This is a great game, but there are too many person names coming out. Who's going to name a song Hermann Mller?

Someone who really likes him? Or even hates him...

I played again but this time skipped all the person names. I got a definite travel theme going on this time. I think it would sound a little bit like Ben Folds Five.
