Carl Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 While entering Songfacts for The Lumberjack Song, it hit me that we could have a category of "Songs with occupations in the title." I'm thinking songs like Floyd The Barber and Ice Cream Man. Please post if you have ideas for songs we can add to this category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
