Let’s try a new twist — songs with famous people in the title. As always, I’m going alphabetically (by last name, where there is one), but feel free to stretch a bit if you’ve got a good song you want to squeeze in here.
Think of it like that game where you’re hosting a dinner party with anyone from human history. This list would make for an interesting evening.
I’m gonna tell it like a comeback story …
