Songs with Your Name In?

[Bren In Pots]

Brengirl I've googled and found :-

"Could You Please Oblige Us With A Bren Gun?" by by Noël Coward.

[Bren In Pots]

Thinking about it I'm not sure which is the better of the two, a gun or a horses ar*e

Well now, although it isn't spelled the same was as mine - Clair by Gilbert O'Sullivan is an annoying one to have.

And the Clare that Fairground Attraction sing about seems to be a bit naughty:
"My baby’s love is called Clare
serpentine seductress, I can’t compare
my baby’s love is merciless to me
wailing like a hussy and laughing drunkenly"

[OverWyreGrower]

Is there one with the name Shelley in it??

The answer is yes! 2 (from people I have never heard of!)

Tim Christensen (Song for Shelly)
Dance Hall Crashers (Shelly)

They are, of course, spelt wrong... but I'm used to that!

Well, despite the fact that it's a Godawful name I can think of three; Deborah, by T Rex, one by was it Pulp? something about meeting up in the year 2000 and somebody having the name Deborah, but it never suited them (I can relate to that at least) and the Beautiful South one with a string of girls' names in it.

Worse, I was only called it because my mum misheard another song which actually didn't have the name Deborah in it, but she thought that it did; a prize to the person who can guess what it was (clue, my maiden name was Shaw and I was born in the late 50s, though I suppose that's obvious, a name like that dates you as much as the wrinkles)

I am still thinking!
My daughter Deborah (Debbie) was born 1957 so that should help me to twig but it doesn't. All I can think of is Artie or Sandie.

[Alison]

There's quite a few with Alison in, as with many other people, the Beautiful South one (altough that's not really ABOUT any of us so am not sure it counts), another Pixies one, an Elvis Costello one and one by the Lemonheads which I vaguely remember.

[JanieB]

According to Google:- Aerosmith - Janie's Got a Gun; Graystar - Janie's Broken Heart; Sachar, Falls & Wade - Janie's Song; Tim Buckley - Song for Janie.

I haven't listened to any of them so I don't know what they're like .

[Two_Sheds]

oh, this song gives me nightmares. I absolutely, totally hated it.

[SarzWix]

Errrrk! I heard the first 2 bars and had to turn it off!! I'm sure there must be nicer songs with 'Julie' in?!

[Two_Sheds]

I'm sure there must be nicer songs with 'Julie' in?!

Google says this one: YouTube - Fountains of Wayne - Hey Julie

not much better. Why didn't Nick Cave write something for me?

[zazen999]

Oi! Don't diss the Fountains of Wayne!!!

[Newbie]

According to Google:- Aerosmith - Janie's Got a Gun; Graystar - Janie's Broken Heart; Sachar, Falls & Wade - Janie's Song; Tim Buckley - Song for Janie.

I'm a Jane too, i love "Janie's got a gun" although the lyrics aren't exactly cheery! Apparently Ben Folds Five & Barenaked Ladies both have songs titled "Jane" but i've not heard them yet.

Bernadette by the Four Tops (I hate it actually!)

[Rocketron]

What about this one?

YouTube - SARA, BOB DYLAN

Whoever that is singing,doesn't know their Dylan very well. Sara is on Desire, not Blood On The Tracks.
