There's heaps of songs out there with female names in the title...well, heaps of pop songs anyway!

What about Rosanna (Toto), Stacy's Mom (Fountains of Wayne), Valerie (Mark Ronson), Roxanne (The Police)...ok, I can't think of anymore at the top of my head now.

That's a good selection, Mis.

I'd like to add Eloise, The Damned version and Alison by Elvis Costello.

What no Ruby songs? And so many to choose from too:

Ruby My Love (Cat Stevens)
Ruby Tuesday (Rolling Stones)
Ruby don't take your love to town (Kenny Rogers)
RubyRubyRubyRuby! (Kaiser Chiefs)

and of course, my favourite:

RubySoho (Rancid) from which I get my Orble moniker.

How very egotistical of me I know.
Is there a word for people who are in love with their own names?

Yep

There are certainly a few out there all right.

Rosalita by Bruce Springstein, Sylvia's Mother - Dr Hook, Cathy's Clown - The Everleigh's, Run Around Sue (everyone from The Beach Boys to Leif Garratt), Oh Carol - Neil Sedaka, Barbara-Ann- The Beach Boys, Evie (parts 1 and 2) - Stevie Wright - the list goes on and on and on . . . .

Nice work.

Cheers

Donnie Iris is wonderful. I was going to put him on this list but could not find a Youtube video that was post worthy! So glad that you stopped by, read, and commented.

Hi Mis

Me again, I thought of a couple more:

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence
Pop Will Eat Itself - Cicciolina
Edie Bickel – She

I love them all,

Hi Miswanderlust,

Yeah, I've seen you all around Orble too! And you always leave interesting and positive comments. May I say how cool the photo in your banner is? And the colour scheme for this blog, which it complements, is lovely. Continue the great work!

Just thought of 'How do you solve a problem like Maria?' from The Sound of Music... (or does the song have a different title?)

Oh, and then there's 'Nina, Pretty Ballerina' by ABBA.

And yes, Tracy, you are correct!

Hi you again! Great additions! I was not aware that
Siouxsie and the Banshees had done a cover of Dear Prudence. I will check it out! I was not familiar with
Pop Will Eat Itself - Cicciolina. Off to Youtube!

Thanks for the hook up!

Hi Mis

I love Cicciolina. It's almost impossible for me to listen to it without dancing with my arms in the air.

I found Dear Prudence, I love this version:



Thanks again for the trip down musical lane!!
