So I had this not-terribly-earthshaking idea to compile and post a collection of songs with the word "Something" in the title. Trouble is, I found too many good ones I wanted to include. Too many for one post, at least. So here's a bunch of songs about "Something," and it's part 1 of 2. Enjoy? ~ JH
1) Jakob Dylan ~ "Something Good This Way Comes"
2) Crowded House ~ "Something So Strong"
3) Duran Duran ~ "Is There Something I Should Know?"
4) New Edition ~ "Something About You"
5) Jamie Cullum ~ "Edge Of Something"
6) Claire de la Fuente ~ "Something In Your Eyes"
7) Sanctus Real ~ "Whatever You're Doing (Something Heavenly)"
8) Dave Gahan ~ "Saw Something"
9) Paloma Faith ~ "Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?"
10) Nirvana ~ "Something In The Way"
11) Newton Faulkner ~ "I Need Something"
12) Christina Aguilera ~ "Something's Got A Hold On Me"
Because I seem to be on an "opposites" kick when it comes to music posts, here's another one. Enjoy? ~ JH
1) Betty White ft. Luciana ~ "I'm Still Hot" (She still is, too...even at 91 years old!)
2) Meg Myers ~ "Cold"
3) 1987 Calgary Flames ~ "Can't Touch A Flame When It's Red Hot" (For non-sports fans, the Flames are a professional hockey team – and apparently, 25 years ago, they thought they could sing...)
4) Current Swell ~ "Too Cold"
5) Katy Perry ft. Elmo ~ "Hot N Cold" (Despite its never actually having aired on Sesame Street, this version is much preferable to Perry's original song.)
6) Janelle Monae ~ "Cold War"
7) Keith Urban ~ "Long Hot Summer"
8) Hammock ~ "Cold Front" (Don't hold your breath for the lyrics – there aren't any – but what an instrumental!)
9) The Wiggles ft. Jamie Redfern ~ "Hot Poppin' Popcorn" (I can't even believe I'm posting a song by The Wiggles!)
10) Typical Cats ~ "Bitter Cold"
11) Kool & The Gang ~ "Too Hot" (I can hear you singing along...just so you know...)
12) Joshua Hyslop ~ "Cold Wind"
13) Buster Poindexter ~ "Hot Hot Hot" (What a dreadfully silly song...and dreadfully catchy, too!)
14) Hank Williams, Sr. ~ "Cold Cold Heart" (For all of us old-school country music fans...)
15) Led Zeppelin ~ "Hot Dog" (Not your typical Led Zeppelin song, but not bad...)
16) Annie Lennox ~ "Cold"
17) LaToya Jackson ~ "Hot Potato"
18) Paloma Faith ~ "Stone Cold Sober"
19) The Sylvers ~ "Hot Line"
20) Adele ~ "Cold Shoulder" (Seeing as this is Adele's 4th appearance – so far – on my blog, you might have already guessed that I'm a big fan...)
Okay, so since I'm obviously obsessed with doing music posts lately, why don't I just start a whole series of them? (This is where you say, "Hey, what a great idea!" Or don't. Whatever.) This is part one of what will be a five-part miniseries. The unifying theme is that each song contains a direction within the title, whether that be up, down, left, right, or all directions. First up – appropriately – songs with "Up" in the title. I've been compiling the songs for these posts for a while now, and I hope you'll enjoy seeing/hearing them. ~ JH
1) Ariana Grande ~ "Put Your Hearts Up"
2) Chris Brown ~ "Don't Wake Me Up"
3) Josh Groban ~ "You Raise Me Up"
4) Yellowcard ~ "Hang You Up"
5) Green Day ~ "Wake Me Up When September Ends"
6) Andy Grammer ~ "Keep Your Head Up"
7) Paula Abdul ~ "Straight Up"
8) J-Min ~ "Stand Up" (NOTE: If you can't make out most of the lyrics here, it's for good reason – it's in Korean. Still, it's a very good song – whatever they're singing about...)
9) Paloma Faith ~ "Picking Up The Pieces"
10) The Afters ~ "Lift Me Up"
11) John Legend & The Roots ft. Common & Melanie Fiona ~ "Wake Up Everybody"
12) Laura Bell Bundy ~ "Giddy On Up"
13) Foster The People ~ "Pumped Up Kicks" (A quick bit of trivia for you: Christian singer Rebecca St. James is married to the bass guitarist in this band)
14) Technotronic ~ "Pump Up The Jam"
15) Kelly Clarkson ~ "I Do Not Hook Up"
16) Ben Howard ~ "Keep Your Head Up"
17) Amelia Lily ~ "Shut Up (And Give Me Whatever You've Got)"
