Women's names in song????????????
 
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

Oh, yea, maybe one....Maria.

Okay here's 2 from the opposite end of the spectrum. Both great entertainers in their time.

Thank goodness someone remembered Diana by Paul Anka. But wouldn't it have been more fun to go from memory than Googling?

I didn't see Hooray for Hazel anywhere, though. And Sweet Jane by Lou Reed and The Cowboy Junkies (yeah, I know The Velvet Underground's version was mentioned but The Cowboy Junkies' version is soooooooo much better!!)

babshill 04-15-2013 11:37 PM

Marie Laveau by Bobby Bare. Country song.

I bet this is the definitive list of songs with girl's names in it...

I bet there's not one more song written that applies.

I bet I would be wrong!

Just noticed...........but I've seen much older........esp. the other day.

Nonetheless..............here are two songs with female names:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sFy5_kmEi4"]Jay & The Americans - Cara Mia - YouTube[/ame]

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.

AriaGrandparents2013 04-16-2013 11:06 AM

Dawn by Frankie Valli........."Dawn, go away I'm no good for you......."

Can't believe no one mention the Beatles' Dear Prudence - won't you come out and play??? Obviously near and dear to my heart since my name is Prudence - had my kids convinced they wrote this song for me!!!:icon_wink:

Tom Hannon 04-16-2013 07:08 PM

Prudence was in reference to Mia Farrows sister who during the Beatles trip to India didnt want to come out and play.

bobbya 04-16-2013 08:31 PM

Lots of great names but I have not seen one of my favorites. Aubrey was her name by Bread. A beautiful song for a beautiful name.

mainlander 04-16-2013 08:37 PM
