What songs do Doper’s names make pop into your head? I can’t help it, almost everything makes songs (mostly pop) come into my head unbidden. Most recently I saw a thread started by **Soapbox Monkey** , and there it was: \*And be a Soap Box Monkey, got soap in his eyes He’s a Soap Box Monkey \* Sung in my head to “Juke Box Here” by Foreigner ---
