Songs About Stockings

If you haven't hung your stockings by now, it's about time you did. After all, Santa is coming soon! Or perhaps, if you no longer believe in the jolly old elf, it's time to hang your stockings because you recently washed them and your dryer's on the fritz.

17 Songs With "17" In The Title

And now for something completely different! Well, sort of different. It's still a bunch of songs linked together by a singular commonality – in this case, the fact that the number "17" (or its written form, "Seventeen") is contained within the title of each of these 17 songs. What makes this post somewhat different is that, in contrast with recent posts on this blog, it is neither a collection of popular songs from a certain year nor is it an "Opposites" music post. Otherwise, it's the same. Enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  Familia  ~  "Seventeen"

2)  Yourcodenameis:milo  ~  "17"

3)  Janis Ian  ~  "At Seventeen"

4)  Grenade Jumper  ~  "Seventeen"
