Ex: The Ballad of Curtis Loew by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
It's easy to find first names in song titles, but amazingly hard to find first AND last names.

Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
But if she did, he'd have taken her to Paris
And if she did, she'd have smoked a lot of opium
And if she did, she'd have dyed her hair blue
And if she did, she might be alive
Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe
Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
She lived outside the Tropic of Capricorn
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
I don't even know if she knew Henry Miller
But if she did, he'd have taken her to Paris
And if she did, they'd have fucked every day
And if she did, she'd have felt like a woman
Not like a photograph in a magazine
Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe
This is not a knock against Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman is my favorite play
But Marilyn Monroe should have married Henry Miller
And if she did, she might be alive
'Cause if she did, he'd have taken her to Paris
Tied her to the bed and eaten dinner off of her
And okay maybe she'd have died the same, anyway
But if she did she'd have had more fun
Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe
Oh ohh, Henry Miller
Oh ohh, Marilyn Monroe

(48,217 posts)I shall tell of a hunter, whose life was undone
By the cruel hand of evil, at the setting of the sun
His arrow was loose, and it flew through the dark
And his true love was slain as the shaft found its mark
But she'd her apron wrapped about her, and he took her for a swan
And it's so and alas, it was she - Polly Von
