So, by my reckoning we have 21 days until we will get the thumbs up to go and get our hair cut, be allowed to travel to the folks and maybe even get a coffee and so to pass the time a 21 day music challenge.

Day One - Songs with People in the title

So you could have Cher - Just like Jessie James
Madness - Michael Caine

You get the idea ....
