Songs About Fruitcake

If you love to hate fruitcake as much as I do, this post is for you. Whether you're a fan of Jimmy Buffett, SpongeBob SquarePants, Mannheim Steamroller, Peter Gabriel, Bill Engvall, or Brain Tentacles, there's something for everyone here. If, by chance, you actually love fruitcake, well...we can still be friends, but I might give you a skeptical glance every now and then. Enjoy?  ~  JH

“My” Songs 2

If you like oldies – and I know some of you do – then you're going to love this post! Awhile back I posted a bunch of songs with the word "My" as the first word in their titles. Most of those were newer songs. Well, this is more of the same theme, but ALL of these songs are older – ranging from the late '50s to the mid '80s. And I've carefully curated them to include only the best and most interesting songs, primarily performed by people you've actually heard of. Imagine that! I hope you will...enjoy!  ~  JH

7)  Nina Simone  ~  “My Baby Just Cares For Me”

8)  Frankie Valli  ~  “My Eyes Adored You”

9)  Eric Clapton  ~  “My Father’s Eyes” (I didn't intentionally lie in the intro, but I *forgot* this song was in here. It's from the mid '90s, but it certainly *feels* older, doesn't it?)
