5. Fancy - Reba McEntire

i guess you could make an argument that this one is questionable since nobody outside of the Deep South would ever name their kid Fancy, but this is just such an amazing song and I can’t help but sing along whenever it comes on

 

[Brony]

I'm assuming that Edie (Ciao Baby) by the Cult is DQ'd because of (Ciao Baby).

I’ve never heard of that song but yes that would disqualify it

Fancy was a fairly common name in New England in the 1700s.

Also, Reba's song was a cover of Bobbie Gentry's 1969 original.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Speaking of rock, I just thought of that Stones song that fits 

Absolutely - that was the first song I thought of, followed closely by the already mentioned Clapton and Elvis C songs.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Time to wrap this up

4. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

yeah I know he’s probably a diddler and I’m counting Billie Jean as a single name but Michael put out some amazing songs and this is one of his best.  In fact i bet you’re trying to moonwalk right now 

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

 

[Dan Lambskin]

3. Lola - The Kinks

yes it’s not about a girl but it’s named after a girl

Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walk like a woman and talk like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

 

[Dan Lambskin]

2. Layla - Derek & the Dominos

Sounds good fast.  Sounds good slow.  And who can’t help but think of the end of Goodfellas when listening to this

 

[Dan Lambskin]

1. Angie - Rolling Stones

Just one of those songs I can’t help but sing along to whenever I hear it

Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Thanks to those that followed along and sorry I didn’t okay [some hipster song I’ve never heard of]

 

[Rove!]

Time to go all hipster

Lucille - Little Richard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0Ujb6lJ_mM

  Iconic rock and roll classic that has been covered by so many other bands...

 

[Ilov80s]

1. Angie - Rolling Stones

Just one of those songs I can’t help but sing along to whenever I hear it

Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie

Nailed it 

 

[rockaction]

Some examples that I think didn't make the cut:

Kelly - Del Shannon

Karen - Beach Boys

Bernadette - The Four Tops

Donna - Ritchie Valens

Valerie - Amy Winehouse

Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) - Bruce Springsteen

The last one might be disqualified because of the parens.

Overall, fun list, Mr. Skin.

 

[Rove!]

Caroline - Status Quo

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TJfEA7C3C4

 Status Quo had a ton of hits in the UK, but only one in the US (not this one)

This one from 1973 was featured in their Live Aid set.  Apollo 440 later stole the riff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pURJDToKA0k

Donna was #25

 

[Brony]

Angie is great tune and excellent choice on #1.  I would add these in my hipster wanna be top 10

Naomi - Neutral Milk Hotel

Rylan -  The National

Ana - The Pixies

 

[rockaction]

Donna was #25

Damn. I knew I'd screw one up. I did go back and check every page of the thread so that wouldn't happen, but just knew...sorry, mang. Fun list. I did some internet searching and I think you did pretty well. I'm not sure hipsters really name songs after girls' first names. Maybe some, but I can't recall any off of the top of my head besides The Arrivals' "Elise" and Screeching Weasel's "Claire Monet."   

I'm sure somewhere there's an Anna that's mad at me. Total hipster, modern urbane name.  Gotta be a song named after her.

Hipster alert:  Suzanne - Leonard Cohen

 

[Rove!]

Maybelline - Chuck Berry 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75RiHJGfyUE

 one of the first rock and roll songs

Apparently inspired by the Bob Willis version of an old song called Ida Red https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFef08YZ6qk the chicken in the bread pan picking out dough bit was borrowed by Charlie Daniels...

[DaVinci]

Getting into the Top 10

10. Buddy Holly - Peggy Sue

back when I was a kid and we’d go on road trips I think we had about 5 different oldies cassettes to chose from.  This song was on there

i think they made a movie about it too (the song, not my family road trips)

1. "Buddy Holly" is by Weezer.

2. "Buddy Holly" is a first and last name.

3. Buddy Holly was a man.

 

[rockaction]

Other favorites:

Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkle

Caldonia - BB King

Great choices, all four. These two: I love Cecilia from my youth and do to this day. As for the other, wasn't Cab Calloway the sort of standard bearer for Caldonia? I'll stop speaking and listen.

Caldonia was originally recorded by Louis Jordan, but the BB King version is my favorite.
