    Default Song Titles Using Names.

    I've never started a thread in the music forum before to my knowledge, so I hope this doesn't flop too badly.

    How Many song titles can we come up with that use only names?

    Female
    Roxanne - The Police.
    Mandy - Barry Manilow.
    Lorraine - Bad Manners.
    Billie Jean- Michael Jackson.
    Caroline - Status Quo.
    Maggie Mae- Rod Stewart.
    Delilah- Tom Jones.
    Michelle- The Beatles.
    Peggy Sue - Buddy Holly.


    Male
    I can only think of Mickey - Toni Basil.


    I'm going for solo named titles rather than "Janie's Got a Gun- Aerosmith" or "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds- The Beatles", where there's more to the title than just the name.


    I'm sure there must be loads, but I can't think of them. Come on everyone, P.S loves lists.
