Songs About Homes and Houses

Every try thinking about songs that have the word houses or homes in songs?

I often give buyers a gift upon closing escrow. When buyers purchased a property on a street called Rockaway, it made me think of The Ramones, a band I knew these buyers appreciated. So I made them a CD with Rockaway Beach and other Ramones' tunes as a closing gift.

It made me wonder about other types of music and which songs might make people think about buying a home. I didn't come up with very many, to be honest. But I did think of a slew of tunes that are about homes or houses. One didn't make my list: House of the Rising Sun. But when you consider what that song is actually about, it's not really very appropriate.

I like to put a little fun into the serious business of real estate, which is why I thought of songs about houses and homes.
