Woman-ly Songs

OK.  Here’s a music topic for you…

Songs with a woman’s name in the title.  And they have to be good songs.  I’ll start—Melissa by The Allman Brothers Band.

  11. I saw Angie, by the Rolling Stones on the list. Fantastic song. My other favorite would be Lola, by the Kinks. Of course, Lola was not actually about a woman…but hey “girls will be boys and boys will be girls…”

    Because I can’t find The Band’s Ophelia, I offer a girl doing a cover:

    The song’s older than her, a good thing on multiple levels.

  20. I almost forgot.

    Vera.

    Admittefly, it’s not nearly as good without the Bring the Boys Back Home chaser.

    The song’s named for Vera Lynn, who’s famous for this song.  Which was used to killer effect at the end of my favorite movies…

    Anyone?  Bueller?

  22. I saw your list of terrible songs, Jed, and I absolutely agree with all of them. I mean “I want you…” is such a terrible song. But Lola? C’mon….

    Oh, and nobody mentions Peg (Steely Dan) or Roxanne (the Police)?
