A song about well-known people who have names
who sound like (mostly) verbs, with
illustrations.
Lyrics:
Ever since I bought my trusty camera
I've always carried it around with me
And taken every chance I've been presented
To photograph lots of celebrities
I've noticed that a pattern has been forming
One's name can dictate one's activity
And now if you'll give your attention
Some examples I will mention
To prove my theory... of nominative
determinacy
Douglas Hurd and Roger Waters, Jeremy Irons
and Alan Bates
Barry Took and Gracie Fields, Lynn Faulds
Wood and Tom Waits
Brook Shields and Axl Rose, Karl Marx and
Ryan Stiles,
Tony Hawks, Ralph Fiennes and then Wayne
Sleep
And Samuel Pepys
Camilla Parker Bowles, George Wendt, Hugo
Weaving and Jane Leeves
Lisa Kudrow, Michael Fish, and Brian May and

And Wesley Snipes
Ian and Geoffrey Rush and James and Gordon
Brown
John and Emma Peel and Pam Ayres
Harrison and Anna Ford, Katie and Vincent
Price,
Prunella Scales, Cherie and Tony Blair
I think you'll see the truth of my assertion
You only need to examine the facts
So here, I have for your enthrallment
This, my very last instalment
To show that what you're called can truly
influence your acts
