Songs By Artists With Presidential Names, Vol. 1

I get a lot of dumb ideas, and sometimes I blog about them. The other day, I wondered if I could find a singer or band whose name included the surname of each of our 44 Presidents. And, as it turns out, I could! Here's the first 22 of them. If enough people are interested to view this post, I'll post the other half this afternoon. If not, I'll post it tomorrow. (You see, you can't really escape it.) Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Washington  ~  "How To Tame Lions"

Songs With "Lead" In The Title

So here's the first part of a two-part "Opposites" music post I've put together – yes, I'm still doing those, and no, I'll probably never stop. First up, a group of songs with "Lead" in the title. Next time, I'll feature songs with "Follow" in the title. Due to the fact that the word "Lead" is involved here, it shouldn't be that big a surprise that a disproportionately large number of Christian songs will be included within. So know that going into it, if that's something that matters to you. But please understand that I don't like to limit myself to a certain style or genre in these posts – so not ALL of the songs included here are Christian. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Sanctus Real  ~  "Lead Me"

2)  Taylor Dayne  ~  "Love Will Lead You Back"

3)  Hoobastank  ~  "Born To Lead"

4)  Jamie Grace  ~  "You Lead"

5)  Proximity  ~  "Lead By Example"

6)  Spice Girls  ~  "Let Love Lead The Way"

7)  Chris and Conrad  ~  "Lead Me To The Cross"

8)  Roses Unread  ~  "Blind Lead The Blind"

9)  Jamie N Commons  ~  Lead Me Home"

10)  Amy Grant  ~  "Lead Me On"

11)  No Other Name  ~  "Lead You To The Cross"

12)  Carlos Jean ft. Electric Nana  ~  "Lead The Way"

13)  Silent Season  ~  "If You Lead Me On"

14)  Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn  ~  "Lead Me On"

15)  Jeff Schneeweis  ~  "Follow As You Lead"

"Buy" & "Sell" Songs

Since I was nice enough to limit the songs here to a number that would fit all into one post, the least you can do now is listen to them. And maybe enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  The Beatles  ~  "Can't Buy Me Love"

2)  Sponge  ~  "Wax Ecstatic (To Sell Angelina)"

3)  Kenny Rogers  ~  "Buy Me A Rose"

4)  Megadeth  ~  "Peace Sells"  (Who else do you know who'd follow up a Kenny Rogers song with one by Megadeth? No one? I didn't think so.)

5)  A Camp  ~  "I Can Buy You"

6)  Reel Big Fish  ~  "Sell Out"

7)  McAlister Kemp  ~  "It Don't Buy You Love"

8)  Josh Altman  ~  "I Sell The Dream"  (Of course, this song is ridiculous – but it's supposed to be! It's a joke song whose sole purpose is to donate the proceeds to charity. So don't hate too much!)

10)  The Cult  ~  "She Sells Sanctuary"

11)  Kayo  ~  "Couldn't Buy Her"
