Songs By Bands With Four-Letter Names, Vol. 1

And now we begin a series of posts that you helped me come up with last week. (You know who you are, I don't need to tag you all.) Volume 1 consists of 20 songs by bands with four letters in their names. No more, no less. If your favorite band/artist didn't make this list, just wait. Volume 2 is on the way. If you submitted a 4-letter solo artist (not a band), those will be in a separate post altogether – but it's coming too! So, be patient…and enjoy!  ~  JH

"Ugly" Songs

Well, I was able to scrounge up more than enough songs to make my previous blog entry ("Pretty" Songs) into an "Opposites" post after all. A natural counterpart to those, this is a collection of songs with "Ugly" in their titles. Most of the songs aren't ugly, in the purest sense of the word. (Although some might be.) Enjoy?  ~  JH

BLOGGER'S NOTE:  Each of these songs is unique (no repeats within the post), even though many of them have the same, one-word title of "Ugly."

1)  Sugababes   ~ "Ugly"

2)  The White Stripes  ~  "As Ugly As I Seem"

3)  Meg & Dia  ~  "My Ugly Mouth"

4)  Living Colour  ~  "Love Rears Its Ugly Head"

5)  Avery *Sunshine  ~  "Ugly  Part Of Me"

6)  Sevendust  ~  "Ugly"
