I should queue up some more PNAS posts, but I think I’m going to save a bunch of them for when we’re at Worldcon. And I do have more serious science-related stuff that I’ve marked to talk about, but it’s Friday, and everybody could use a break. So here’s a silly pop-music thing instead.
As with past editions, the following two-word phrases are taken from pop songs, and (I think) uniquely identify a single song. At least, I can only think of one song in my collection for each of them. The twist this time around is the each of the two-word phrases is a person’s name.
If you think you know the song, leave a comment guessing it, and post your own two-word phrase for other people to guess. Here are the names:
- Father McKenzie
- Beth McKenzie
- John Berryman
- Ezra Pound
- Wilson Pickett
- Desmond Dekker
- Jean Content
- Merle Haggard
- Sloppy Sue
- Mojo Nixon
- Billy Idol
- Billy Shears
- Rocco Sifretti
Note that while some of these people did songs in which they speak of themselves in the third person, the song I have in mind is by a different artist. There’ are two bands that appear twice (Edit: counting error corrected.), otherwise they’re all by different people.
Good luck!
