"Single" Songs

I know what you're thinking, and you're probably right. Why on earth would you post a collection of songs with "Single" in the title on Valentine's Day, of all days? Don't you care anything about those folks for whom this day is anything but special? Of course I do. It just so happens that this is part 1 of an expected 3-part series of posts, the 2nd and 3rd installments of which will include "Double" and "Triple" songs. So it's coincidence. That's all.
