Earlier this morning we were discussing a recent study done by the statistical organization, FiveThirtyEight. The study was about how you can guess someone's age based on their name. While looking over the list of "old fashioned" names, we realized that some newer bands have tossed some of those older names into their songs.
We want to put together a set of songs from newer artists that feature an "old fashioned" name in their lyrics. What should we play?
Songs Played:
Dolly Parton - "Jolene"
Bon Iver - "For Emma"
Alt-J - "Matilda"
The National - "Abel"
Camera Obscura - "Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken"
Ben Folds Five - "Uncle Walter"
