“Me,” “Myself,” & “I” Songs, Vol. 1

Here begins a three-part series of songs featuring one or more of the commonplace pronouns "Me," "Myself," and "I" in their titles. Since there was a plethora of songs to choose from that fit this criteria, I tried to pick only the best, most popular, and/or most unique tunes. I hope you will agree...and 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”)
