I Got a Name, 1973
Written by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel
A slightly funky folk melody, that burst out into a little folk-rock at the very end of the song. The cheeriness of the music belies the lyrics, which are fairly poignant. In the song, the narrator declares he has a name like all the plants and animals, but that he also has a dream. "And I carry it with me like my daddy did / But I'm living the dream that he kept hid." He's going to go and follow his dreams, and if he fails, he'll be proud he tried. Unlike his father.
