I was going to write my own blog post today. I had much to discuss. Much. Then someone threw kittens into the path of my train of thought, it didn't derail, but the windsheild sure got furry: *This email started with songs with my name in, which, if the sender proves to be correct, has doubled the amount I was aware of to a staggering 2* So then I got to thinking about girls names in songs, sung by boys, of which there are heaps and heaps and from this, songs about boys names, written by girls. And, er, I cant think of a single one. Nearest I got was Denise, Blondie. But this is Denise. Is Dennis in French Denise? In English it would be Dennis Dennis, with your eyes so blue, Dennis Dennis, I got a crush on you which doesnt really work does it? So then, given the paucity of girls singing about boys, I wondered about replacing girls names with boys names Kevin's Clown? - Everley Brothers. But this is boys singing about themselves, and we dont get the boys name I'm Andy, Fly Me, perhaps? 10CC. Its just not the same. Lucas in the sky with diamonds?? I suppose for me, you could have Jimmy Jimmy. Old Fergal and The Undertones. But this is boys singing about a boy too . Oh Cecil? Good ol Neil Sedaka Hmm perhaps not Michael ?? - Beatles again Whats with the lack of girls singing boys names anyway? Who knows? Do we care? Still, this is what occupies me in bored moments at work, of which there are far too many. Anyway, hope you are well, and everything in your world is rosy. The days are getting longer, and Spurs beat Arsenal 5 - 1. You cant buy that pleasure . Often wondered about that. Why the fuck not? Its a bit like other lame phrases, like, the meek shall inherit the Earth What a load of bollocks I am off for a glass of plonk. Love You've got to like the bloke haven't you? *Disclaimer for SBT who I know is bristling. I knowyou had probably thought of this first.x |

"Me and Bobby McGee". Which actually should have been Bobbie, but Kris didn't realize Bobbie was a woman's name. "Don't Mess With Bill" Marvelettes. "C'mon Billy" PJ Harvey. "Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home" Apparently Bill gets around. LOL, I'll leave before I get smacked. Hmmmm "Johnny Get Angry" Shelley Fabares. Alright, I'm leaving.

Toms Diner - Suzanne Vega. Although I don't think his name is mentioned in the song - and its awful - and I now hate myself for mentioning it.

Whatya gonna do wiv "A Boy named Sue" LadyCReturns? "A Girl named Stu" and it's worth a tell. Stu Higglethwaite, a technician in my research group went home on Friday as usual with grease under his finger nails. She showed up on Monday morning in a frock and announced her name was now Suzann

"Jimmy Mac" is so good and so is "Emmit Lee" by Carol Fran... But I think girls mostly sing baby, baby, baby, about love in general, and not about specific boys.
