Story Behind The Song
Wanted to write a song about famous women and wanted to see if I could rhyme all the names ... also wanted to see how whacky the pairings of names could be.
Song Description
A random collection of famous women ... cool juxtapositions, every sphere of life and work is covered from Jane Doe to Tina Turner, to Roxanne, to the face that launched a thousand ships!
