songs with one of these words at the beginning of the title. Still...there were a lot to choose from. Here's my best effort at narrowing down only the best. Enjoy!  ~  JH
