    Let's think of songs about people (fictional or real) with odd, strange, or unique names

    I'll start with...

    James Taylor- Sunny Skies:



    Johnny Cash- A Boy Named Sue (I think this is the definitive one!).

    A Boy Named Sue: Johnny Cash

    "Wolverton Mountain" by Claude King, about a man named Clifton Clowers (who was a real person, though he wasn't as mean and ornery as the song would have you believe)

    "The Year That Clayton Delaney Died" by Tom T. Hall

    "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac (almost everyone in the U.S. with that first name was born after this song came out)
