Now with alphabetized goodness!
I know there are ten thousand songs with the name Johnny in the title, and I'm not going to attempt to list them all. Well, maybe I will later.
Also, this list does not have any titles such as "Mr." or "Dr." unless they have a male name to go with that appellation. :) So "Mr. Big Stuff" will not work because "Big Stuff" is not a recognized male name. However, "St. Matthew" will.
Cloned From:
