“Mad” Songs, Vol. 1

Here's a bunch of great songs with the word "Mad" in their titles. I'm not posting them because I'm particularly "mad" about anything; I just happened to randomly run across several of these while listening to music last week and thought I'd bring them all together (and some of their friends) in a couple of posts. If you like these, there's more where they came from tomorrow. Enjoy!  ~  JH

"Broken" Songs

Seeing as I recently broke my ankle and am currently hobbling around everywhere I go, it only makes sense that I should incorporate that fact into my music blog at some point. Since I've done a "Heartbreak Songs" post in the past, and have included my fair share of other songs with "Broken" in their titles in various posts, I challenged myself to find "Broken" songs that didn't have much to do with hearts and ones that I'd never posted previously. And by jove, I do believe I was successful. Enjoy!  ~  "Hopalong"
