[Super Steve Earle]

I know it's a thread about songs about girls or boys with ridiculous names, but some of these are just downright daft. How on earth did any of them get past the record company bosses?

I mean:

Jane
Barbara
Tom
Sue
Billy
Tracy
Emily

I mean, where on earth did they find these ridiculous names!!
