A few months back I did a show of all songs with women’s names in the titles. What the hell, I thought, why not the same with men? I’ll tell you why not – there are a lot less songs with men’s names. Still, there are enough, and that’s the important thing. Enjoy a couple of gallons of testosterone set to music!
