Musical knowledge combined with counting tug-of-war.

Name a song with a given name (Jack, Jane, sue) in either its title, or in the chorus line of the song.

Here's the twist: if you name a song with a girl's name you add one point to the count. If you name a song with a boy's name you add minus five to the count. This is because girl's names are far more common than boy's names are in songs. So it takes more skill to think of a "boy song" than a "girl song". So you get a bigger payoff.

Will it hover at zero? Or will one gender win?

I will start.

"Runaround Sue", by Dion.
