I think this is the hardest one so far…. requires thinking.
- Me and Mia, Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
- Jolene, Ray LaMontagne
- Eve, the apple of my eye, Bell X1
- Rosanna, Guggenheim Grotto
- Samson, Regina Spektor
In no particular order as they are all bloody excellent. Good blog idea!
Leonard Cohen – Suzanne
Declan O’Rourke – Sarah
Nick Drake – Thoughts of Mary Jane
Guggenheim Grotto – Maria
Iron & Wine – Jezebel
Nice and lazy for a sunday….
Dammit, that “Maria” song is actually called “Cold Truth”.
Hmmm….
I’d have to go with James Yorkston: “St. Patrick”
Okay I have put a lot of thought into this, which I shouldn’t be doing as I should be writing my thesis, anyhoo!
(as usual no order of preference)
Jolene – Dolly Parton, much better and the original
Mustang Sally – The Commitments
Mary – The 4 of us
St. Pauli – Art Brut
Mrs. Robinson – Simon and Garfunkel
Ray LaMontagne’s song is a different one as far as I know, not a cover of the Dolly Parton song. so maybe they can both make it
Yeh, there are at least two songs called Jolene and “Cold Truth” is fine, the name doesn’t have to be in the title
Kate, it’s not that hard. Kate by Ben Folds?
Also Layla, Lola, Angie, Hey Jude, Lovely Rita, Sexy Sadie (loads of Beatles songs), Hey Joe, Sweet Adeline, Sweet Caroline, Peggy Sue, Johnny B. Goode, Cecilia Ann, Jaqueline, Lazy Painter Jane, Michael, Stella was a Diver, Judy, Laura, Mary, My Sharona, Suzanne (Leonard Cohen & Weezer), Amie, Billie Jean, Jessica’s Numbers, Don’t Look Back in Anger, Polly, Sister Jack, So Kind Stacy.
Loads more!
Julia by the Beatles
Africa by Toto (Africa is a chick’s name too!)
Layla by Cream (although I like Clapton’s acoustic version)
Jolene performed by the White Stripes
Jesus by Queen
Delilah by Queen (OK it was about Freddie’s cat but it counts)
Mustapha by Queen (from the Jazz album, to help you find it Tom!)
You know which one I want
Definitely yes for both versions of Jolene songs, and also Jane Says!
Special mention for Ben Folds as the ultimate name-in-song artist in my opinion – am biased towards Jane of course, but also Kate, and Zac & Sara.
Now to continue my narcissism:
Jane – Barenaked Ladies
Lady Jane – Rolling Stones
and finally, if surnames count:
Mrs Potter’s Lullaby – Counting Crows
Hahaha its not hard to think of them- its hard to choose them when all th music is so different
still here goes:
1. Eleanor Rigby- The Beatles
2. Sally Cinnamon- The Stone Roses
3. Mr. Jones- Counting Crows
4. Also by the counting crows, Anna Begins acoustic version from Across the Wire
5. Ben Folds Five- Kate (its just so obvious)
Also an honourable mention for Stella by Interpol which was amazing at the gig.
also have to include Uncle Pat by Ash
