Discover the story of the song > The Name Game – Shirley Ellis

The song is called "The Name Game" and it's a game where the protagonist tries to come up with a rhyme for anyone's name. She takes the first letter of the name and sometimes adds a "B", "F", or "M" to make it rhyme. If the first two letters are the same, she drops them and says the name. She demonstrates this with different names like Shirley, Lincoln, Arnold, Tony, Billy, Marsha, and Nick.
