Mama Kat’s prompt for today is:
Write a blog post inspired by the word: wait.
So I figured we could once again combine her Writer’s Workshop and The Thursday Ten. The result?
Ten songs with “wait” in the title!

Wait ‘Til The Sun Shines, Nellie – Buddy Holly On New Year’s Eve, after the market closes, they sing this on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Kind of a neat tradition.
Waiting Game – Swing Out Sister From Kaleioscope World
Waiting in Vain – Lee Ritenour featuring Phil Perry From Wes Bound
Let’s Wait Awhile – Janet Jackson From Rhythm Nation 1814
(I’d) Wait A Million Years – The Grass Roots from 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: Best Of The Grass Roots
Time Waits For No One – The Rolling Stones From It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll
Wait – The Beatles From Rubber Soul
Waiting For The Sun – The Doors From the album of the same name
She’s Waiting – Eric Clapton From Behind The Sun
Tired Of Waiting For You – The Kinks From Who Let The World In

And there’s your Thursday Ten (and this week’s Writer’s Workshop) for September 24, 2015.

You can probably guess my two favorites from this list. The Beatles and The Grass Roots. 🙂 The first song that popped into my mind when I saw “Wait” was “Mr. Postman”.

I did, too, and I would have included it, except it didn’t have “wait” in the title.

I love what you did with this prompt. Who would have thought you could make an entire list of waiting songs. Perfect for the afternoons I sit in my car waiting for my kids to file out of school. 😉

Keep an eye out for me using the same theme in the future.

Wow, that’s a great list. I think I only know a couple of those songs. Janet Jackson’s is a classic. =)

That whole Janet Jackson album is a classic. It’s the only one of hers I own.

I completely forgot about Janet Jackson’s “Let’s Wait a While”. I used to love that song when I was a kid!

That’s the nice thing about prompts: you can mix and match them.Maybe I’ll do that with a couple of Mama Kat’s, maybe take a blogging and a vlogging one and put them together.

“Wait Until Tomorrow” by Jimi Hendrix popped into my head. Maybe I shouldn’t have commented today though.
