Songs With The Letters Of The Alphabet In Their Titles

If, after reading the title of this post, you are arching your eyebrows in my direction at the inanity of it all, please let me explain. Yes, of course, all songs with words in their titles use the letters of the alphabet to form those words. However, some songs use a single letter (not a full word) somewhere in their title – and those are the ones I'm showcasing here. For example, Ed Sheeran's "The A Team," Pachelbel's "Canon In D," and MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This," just to name a few. In this post, you will find one song representing each letter of the alphabet. Ready...set...enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs About "Me"


If you're a regular or even casual reader of this blog, you'll know I'm more than a little obsessed with "Opposites" music posts. Well, yesterday's "Songs About 'You'" post was never intended to be the first half of one of those. But after I had so much fun putting together that group of songs, I just couldn't leave well enough alone, and I put together this group – a bunch of great songs with "Me" in the title. Color me lazy, but I decided not to write a song-by-song commentary with this batch. I think you'll still enjoy them, though.  ~  JH
