Subject: RE: Men's & boys' names in song -- how many?
Lots o' "Paddy"s, of course. But more than a few of those are, I fear, used as ethnic slurs.

Again, Zhenya, "biographical" songs or tributes to specific real life people are kind of in a different category -- at least to my way of thinking -- from songs like "Leave Her, Johnny, Leave Her" and other strictly first-name songs with rather universal themes.
