musical names

Post Reply New Topic

Another alphabetical song thread, but with a little twist.

Post a song title, or choruas line of a song, that contains a proper name that starts with the next letter in the alphabet.

But- you only get one point if the proper name is a girl's name.

You get FIVE points if you post a song title or chorus line with a boy's name!

This is because girl names are far more common in pop music so thinking of a boys name is more of challenge! Not that we have any way of keeping score. you're on the honor system to keep score in your head!

I'll start by giving myself a five pointer with "You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon, from the graceland album.

"Won't you marry me, Bill" by The Fifth Dimension

Charlie, He's a Good Old Man -- Kelly Harrell

Dude ... one at a time!!

Xavier by Paradise Lost

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/xavier-lyric ... -lost.html ]
Fair Roseanna your vagrancy's a familiar tale
Fraught with danger the lives you led were judged profane

Hatred enfolds us
Inculcates the minds with it's heresy
Laymen enfold us
Clemency arrives to set you free

Faith
Although Xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways

These were the sins of Xavier's past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge
Eve bears the stigma of original sin

Freedom so hard when we are all bound by laws
Etched in the seam of nature's own hand

Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faith

Although Xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways

And as the night turns into day
Will the sun illuminate your way
Or will the nightmares come home to stay
Xavier's love lies in chains

These were the sins of Xavier's past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils

One at a time please.

Okay, lets skip Y and Z for the moment, and take it from the top.

"Andy are you still goofing on Elvis?"

From "Man in the Moon" by R.E.M.

Brandy by Looking Glass.

I know it's worth less points, but I'd rather talk about girl songs.
