Same Name, Different Song: Vol. 4

I warned you a couple of weeks ago that there may be more of these posts, which feature completely different songs sharing the same song titles. And here they are! As before, I encourage your input as to which of the two songs (or three, in a couple of cases here) you prefer. If you like these kinds of posts, you're in luck – I'm already working on Vol. 5! If you hate these kinds of posts, well, you'll probably hate the ones to come as well. Enjoy?  ~  JH

"Second" Songs

I was going to do a short miniseries of posts with the words "First," "Second," "Third," and so forth in the titles. But as it turns out, I've already done "First" songs previously (in a "First" & "Last" Songs post), and "Third" songs and beyond are pretty hard to come by. So here's a small selection of "Second" songs. Enjoy?  ~  JH
