This weeks riddle:  A poor man is sitting in a pub. He sees that the man next to him is extremely rich.  The poor man leans over to the rich man and says,”I have an amazing talent; I know almost every song that has ever existed.  I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a popular song that includes a lady’s name of your choosing.”

The rich man laughs and says, “OK, my daughter’s name is Joanna Armstrong-Miller.”

The poor man went home rich.  Name that song.
