"Naked" Songs

Merriam-Webster provides a wide variety of definitions for the word "naked." The most common meaning is "not covered by clothing." However, "naked" can also mean "lacking embellishment," "unarmed [or] defenseless," "devoid of concealment or disguise," as well as "unaided by any optical device or instrument." These secondary definitions of "naked" abound in the lyrics of these songs. Indeed, despite its title, this post is about as "PG" as it gets. Sorry to disappoint some of you. And I'm glad I didn't let the rest of you down. Enjoy?  ~  JH

Well, this is the last planned "Songs About Shapes" post in the series, unless I change my mind later.
