Songs About "Them"

I told you I probably wouldn't be able to resist compiling a Songs About 'Them'" post after previously posting "Songs About 'Us'," and I was right. This time, however, there weren't nearly as many good songs to choose from. The result, I believe, is quality over quantity. But I'll let you be the judge of that. Enjoy!  ~  JH

13)  Sufjan Stevens  ~  "Ring Them Bells"

14)  iwrestledabearonce  ~  "You Know That Ain't Them Dogs' Real Voices"  (Screamo is not the type of music I typically go for – not at all, actually – but both the name of this band and the song title were far too bizarre not to include here. Don't listen if you don't want to.)

15)  JJ Weeks Band  ~  "Let Them See You"
