There have been many songs about various months, but did you know that there is one month that never had a song about it? Which month has the most? Which month has the least (besides zero)?
You can guess; I’ll give you the answers after the jump.
(SIDENOTE: What’s weird is that I’ve heard of a lot of these artists, but never most of these songs. What’s weirder still is the artists I hadn’t even heard of didn’t have videos on YouTube. So if they didn’t have a video, they didn’t make my list.
Oh yeah.
That’s right.
I even looked up the videos for you to check out. One-hundred-and-fucking-one videos. You better check at least some of them out.)
