4)  CKY  ~  "Plastic Plan"




5)  The Kinks  ~  "Plastic Man"  (As you will soon see, there are a number of songs by this name. And they're all different.)

16)  Crowded House  ~  "Italian Plastic"




17)  Black Uhuru  ~  "Plastic Smile"

Songs With "In The" In The Title, Vol. 1


While this is admittedly a catchy (if confusing) title for a post, that's not its sole purpose. Over time, I had noticed a preponderance of songs with the prepositional phrase "in the _______" in their titles, and I thought there might just be enough good ones to fill a post. As it turns out, there were enough to fill two posts – this is the first half of a two-parter. Hope you'll enjoy listening to these as much as I did when gathering them.  ~  JH



1)  Michael Jackson  ~  "Man In The Mirror"

7)  Paramore  ~  "In The Mourning / Landslide"




8)  Adam Lambert  ~  "Evil In The Night"




9)  Gin Wigmore  ~  "Written In The Water"




10)  The Weeknd  ~  "Tears In The Rain"




11)  Miley Cyrus  ~  "Party In The U.S.A."  (Yeah, I went there. Sorry...)
