As promised, here's the second half of this two-part series, featuring songs with the phrase "In The" in their titles. For those of you more inclined to like "oldies" music, you may be happy to know that at least half of these – if not more – would qualify as such. You're welcome! ~ JH
While this is admittedly a catchy (if confusing) title for a post, that's not its sole purpose. Over time, I had noticed a preponderance of songs with the prepositional phrase "in the _______" in their titles, and I thought there might just be enough good ones to fill a post. As it turns out, there were enough to fill two posts – this is the first half of a two-parter. Hope you'll enjoy listening to these as much as I did when gathering them. ~ JH

There's nothing untoward here, at least not overtly, so please get your mind out of the gutter. This is just a small grouping of songs with the word "Lick" (or some form of it) in their titles.
