"Grey" Songs

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

Songs About "Lolita"

Some literature is so iconic that notable phrases, character names, or even book titles can become a part of our culture. Over the next who-knows-how-many days, weeks, etc., I'm going to explore some of these iconic novels, stories, and/or phrases and make song posts out of them. Why? Because it seemed like a good idea at the time. (Which would be right now, I suppose.) First up, "Lolita." For what it's worth, I've never read Nabokov's novel, and what little I know of it is merely by its reputation, which is admittedly a mixed bag depending on whom you ask. Enjoy?  ~  JH
