Songs About Fingers

Sometimes you get a crazy idea, and even though it's crazy you decide to run with it anyway. Usually, those ideas fall flat and result in bland, uninteresting posts. But in this case, it actually turned out quite nicely...because apparently, there have been a great number of quality songs with the word "Finger" or "Fingers" in their titles. Here's but a sampling of them. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs With "Reject" In The Title

Here's part four in my current series of posts. The common theme is that the title keywords for each post rhyme with each other. I've already done songs with "Respect," "Connect," and "Direct" in the titles. So it only makes sense that "Reject" songs should be next. This is the smallest group of songs of them all, mainly because these were the only good ones I could find that qualified. Enjoy!  ~  JH

2)  Martin Solveig  ~  "Rejection"

3)  Soilwork  ~  "Rejection Role"

4)  Drowners  ~  "Ways To Phrase A Rejection"

5)  Painside  ~  "Reject The Silence"

6)  World Rejects  ~  "Reject Roll Call"

7)  Jenita Janet   ~  "Di Reject"

8)  The Present Moment  ~  "Rejection"

9)  Done  ~  "Rejection"

10)  The Orthodox Singers Male Choir  ~  "Do Not Reject Me In The Time Of Old Age"

Songs With "Direct" In The Title
