Songs For The Senses, Vol. 3: Smell


This was the most difficult of the senses so far, as far as finding a good number of decent songs to include. As it was, I had to include not only songs with "Smell" in the title, but also ones containing the word "Scent" (which I think is perfectly acceptable). Even at that, a good number of the songs included here are by artists who we shall call "lesser-known" (which is code for, you've never heard of them and would never have a reason of hearing of them were it not for this post). But they're still all good, nonetheless. Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Ringo Starr  ~  "Stop And Smell The Roses"




2)  R.E.M.  ~  "Mine Smell Like Honey"




3)  Ike & Tina Turner  ~  "I Smell Trouble"




4)  Nirvana  ~  "Smells Like Teen Spirit"




5)  "Weird Al" Yankovic  ~  "Smells Like Nirvana"




6)  bRUNA  ~  "Smell Memory"




7)  Chris Rice  ~  "Smell The Color 9"  (No real music video here, but far too good a song not to include in this post.)




8)  The Upset Victory  ~  "On The Scent Of Your Intent"




9)  Lynyrd Skynyrd  ~  "That Smell"




10)  Andy Elwell  ~  "Scent Of Gas"




11)  You Me & Iowa  ~  "Make Your Home (Smell Delicious)"




12)  Huh Gak  ~  "Memory Of Your Scent"




13)  Josh Taerk  ~  "Smell The Roses"




14)  Moscaburro  ~  "Scent"




15)  Hidden Cameras  ~  "Smells Like Happiness"




16)  Phish  ~  "Scent Of A Mule"




17)  Flies On You  ~  "Can You Smell That Burning Noise?"




18)  Flip Grater  ~  "The Smell Of Strangers"




19)  Free Swim  ~  "The Smell Of Pregnancy"




20)  Marcy Playground  ~  "Sex And Candy"  (Okay, so it doesn't have the words "smell" or "scent" in the actual title [though "smell" figures prominently in the chorus], but this mid-'90s gem was one of the first songs I thought of for this entry, so yeah…)
