Onomatopoeia Songs

Merriam Webster defines onomatopoeia as "the creation of words that imitate natural sounds," or "the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it," or "the use of words whose sound suggests the sense." Common examples include "buzz," "hiss," or "hiccup." All the songs in this collection contain at least one word of onomatopoeia in their titles. I've highlighted the word (or words) in italics in the the title of each song. Enjoy!  ~  JH
