I swear I did not make that up! (Look on the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" soundtrack if you don't believe me.) If I have to give a specific reason for this being a dumb name, fine, here's three: It's totally random; it doesn't make the least bit of sense; and it sounds like some out-of-date dance move.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Ruby (Don't Take Your Love To Town)" by Kenny Rogers
The Lyrics:
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
Just the way I know I've heard it slam a hundred times before.
If I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground.
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.
Just the way I know I've heard it slam a hundred times before.
If I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground.
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.
Why:
The tune has a cadence reminiscent of many a happy traveling song that might be about one sailing down a highway with a free wind blowing through one's hair. But the lyrics are another thing entirely. They are the lament off a paralyzed Vietman veteran who is observing his wife stepping out on him like many times before, and there is nothing he can do about it but lie in his bed helplessly.
