favorite 'name' song

[magnus]

...your favorite song with a person's name in it/with a person's name as the title?

Mine:
Instrumentally, "Laura". Preferably solo piano or done with solo wind over strings, a la Clifford Brown, Charlie Parker. Beats out "A Portrait of Jenny". Chances are you've never heard either song.

Straight up vocal song: Wind Cries Mary, Jimi Hendrix.

[wossa]

Black Betty - Ram Jam :rolleyes:


for real tho I got many favorites

Peg - Steely Dan

Sweet Melissa - Allman Brothers

Sara Smiles - Hall and Oates

just off the top of my head.

Oh, "Susie Q", Oh, Susie Q,

You can always tell a rock song because they always say it 2 or more times

Well in that case

Oh, Susie Q, Oh, Susie Q,
Oh, Susie Q, Baby I love you, Susie Q.

I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk;
I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk, Susie Q.

Well, say that you'll be true, well, say that you'll be true,
Well, say that you'll be true, and never leave me blue, Susie Q.

Well, say that you'll be mine, well, say that you'll be mine,
Well, say that you'll be mine, baby all the time, Susie Q.

Who Do True Two You Blue Who (*)

Oh Susie Q, Oh Susie Q,
Oh Susie Q, Baby I love you, Susie Q.

I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk,
I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk, Susie Q.

Oh Susie Q, Oh susie Q,
Oh Susie Q, Baby I love you, Susie Q.

Josie (Steely Dan)

Ethyl Ethyl come and freeze me with your charms

Come here Cold Ethyl

"Leona" by Wet Willie

Margaret - Kevin Ayers.

My wife's name, but she prefers Maggie (with a passion).

[Cath Ddu]

OK , I was wrong. Margaret is good, but my favourite 'name' song is 'Caroline' by Robert Wyatt, an English jazz drummer.

Wyatt went to a party, dropped a tab of acid and took a lady to a bedroom. They were shagging away (a la Austin Powers) when there was a tremendous banging on the bedroom door. Under the influence of the LSD, Robert assumed it was the lady's husband and jumped out of the window. He broke his back and is paralysed from the waist down.

'Caroline' is dedicated to his ex-girlfriend, Caroline Coon, a journalist, who rejected him. It's a love song. I'm not particularly sentimental, but this song makes my eyes water!

'flesh for fantasy' - billy idol/1983

Face to face
And back to back
You see and feel
My sex attack
Sing it
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
We cry
Flesh, flesh for fantasy

I was named after that song ;)

Michelle

I heard this song the other day and finally realized he was singing that part in French, so it's not "my belle", but "ma belle" (my beautiful). The "sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble" part is French for the "are words that go together well". Cool song.

MICHELLE, MA BELLE,
THESE ARE WORDS THAT GO TOGETHER WELL,
MY MICHELLE.

MICHELLE, MA BELLE,
SONT DES MOTS QUI VONT TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE,
TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE.

I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU,
THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY.
UNTIL I FIND A WAY,
I WILL SAY THE ONLY WORDS I KNOW
THAT YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.

MICHELLE, MA BELLE,
SONT DES MOTS QUI VONT TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE,
TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE.

I NEED TO, I NEED TO, I NEED TO,
I NEED TO MAKE YOU SEE.
OH, WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME.
UNTIL I DO, I'M HOPING YOU
WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I LOVE YOU-OO-OO.

I WANT YOU, I WANT YOU, I WANT YOU,
I THINK YOU KNOW BY NOW.
I´LL GET TO YOU SOMEHOW.
UNTIL I DO, I'M TELLING YOU,
SO YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.

MICHELLE, MA BELLE,
SONT DES MOTS QUI VONT TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE,
TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE.

AND I WILL SAY THE ONLY WORDS I KNOW
THAT YOU'LL UNDERSTAND,
MY MICHELLE.

Can Mama by John Lennon count as a name song? You know-it goes something like "Mama, I had you-but you never had me"..

If not-Niki By Prince....... Not sure about the spelling on this-goes something like " I knew a girl named Niki guess you could say she was a sex fiend. Met her in a hotel lobby masterbating with a magizine"... Damn-that is a cool song.. Someone may have already picked it-if so-good choice! Cause I sure cannot go back and read all pages.. lol......

[lex]

proper nouns, i think and has to be song title.

niki by prince. like that. ;)



heathcliff's haiku warriors - dave matthews band :banana:

[ladyphlegethon]

Bummer.. I think the song should still count.. lol.... I mean Mama could be a name of a person and in the song it is the name he is using for someone.. hehe.... OK.. It does not count. *sigh* In real life I would argue the whole Mama should be able to count at a Name Song thing.. But since we are here- Niki will have to do...
Also-I hope nobody here looks to me for proper use of words and the proper use English-they will be let down. lol..... I gave all that crap up when I left school-do not think so? Read one of my poems or stories.. hehe.. :-)
