Songs That Have The Word Middle Somewhere In Their Titles

Five and a half months ago, without giving any consideration to the next spring, I placed my lawn mower in the shed. Obviously I must have put many additional things in it afterward, for I had to spend nearly an entire afternoon removing stuff just to get the mower out.

As I labored, I made a determination to never again store the mower in the middle of the shed. In the process of cutting the grass, my mind began to consider songs that contain the word Middle in their titles.

Here is a list of fifteen of those tunes.

Middle Age Crazy by Jerry Lee Lewis

It is not as well-known as “Great Balls of Fire”, but no hits collection by the rockabilly legend would be complete without this classic.

Gerry Rafferty went on to have greater success as a solo act, but this enduring hit have us the first glimpse of his talent.
