Kick back and enjoy listening to thousands of songs from the MMR library played in alphabetical order… a true crash course in EVERYTHING THAT ROCKS! Starting Thursday, August 31, and going through on or about September 14, we will take you through our catalog from A to Z. Here are all the “V“ songs.
“V” Songs
“Vasoline” by STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
This song is about “feeling like an insect under a magnifying glass,” according to lead singer Scott Weiland. It’s about being stuck in the same situation over and over again. Weiland was in a tough situation, lying to his bandmates about his addiction. “Vasoline” came out of that dilemma.
Veronica ELVIS COSTELLO
Vertigo U2
Vicarious TOOL
Victim Of Love EAGLES
Victorious NITA STRAUSS f/DOROTHY
“Video Killed The Radio Star” by BUGGLES
We disagree! Who’s still standing? US! Just kidding, we love you MTV, please come back. Speaking of, this was the first video to air on the aforementioned television station back in 1981.
Violet Hill COLDPLAY
“Viva La Vida” by COLDPLAY
“Viva La Vida” tells the story of a monarch who’s lost his kingdom. In another way, though, the song can also be seen as a narrative on the French Revolution given the historical and biblical references in the lyrics.
Voices Inside My Head POLICE
Voodoo GODSMACK
Voodoo Child/Slight Return JIMI HENDRIX
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble
