Yes That IS a Real Song Title Top Ten: Come Back to Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard (#3)

Tweet

The top three in this countdown of songs I love with oddball titles are obviously real songs, because who would come up with a joke of a title like these?! Two of the three are from old favorites, including today's song. And, to your amusement, here it is. #3: Come Back to Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard - John Prine So what could have inspired THAT title?? Prine explained in an interview (that's on the Prine fan website), "I had different friends of mine who went through the 60s, from being totally straight or greasers, then turned into hippies, and then into a religious thing. So, I created this character who had done all those different things." So you have a woman who's "selling Bibles at the airport" and "buying quaaludes on the phone." The name "Barbara Lewis" came from the singer of "Baby I'm Yours." All from the fertile mind of the great John Prine.
