Story Behind The Song
I just had this idea to do a crazy never-ending rhyming list of famous women and famous female stereotypes.
Song Description
Just the weirdest list -- it rhymes! -- of famous women you will ever find. Kind of like REM's song "It's the end of the world as we know it" except that it is all about famous women from history.
