Songs With "Take" In The Title

I'd love to be able to say – "You asked for it, and here it is!" – but who am I kidding? I'm probably more excited about these random collections of songs connected only by a common word in the titles than any of you, dear readers, are. That being said, I'm even fonder of this collection of songs than I was of the "Give" songs I posted last time around. There are songs for pretty much all musical tastes here. Unless you like reggae. There's no reggae. No rap, either, for that matter. Come to think of, there's also no blues music here. Well, let's just say there are songs for almost all musical tastes. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  A-ha  ~  "Take On Me"



2)  Rihanna  ~  "Take A Bow"



3)  The Police  ~  "Every Breath You Take"



4)  Carrie Underwood  ~  "Jesus, Take The Wheel"



5)  ABBA  ~  "Take A Chance On Me"



6)  MIKA  ~  "Relax, Take It Easy"



7)  Mary J. Blige  ~  "Take Me As I Am"



8)  Passion Pit  ~  "Take A Walk"



9)  Twisted Sister  ~  "We're Not Gonna Take It"



10)  JLS  ~  "Take A Chance On Me"  (Not the same as the ABBA song!)



11)  Amy Winehouse  ~  "Take The Box"



12)  Berlin  ~  "Take My Breath Away"



13)  Filter  ~  "Take A Picture"



14)  Phil Collins  ~  "Take Me Home"



15)  Fefe Dobson  ~  "Take Me Away"



16)  Karmin Music  ~  "Take It Away"

Songs With "Give" In The Title

Yes, this is another entry in my seemingly endless pseudo-series of "Songs With (Fill-In-The-Blank) In The Title." And yes, the next post will be "Songs With 'Take' In The Title." So, I'm predictable. What's wrong with that? I can say that, on this post and its follow-up, I took time to ensure the quality -- and not just the quantity -- of songs included. This is a really good collection of otherwise unrelated songs, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!  ~  JH


1)  Jason Mraz  ~  "I Won't Give Up"



2)  P!nk ft. Nate Ruess (of fun.)  ~  "Just Give Me A Reason"



3)  LeAnn Rimes  ~  "Give"



4)  Demi Lovato  ~  "Give Your Heart A Break"



5)  Whitney Houston  ~  "You Give Good Love"



6)  Breaking Benjamin  ~  "Give Me A Sign"



7)  The Classic Crime  ~  "What I'd Give Up"



8)  Backstreet Boys  ~  "All I Have To Give"



9)  Veronica Ballestrini  ~  "Don't Give Up On Me"



10)  Andrew Bird  ~  "Give It Away"



11)  AKS  ~  "Give It Back"




12)  Brandon Heath  ~  "Give Me Your Eyes"

15)  Racoon  ~  "Don't Give Up The Fight"



16)  The Advice  ~  "You Give Me"


Unintentionally Hilarious Tombstones

Never has my taste in humor been more questionable than at this very moment. If you don't laugh at these, feel free to throw your stones. If you do laugh, then you probably see what I was getting at here. The last picture ties it all together. Sort of.  ~  JH



Apparently, Constant's sister Diarrhea and her 
husband Dysen Tery are also buried nearby.



As best as I can read, these brothers died on Christmas Day
in an accident on the train tracks. Boy, talk about your Losers!



This is where Beer goes to die. Rest in peace, hops.
(Look, they even thought to put a barf pot right next to it!)



Whoa, you blinded me with science there. Warn a brother!



 
I'm guessing Mr. and Mrs. Whizzer can't be too far away.



The Butt Brothers – sounds like a really bad vaudeville act.



So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, good...



Suddenly, I'm hungry. I wonder why...



I guess this means there'll be no more sequels, huh?



So...where's the Wight Man?



Hey, that's no way to speak of the dead!



Sure, sure, but...was it EPIC?





It's alive, it's alive, it's alive! Aaauuuggghhh!!!



Whomever was in charge of designing this nifty 
tombstone was a...well, you get the point.



I'm sorry for your...loss of Loss?



Everything old is new again. Bling, Bling!



That about sums it up.



Seriously, it's gotta be lunchtime, right?



Oh, yes. You're dead.



I'm surprised this gravestone isn't flatter.



If I had a name like Ludwina Puke, I think I'd go ahead and die too.



Seriously, Johanna. Wasn't there a nice man 
named Smith you could have married?  *sigh*



That's a pretty accurate description, too.



What is this, some kind of mass grave for a brothel?



You were just having a little fun, you said. It 
wouldn't kill you, you said. Ha! I said. Told ya so!



This tasteless post is probably one of the Worst ones I've ever done.



Let me see...is it...Jimmy Hoffa, maybe?



It's okay to laugh. It's a coping mechanism.

Songs With "Go" In The Title

As promised in yesterday's post, here's its counterpart: a collection of songs linked only by the fact that they all contain the word "Go" in their titles. There are a two or three songs on the list that I grudgingly included, due to the artist's popularity or the inherent, nostalgic charm of the song – you'll probably figure out which ones I'm referring to – but most of these are really good songs by talented artists who deserve their spot here. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs With "Come" In The Title

Every now and then, I will hear or remember a song that I really like and want to post in a blog entry, but I can't think of any logical reason to include it. In such cases, I will typically come up with some ingenious (read: asinine) idea to force the song onto the blog no matter how ridiculous the concept. Case in point, this post: a collection of songs with "Come" in the title. That being said, there are several really good tunes here. The final song – which was sung at my wedding – was the one that inspired the post. All things being equal, tomorrow's post will consist of songs with "Go" in the title. Enjoy?  ~  JH
