Book Songs List – Songs With Book in the Title

When people think of books and songs, they immediately think of songbooks.  However, we did things a bit differently.  We created a list of the top 10 books song.  Yes, all the songs listed have the word book in the song title.  If you are looking for a songbook, it is a book that will contact a collection of songs with their lyrics and music notes.  Songbooks may also be a collection of music hymns such as the ones used in churches.  

Our book songs cover, no pun intended, many different music styles including jazz, rock, hip-hop, new age, and country.  A book is a set of written pages.  The pages can be made of many things including paper, wood, and ivory.  We also tried to include many different music genres in our collection of book songs including the eras from 1958 through 2011.  Enjoy our list.  Maybe write a book about it?
