How many different song titles have male/female names in them?

[Cath!]

There must be thousands I would think.

I can think of a few off the top of my head...

Allison - Elvis Costello
Oh Mickey - ?
Gigi - ?

 

[Pokerman]

"Oh Mickey" was Toni Basil.

"Michelle" by the Beatles (well, when it's the song EVERYBODY sings to ya when they first meet ya, it gets old!)

"Runaround Sue"

"Diana"

"Donna" by Richie Valens

"Wake up Little Susie"

the first that came to mind...

'Oh Sherry' by Journey

 

[Pokerman]

"Oh Sherry" was not Journey. It was Steve Perry as a solo artist.

Well, the "Cassidy" one I looked up....but all the others I knew. This was my music growing up Just don't ask me anything about rock released in the last 5-10 years..

 

[seulreveur]

Thanks for the correction, Pokerman!

 

[kotori]

"The Beatles"

Sorry, kids, but let's get the attributions right.

It's Lennon and McCartney, not "the Beatles." Both Michelle and Hey Jude were "Paul" songs, although "Jude" refered to John's son, Julian.

It's just that there's this little dog nipping at my heels when he hears that: my pet, Peeves.

For my contribution, add Sweet Jane, by Lou Reed.

 

[Pokerman]

"Boris the Spider" - The Who

and kotori, we're talking about who performed the song, not who wrote it. I don't remember any band called "Lennon and McCartney", though I do remember the "Plastic Ono Band"

LMAO...too funny!

 

[kotori]

we're talking about who performed the song, not who wrote it.

Sorry, I just assumed that since the subject was "names in titles" (i.e., the title words that were written by the lyricist), that the performer wasn't the point.

How should we catagorize Georgia on my Mind: by Ray Charles (who always gave the impression of singing about the State), or by Hoagy Carmichael (who wrote the song for his sister, Georgia)?
