The Foo Decides: Best Song With A Woman's Name as THE Title

[RenoZag]

What say you, Foo ?

My ballot goes to "Layla"

[RenoZag]

"Cecilia" by Simon & Garfunkel missed the list, but a snappy tune in it's day

[RenoZag]

"Peggy Sue" - Buddy Holly

[Martin Centre Mad Man]

Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver.

Primus

Whoops. I misread the criteria. This has a woman’s name IN the title, not AS the title.

[RenoZag]

"Sussudio" Phil Collins

[Markburn1]

Ah Leah

Donnie Iris

It's the Foo. Who's gonna report you ?

[Martin Centre Mad Man]

My actual vote goes to Michael Jackson’s, Billie Jean.

That opening drum groove and bass line is about as perfect as music can be. It is so amazing in its simplicity.

I enjoy the subtext to this one, that she's not a real woman but his musical muse.

[Jazzgirl_127]

There are considerably less good songs with men's names in the title

[RenoZag]

There are considerably less good songs with men's names in the title

Because there are considerably fewer men worth writing songs about.

"Peggy Sue" - Buddy Holly

Like it....or "Wake up a Little Susie" by the Everly Brothers...

I won't vote.

I think Layla is probably the best, but as a (former) musician, I like Rhiannon and Maggie May (not in either order) probably more.

I like Lola and Angie, of those on the list. ALL the others that have been suggested are great too. There isn't just one.

I think I used to date miss Cowbell. At least her name rings a bell. Maybe her face too.

[Bocco]

I voted for Angie just because I like the Stones.

If Althea by the Grateful Dead was listed I would have gone with that.

Barbara Ann ~ The Beach Boys

Windy ~ The Association

There's also "Jamie" (which only really awesome women are named) and "Suzanne" both by Weezer.

Excellent.

Bertha could have been a nice choice, too.

[TheZagPhish]

I voted for Alison since I'm a huge Elvis Costello fan and I love that song.

But honestly his song, "Veronica" takes the cake for me. It's about his grandmother, and the simple video is heartbreaking and amazing. Paul McCartney plays bass and shares songwriting credit.

[TheZagPhish]

also, more cowbell

Nassau Coliseum... that place was a bit of a dump... they re-did it... now it is a fancy dump. Islanders moved for a reason.

Barbara Ann ~ The Beach Boys

John McCain did a version of that ….that is popular in DC.....
