Comment:

Browsing through AOTM, I know that there are tons more "famous people" songs out there. However, I wanted to just include songs in my personal CD collection. Song must include both first and last names in the title. No duplicate artists.

Cool idea. Next time, try and include, "Political Song For Michael Jackson To Sing," by The Minutemen.

Cool! I struggled with Elton because there's also Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johhny).
