Songs About Licking

There's nothing untoward here, at least not overtly, so please get your mind out of the gutter. This is just a small grouping of songs with the word "Lick" (or some form of it) in their titles. Some are fairly nonsensical, while others are good but somewhat cryptic. Kind of like this post itself…fairly nonsensical and somewhat cryptic. Enjoy?  ~  JH
