#04 The Name Game


There isn't any name that you can't rhyme. As proof, this mix only features songs that have a name followed closely by a rhyme, or a rhyme followed closely by a name. It's quite simple.

And for a great prelude or coda, I recommend Jelly Roll Morton's version of "My Gal Sal", which you can listen to here.
