Sorry. Your post wasn't on my screen when I started. I'll delete.

... I'll have to say you've got the better picks.

Okay, I'll honor Tio by picking up his suggestion. Ten songs with 'language' in the Title.

I'd have asked for songs about sex anyway :)

Short of googling, I'm stuck here. Perhaps the topic could be broadened a little?

Sorry. I thought of a dozen or so before I suggested it, but we may have different interests and music collections. How about we expand it to include "language," specific languages, or reference to either language or a specific language. Does that help?
 
Jeez!

Fine work, latecomer, but you're also supposed to leave us with the next theme.

And, by the way. I noticed you over on the Misquoted thread; you're supposed to change the previous post in some amusing way and then comment on the misquote. You've been commenting on the actual post.

On the Misquoting post, I do see what you mean - I hadn't noticed. Thank you for pointing that out.

Songs with the name of a weather condition in the title, but the word RAIN is not allowed.
