What Songs Have Your Name in Them?

[Fletch]

Peter and Paul, a rousing ditty from 1931 about a couple of saintly sots in old Jerusalem, "Jaroozalem da goooool-den!"
Played by Gene Kardos' Orch., and AFAIK by nobody else, ever.

Link opens with RealAudio. I'll let you guess which one I am.

 

[Paisley]

Many, many songs, but none quite like "Hey Joe" ... Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

And it's all because "Joe's all alone and he wants to be kissed..." (from "Shout, shout, knock yourself out")

 

[dhermann1]

Real face!

Hey, this little crasheroo at the Lounge was not totally without benefit. With everybody getting new avatars, we can see some new old faces attached to familiar names. Hey, Paisley, you DEFINITELY have to save me a dance some day.
BTW, my new avatar is my old granddaddy in a typical pose.

 

[Paisley]

fftopic: Thanks. I couldn't find my old avatar. This photo makes my eyes look brown (or red), though.

 

[Fletch]

They look just fine from here, Paisley.

 

[shoelessjoe]

And it's all because "Joe's all alone and he wants to be kissed..." (from "Shout, shout, knock yourself out")

Au contraire!

"Up all night
Ooh za za
Ooh staying up all night
Say it ain't so Joe, say
it ain't so Joe ..." (Up All Night, Boomtown Rats)

 

[Smuterella]

what about Lisa, any songs?

 

[shoelessjoe]

what about Lisa, any songs?

Plenty of them ... one of the best -- Sad Lisa, by Cat Stevens: http://www.deezer.com/track/6722

 

[Fletch]

Schöne Lisa, Süsse Lisa (RealAudio) (Beautiful Lisa, Sweet Lisa) by the Comedian Harmonists, 1934.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

what about Lisa, any songs?

The beautiful song from Rear Window, that the composer was having so much trouble with.

 

[Fletch]

Note that Lisa was still a very unusual name then (early 50s) and was pronounced with a z sound ("Leeza"). After the name became a fad (thank you Nat King Cole), that changed.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

Yes, it's one of my favorite names, still a beautiful name, coming from someone who's name was considered not only unusual but a man's up until the 80s.

Sandy Cheeks- Texas Song
(this one is most me)lol

I used to ask my mom why she named me dirt. She always insisted "stop that."
You were named after of course Sandra Dee!

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

I've never personally heard any of these songs, but according to babynames.com there are:

* Chasing Heather Crazy - Guided
* Heather - The Wedding Present
* Heather Honey - Tommy Roe

Great. My name in a song = mediocrity. lol

 

[Fletch]

There's The Heather on the Hill, from Brigadoon. If you don't mind lovers hand in hand walking through you, anyway. lol

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

I do mind, thank you very much! How rude! lol

 

[BellyTank]

I can think of one from the '80s but he's "gone".

Miss_Bella_Hell- Thank Gawd you haven't heard "Heather Honey".

Probably the worst song ever recorded.

Yes, Fletch is very rude indeeed.

[GWD]

[BellyTank]

"Gary Gilmore's eyes" (Adverts)but maybe that's bad taste.

But sorry, that's Punk for ya.
