17 Songs With "17" In The Title


And now for something completely different! Well, sort of different. It's still a bunch of songs linked together by a singular commonality – in this case, the fact that the number "17" (or its written form, "Seventeen") is contained within the title of each of these 17 songs. What makes this post somewhat different is that, in contrast with recent posts on this blog, it is neither a collection of popular songs from a certain year nor is it an "Opposites" music post. Otherwise, it's the same. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  Familia  ~  "Seventeen"




2)  Yourcodenameis:milo  ~  "17"




3)  Janis Ian  ~  "At Seventeen"




4)  Grenade Jumper  ~  "Seventeen"

5)  Sky Ferreira  ~  "17"




6)  Daylight  ~  "My Seventeen"




7)  Hannah Jane Lewis  ~  "Seventeen Again"




8)  Stone Cold Fox  ~  "Seventeen"




9)  Lindsay Bruce  ~  "Stupid and Seventeen"




10)  Charmian Carr & Daniel Truhitte  ~  "Sixteen Going On Seventeen"




11)  Stevie Nicks  ~  "Edge Of Seventeen"




12)  Eurythmics  ~  "17 Again"




13)  Katie Garfield  ~  "Sweet Seventeen"




14)  Stray Cats  ~  "(She's) Sexy & 17"




15)  Youth Lagoon  ~  "17"  (Weird voice; good song)




16)  Veronica Maggio  ~  "17 år"  (No, you're still not going crazy – it's in Swedish)




17)  JET  ~  "Seventeen"




BONUS TRACK:  The Beatles  ~  "I Saw Her Standing There"  (Wait, what? Here's what: The song's original title was "Seventeen")


"Soft" & "Loud" Songs


The title of this post in no way indicates the loudness or softness of the songs. Rather, it indicates that each song in the collection has either the word "Soft" or "Loud" (or some derivative) in its title. In other words, it's another "Opposites" music post. Simple as that. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  The Fugees  ~  "Killing Me Softly"




2)  Hawk Nelson  ~  "Live Life Loud"




3)  Leah Dizon  ~  "Softly"  (If you can't understand the lyrics, don't worry – you're not going crazy – the whole thing's sung in Japanese!)




4)  Alpha Rev  ~  "Sing Loud"




5)  Andy Williams  ~  "Softly, As I Leave You"




6)  Underoath  ~  "Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear"
