Funny thing, of the million or so songs that have been written and recorded, there are very few songs that contain a female name. ;D ;D ;D

Technically, in that song, Sue is a man's name ;D

This thread is over 5 years old.
Just noticed...........but I've seen much older........esp. the other day.
Nonetheless..............here are two songs with female names:
Jay & The Americans - Cara Mia - YouTube
Cara Mia........from 1965
Also, our 2 year old daughter used to sing “Daisy”.......(give me your answer do, I’m half crazy over the love of you).....
She’d sing the entire song in the back seat of the car........”Daisy, Daisy”.......plus the Sesame Street album of songs.....
But Cara Mia........a beautiful song from “back in the day”..............
Also, has anyone mentioned "Sherry or Cherie Baby" by the Four Seasons?????????? Jerseyites will remember that one.............
NOT SURE WHY but hyperlink to Jay & The Americans - Cara Mia - YouTube hyperlink which shows on my screen and "email" post, will not show on TV's final post.

Here is one I wrote about an acid trip in 1969...with a girl's name in the title
Jessica And Me
No one cared a good goddamn about poor Annalee
Curled up in the corner conversing with a flea
They talked of many pleasant things
Like watermelon moons
Annalee and her new friend were making plans for June
We all sat in amazement watching circus on the wall
Jessica was eating cake and rolling �cross the floor
She talked about some silly thing like what she learned in school
Then fell on through the attic
And danced across the roof
We talked in several languages
But, no one said a word
Too busy chasing diamond stars for passages of verse
Annalee took off her clothes to look more like a flea
It was another big adventure
For Jessica and me!

May as well get this one going again.
How did nobody remember the greatest girl name in song?
In 1961 the Edsels sang about their girl "Rama Lama Ding Dong."
You don't meet too many Rama Lama Ding Dongs anymore...

I believe she was a friend of "Short Fat Fannie" (1957 Larry Williams).

Eleanor Rigby, Hey Jude (even though Paul wrote it for John's son Julian), You make me dizzy Miss Lizzy,
Dizzy Miss Lizzy was Larry Williams. The Beatles covered it.

Now that we've covered pretty much all of the hundreds of girls names in songs, has anyone ever noticed that there are very few songs with boy's names in the title.
There are a few, Johnny, Billy, Norman etc, but I can't think of a lot more.

Considering that it is the title track from "Layla and Assorted Love Songs" that Eric Clapton wrote to proclaim his love for Patti Harrison (the wife of his friend, recording partner & Beatle ... George Harrison) ..... I think we can assume Eric meant it to be a woman's name. ;-) At least one other song on that album (Bell Bottom Blues) was an ode to Patti.
After Patti left George and married Eric (George attended the wedding, those crazy rock stars!) .... Eric wrote "Wonderful Tonight" for her.

In 1962 there was a Billboard #12 hit "Close to Cathy" by a guy named Mike Clifford. It was his only Top 40 hit. You can find it on YouTube. I thought it was awful.

We are just beginning to look at TV and hope to visit in late April. I want to thank everyone who has posted on this board since we know nothing at this point and everything helps.

Linda Lou - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Nadine - Chuck Berry
Sweet Pea - Tommy Roe
Abigail - Embers, Freddie Cannon
About the girl named Lou - Cadillacs
Alexis - Sandy Nelson
Sweet Leilani - Chris Isaak
These names are mentioned in songs but are not mentioned in the titles:
Fatima - Ahab the Arab - Ray Stevens
Felina - El Paso - Marty Robbins
Belinda - Solitary Man - Neil Diamond
A few instrumentals:
Cleo's Mood - Junior Walker
Josephine - Bill Black
Perfidia - Ventures
Mathilda - String-A-Longs
A few more that came to mind:
Here Comes Marsha - Pyramids
Leah - Roy Orbison
Charlene - Sevilles
Sally Go Round The Roses - Jaynettes
Georgia - Ray Charles
Little Egypt - Coasters
Jenny Take A Ride - Mitch Ryder
