It was a cross street on my commute to work decades ago. I always thought that song was cool for that reason.

16. You forgot "Jennifer Juniper"

[liberalhistorian]

24. I don't particularly care for most of

the songs with my name, either:

Mona Lisa---don't remember who sang it
Lisa, Listen to me---Blood, Sweat and Tears
I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie---don't remember who sang it. This one particularly drove both me and my youngest aunt crazy, since her name was Julie. She's only four years older than me, so she's more like a sister than an aunt. We were young when that song came out, and our family and friends got a kick out of singing it to us all the time. It was cute at first, then it got REAL old REAL fast, lol!

Can't think of any others right now.

[NightTrain]

27. Mona Lisa - Nat "King" Cole; "I'm Not Lisa" - Jessie Colter

n/t

[Mr. McD]

25. How about Cotton Jenny by Gorden Lightfoot or

Pirate Jenny sang by Judy Collins. There both good songs.:)

[Gogi]

15. I guess its a song title....

'Helen, Hell on Wheels'

[liberalhistorian]

26. Yes, Paul McCartney and Wings,

from the 1973 Band on the Run album.

[ironflange]

17. Here's where to look

http://mlyrics.com/

This thing will come up with anything. "Jack" gets pages and pages of stuff, nearly all of which I've never heard of. You really do have to click the banner to start the search, but don't worry, nothing unpleasant seems to happen, but then again I have popups blocked.

[PittPoliSci]

28. Wilson, by Phish

it's the only song with my name in it apparently.

and i hate it.

[Zorra]

18. What's Your Name - Lynrd Skynyrd - I Call Your Name - Beatles

And the Cheers theme song "Where Everybody Knows Your Name".

(sorry, I just had to do it).

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

20. Valleri by the Monkees and Valerie by Steve Winwood

I spell mine Valarie but close enough.

[eyesroll]

21. All I can think of is "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne (if spelling

doesn't count) -- but I can't call that a "favorite." Anyone know any Stacy/ey/i/ie songs?

[Kat45]

22. I only know 2 songs w/ my name in title, and they both suck.

[SarahB]

23. There are so many Sarah songs.

Which is weird because until the 80's, it wasn't all that common of a name. Anyway, I think the lyrics of Fleetwood Mac's or Dylan's would be the best, but there's a little softspot for the sweet and sappy Hall and Oate's "Sarah Smile" as well. Can't answer. Depends on my mood.

29. Grace Kelly Blues: Eels

The cut-rate mime
Walking through the dirty streets
Of Paris in the hot August heat
Sun melting the fake smile away
Just looking for a place to stay

The actress gave up all her old dreams
And traded up now she is a queen
Royal families don't have time for that shit
Your crystal ball - you keep it hid

The tractor trailer driver radios:
Help me someone I'm out here all alone
Truck driving the black night away
Prayin' for the light of day

The kid in the mall works at hawt dawg on a stick
His hat is a funny shape his heart is a brick
Taking your order he will look away
He doesn't have a thing to say

But me I'm feeling pretty good as of now
I'm not so sure when I got here or how
Sun melting the fake smile away
I think, you know, I'll be okay

[NightTrain]
