Subject: Named Arguments doesn't work?

Why doesn't this work?
==================== ha.rb ======================
#!/usr/bin/ruby
class Song
       def initialize(name, artist, duration)
           @name     = name
           @artist   = artist
           @duration = duration
     end
end

a = Song.new("name"=>"foo", "artist"=>"bar", "duration"=>3)
puts a.inspect
=================================================
$ ./ha.rb
./ha.rb:11:in `initialize': wrong number of arguments(1 for 3) 
(ArgumentError)
         from ./ha.rb:11:in `new'
         from ./ha.rb:11

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.7.3 (2002-09-30) [i386-linux-gnu]
