"I know this girl whose name is LOLA,
She lives in a country called ANGOLA!" - Stetsasonic, Free South Africa Not generally considered a "classic", but I always liked it. And the rhyming couplets make me laugh! For example: "She says, 'Hey buddy, my country's in war here (pronounce: hee-ah), Fightin' rebels backed by Pretoria...!"
