Songs that have the word middle somewhere in their titles

Five and a half months ago, without thinking about next spring, I put my lawn mower in the shed. Obviously I must have put a lot of extra stuff on it afterwards, because I had to spend almost an entire afternoon removing stuff just to get the mower out.

As I worked, I made up my mind never to store the lawnmower in the middle of the shed again. In the process of mowing the lawn, my mind began to consider songs that contain the word Medium in their titles.

Here is a list of fifteen of those songs.
