Songs For Halloween

Happy Halloween! I know this is a controversial holiday for some, and not everyone chooses to celebrate it. But I'm not one of those people, so here goes a collection of Halloween-themed songs. In most cases, the song isn't intended to be a Halloween-oriented song, it just happens to have a word in its title that could be associated with this most ghoulish of days. Enjoy! (Or don't. It's all the same to me.)  ~  JH

Songs By Artists With Repetitious Names

I'm not gonna lie to you – this is another post that originated from me wanting to add a certain song to a music post and not being able to think of a better way to include it other than this cockamamie concept. As it turns out, there are way more artists with repetitious names than I thought (e.g., Duran Duran, Goo Goo Dolls, and Yo-Yo Ma, to name a few). So maybe it was a dumb idea at first, but it turned out pretty well in the end. Enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  Phillip Phillips  ~  "Gone, Gone, Gone"  (This is repetition to the extreme – both the artist AND the song title have repeated words. But what a great song!)

3)  The Ting Tings  ~  "That's Not My Name"

4)  Yeah Yeah Yeahs  ~  "Maps"
