Songs With The Letters Of The Alphabet In Their Titles

If, after reading the title of this post, you are arching your eyebrows in my direction at the inanity of it all, please let me explain. Yes, of course, all songs with words in their titles use the letters of the alphabet to form those words. However, some songs use a single letter (not a full word) somewhere in their title – and those are the ones I'm showcasing here. For example, Ed Sheeran's "The A Team," Pachelbel's "Canon In D," and MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This," just to name a few. In this post, you will find one song representing each letter of the alphabet. Ready...set...enjoy!  ~  JH

Yours, Mine, & Ours Songs, Vol. 3: "Ours"

In this third and final installment of the miniseries, we have a decidedly smaller collection of songs with "Ours" in their titles. For one thing, there were fewer songs to choose from that fit the criteria. For another, many of the ones I did find I didn't like or were otherwise inappropriate. So I chose quality over quantity. There are still a few rather-unknown artists here, but their songs are included because they're good not because they're famous. Enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  Taylor Swift  ~  "Ours"

2)  Elbow  ~  "Friend Of Ours"

Songs About Fruit

A few weeks ago, I was brainstorming some ideas for new music posts, and my wife asked if I'd ever done one about songs with fruit in their titles. I replied that of course I had, and that it had gone over quite well. And then I began to second-guess myself. So I looked over my previous music posts and – to my surprise – I was wrong! I had never done a fruit songs post. So here it is. Twenty-five songs, twenty-five different fruits. Every one of them juicy. Enjoy!  ~  JH
