Songs About Aphrodite

Here's a bunch of Songs About Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, passsion, procreation, and probably a few other things that start with "p." I don't really put any stock in mythological peeps, but there have been quite a few good songs written about her. And here they are! Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Tal Bachman  ~  "She's So High"  ("Huh?" You may be thinking, I thought this was Songs About Aphrodite and the first song doesn't even have that word in the title! True, but it does figure prominently in the oft-repeated chorus. So it's not that far-fetched that I should start the post with a previously popular song, right?)
