Earth-Angel Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hi guys, I'm putting something together for a short presentation, and am looking for songs which reference jewels/jewelry. It can be metaphorical like someone being a gem in your eyes, or straight out about the bling! It can be any era and any genre, heck even male or female! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 The absolute perfect song would be Baubles, Bangles and Beads...an old standard performed by many artists. Baubles, bangles, Hear how they jing, jing-a-ling-a, Baubles, bangles, Bright, shiny beads. Sparkles, spangles, My heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a, Wearing baubles, bangles and beads. I'll glitter and gleam so, Make somebody dream so, That someday he may buy me, A ring, ring-aling-a, I've heard that's where it leads, Wearing baubles and bangles and beads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
