"Shake," "Rattle," & "Roll" Songs

Here's a small collection of songs with the words "Shake," "Rattle," and "Roll" in their titles. What, you were expecting it to be something more complicated than that? Nope. Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  MercyMe  ~  "Shake"




2)  Bingo Players ft. Far East Movement  ~  "Get Up (Rattle)"  (This song's kinda stupid, but any music video involving vindictive ducks is OK by me!)




3)  Yeah Yeah Yeahs  ~  "Heads Will Roll"




4)  Victoria Justice  ~  "Shake"




5)  Boxer The Horse  ~  "Rattle Your Cage"  (This song just barely missed the cut on my "What-The-What Bands" post last month, so I made sure to include it here this time.)




6)  Yelawolf ft. Kid Rock  ~  "Let's Roll"




7)  Little Boots  ~  "Shake"




8)  Never Land Pirate Band  ~  "Rattle Yer Bones"  (The fact that this song is even included here proves that I have spent far too much time watching Disney Junior!)




9)  Alexander Rybak  ~  "Roll With The Wind"




10)  Florence + The Machine  ~  "Shake It Out"




11)  Mallory Knox  ~  "Death Rattle"




12)  Mumford And Sons  ~  "Roll Away Your Stone"




13)  Mariah Carey  ~  "Shake It Off"




14)  Black Box Revelation  ~  "Rattle My Heart"  (This band's costume designers should be tarred, feathered, and sent out of town on a rail. Just sayin'…)




15)  Montgomery Gentry  ~  "Roll With Me"




16)  Big Joe Turner  ~  "Shake, Rattle, & Roll"  (The song that inspired the post, obviously. But not necessarily the version of it you expected. I actually prefer this one to Bill Haley's.)

24)  Rev. James Cleveland  ~  "Where Is Your Faith?"  (Think I made a mistake by adding Cleveland again? Remember, he was the only President who served two nonconsecutive terms, so he technically counts twice.)

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"




2)  Bryan Adams  ~  "Please Forgive Me"




3)  Jefferson Airplane  ~  "White Rabbit"

10)  Bonnie Tyler  ~  "Total Eclipse Of The Heart"




11)  The Chardon Polka Band  ~  "Two Sisters Polka"  (I know this one is ridiculously random, but you have no idea how hard it is to find a band or artist with the word "Polk" in their name. This one qualifies…just barely…so here it is.)




12)  Taylor Swift  ~  "22"
