This thread is for your name song. I have at least two songs with my name in it. "Oh Heather Honey" and "Heather on a Hill" from Brigadoon.

Does anyone else have one?

Ah well, I have to reveal a little of my checkered past here. A boyfriend who was a jazz clarinettist and composer one wrote a song for me..... (sigh).
I believe there IS a song called Sara... (no 'h ') .

I have two songs that I know of, with my name in the title. They are: "Susie" by Elton John/Bernie Taupin and "Susie Q" by either Canned Heat or CCR(Credence Clearwater Revival). I'm not sure which band it is, but they're both from the 1970's.

"Wake Up Little Suzie Wake Up"?
Simon and Garfunkel amongst others.

I just found about ten more with my name!
If anyone has a challenging name to find just let me at it. I have ways of finding them!

Sara you have about fifty by all sorts of artists!
George, you have lots of songs. Copago, just Jack and Jill!
Amy there were quite a few too.

Sara, as long as your boyfriend wasn't Woody Allen, it won't go any further than this board!

Billy, Don't Be A Hero - Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods

And I hate that song with such an unbelievable vengeance. Isn't it one of the most annoying things known to man when you're introduced to some (ahem) wit and they instantly say the title of some song with your name in it, usually the one you hate and that you've heard people saying a million time before."Very funny", you say through gritted teeth as you pummell them to death.

This is interesting stuff here. My name usually evoked "what a pretty name" and the Brigadoon rendition from older folks, and the "Oh Heather Honey" thing from the younger crowd. It was a One Hit Wonder thank God. I was one Heather out of 3000 kids at school and it rhymes with plenty of things, mainly silly. HeatherTether was the one that drove me bananas! They'd hit the tether ball and pretend it was me. My last name rhymes with something equally unflattering. Much worse.
I much prefer the Corries, "Oh Flower of Scotland".

So SuperFurry, you have the folksong version of "Billy Boy"
"Oh where are you going charming Billy?" and then the other one that I shall endeavour never to sing to you.
And CellarDoor, I'd forgotten how lovely your name was. We had one Diane in class. She was like me, one in thousands.
You have a few other songs but I'll cite: "Diana in her dreams" by Shocking Blue. I have no idea of what it is though!


Michael Jackson should talk!

Thank you Bruyere for reminding me of Brigadoon. I once appeared in a stage production of that same musical. I played the part of Meg Brockie (a part that never made it to the screen version, probably because she was the town scarlett woman!). I had to sing a song that contained every Scottish surname known to man in it. Can you imagine how difficult it is to sing so many names begining with MAC in very quick sucession. A total nightmare! Most nights I messed up and found myself making it up as I went along.

Anyway, Neil Diamonds 'Sweet Caroline' has caused me no end of problems. My current 'squeeze' sometimes presents Karaoke and of course sings all the old standards, said song being one of theese. My former 'squeeze' was present on one of theese occasions and lost the head thinking he was singing some kind of ode to me. He wasn't of course as he is not nearly such a cheesy person, but try telling the former 'squeeze' this!

I didn't have nearly so much trouble with Status Quo's Sweet Caroline.

Give me some time, I'll have my name changed into Romeo ;-)

Seems to me there are lots of songs at that moment.

Does anybody know a song with "Wim" in it? I didn't think so ;-)

My name is Kristy - I don't think I have a song !
It's understandable though, not a lot rhymes with "Kristy"!

I don't have any name songs either.

But I've always had a special place in my heart for Has Anybody Seen My Gal? (I don't know the original artist).

My mom loves to tell the story about how my dad would dance me around the living room on his feet before I could even walk, singing that song, with revised lyrics, of course:

"Two foot two
Eyes not blue
Not much hair and toothless, too!
Has anybody seen my gal?"

And you can keep your smart comments to yourself.

Consequently, I also like the song Brown-Eyed Girl.

You do have quite a few Christine songs though I'm sure that might not do the trick!

I used to have "Five Foot Two Eyes of Blue" sung to me, while I was 5 2 and my eyes were blue. They're still blue.
But I grew two inches.

I think "Hello my baby hello my darling hello my ragtime gal" was my song until I realized it hadn't been written for me. My dad had a music program on the radio then and gave a salute.

The one that fits my chosen Fun Trivia persona has got to be "Ring Tail Tom" (recorded by the Rooftop Singers about 1962 or 1963).

Then there's:

Tom Dooley (an old American folksong, I believe, but popular in the UK in the late fifties when it was sung by the Kingston Trio);

Tom Joad (by Woody Guthrie, based on "The Grapes of Wrath");

Tom Bowling;

I also seem to remember vaguely somethign called "Tom Tom Turnaround" (late 1960s ?).

We haven't done much work on this one lately, tsk tsk, Tom did you put "Tom Tom the piper's son, stole a pig and away he run?"

I'm hoping Hamish is your real name Hamish, as I found one for you...by George Jones, Hamish's tune.
Hey we take our welcomes seriously folks, don't we?

My first name is Tom so I guess Tabby and bruyere have already helped me out. I also have one for my screen name. I believe Prince did a song called "Cream"...

Christ on a bike! I just thought of a good one:

Don't Be A Fool, Billy - Super Furry Animals!

Bit like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted, but thanks for the advice, chaps!

We aim to please:

Martin's Mambo.

I found about 25 others, I'll get them to you later.
Unless Father Furry can be bothered!
