  Ya might want to learn yerself a little history about that song, son... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_Named_Sue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_Named_Sue "The core story of the song was inspired by humorist Jean Shepherd, a close friend of Shel Silverstein, who was often taunted as a child because of his feminine-sounding name." You might recognize Jean Shepherd as the author of the stories that were turned into the holiday movie A Christmas Story (he also served as narrator in that movie) Extra Credit: Watch the Scut Farkus beatdown scene again.
