It's hard to "imagine" although they say I'm a dreamer...but I'm not the only one..

Note that there is a 1981 mare with such a name. She was by Evadido (CHI) (Black H 1968) out of Casbah (Col) (Chestnut M 1973). She even became a producer and foaled a colt named Yokoo in 1987.

Apparently, there are a great deal of horses out there owing their names to songs related to the cited artist. Take this as an example: coincidentially, both were foaled in 1998.
