You probably have (or haven't) heard of this song named 'Ringo' by Lorne Greene.
Wikipedia suggests: By October 1964 Ringo Starr's popularity by virtue of his being one of The Beatles prompted "Ringo" to be released as a single, even though it was never about him[citation needed]. The album's introductions were left off of the single release. "Ringo" debuted in Billboard in October 1964. At the same time a special promotional recording by Greene (possibly Canadian only) was sent to radio stations to promote the album, where he speaks about seven of the album's tracks. "Ringo" was the lead track. On it, he talks about the probable confusion between his song character and The Beatles and the "wonderful drummer of theirs", assuring the listener that it is not about him. About this time the album had been upgraded to include a notation on the front jacket, FEATURING THE BIG HIT "RINGO".
At least it's good enough for Ringo, right?
