- Bad Hair (The Legendary Pink Dots)
- Bernice Bobs Her Hair (The Divine Comedy)
- Devil's Haircut (Beck)
- Hair of the Dog (Bauhaus)

- Hairstyles and Attitudes (Timbuk 3)

- Hairy Trees (Goldfrapp)
- Hanging By His Hair (The Residents)
Which leaves us with three songs that are ACTUALLY about hair. "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is about a woman who cuts her hair in order to feel empowered, but instead feels insecure. "Hairstyles and Attitudes" is a typically irreverent Timbuk 3 song that attempts to link...well, hairstyles and attitudes. "Hanging By His Hair" is some sort of biblical reference to somebody who really did -- so we're told -- hang by his hair.

"Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is also the title of a 1920 F. Scott Fitzgerald short story. So you get two literary allusions: the song title and the group's name.
Aha, you never know what's going on with these too-clever-by-half singer-songwriters...
