Songs with the name Sarah (or Sara) in them...*

Sister Sara's Theme, by Ennio Morricone:

 

Sarah smiles by Bram Tchaikovsky - it was a minor hit over here in Holland, from 1979:



AFAIK, the song never appeared on CD, unfortunately. Had to make my own vinyl rip, just like the poster of the youtube video.

 

and I seem to remember a movie, where a kid says Cue Sarah. Curly Sue? or I could've just said it myself, putting Sarah Vaughan on...

 

Big Big Train, Along Came Sarah
Bill Bruford's Earthworks, Sarah's Still Life
It Bites, Sister Sarah
Deke Leonard, In Search of Sarah and Twenty-Six Horses
Madness, Sarah
Madness, Sarah's Song
Ocean Colour Scene, My Brother Sarah

 

"What Sara Said" by Death Cab For Cutie

 

The great "Practice Makes Perfect" by Wire, a sinister one:

"You see up in my bedroom I've got Sarah Bernhardt's hand.
Practice makes perfect.
I've done this before.
Never for money.
Always for love...

Please dress in your best things and don't make a fuss.
You see up in my bedroom Sarah's waiting for us..."

 

That Shel Silverstein song that Tori Amos covered: Sarah Sylvia Cynthia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out
(Edit: oops! see this has already been mentioned. Apologies. Gives you an alternate version though)
Who is Sarah? - Steve Reich

A couple others (though these may not be advisable for a mixtape for your friend):
Sarah Dies - Michael Nyman
Sarah's Funeral - Randy Newman (from the Ragtime soundtrack)

 

I don't know.. the original post is 8 years ago, maybe the relationship's gone sour by now

 

This thread is so old, I certainly hope the OP has compiled his mixtape by now. Otherwise, I think he's missed the chance. Anyway, I'll throw "Sara's Not Sober" by the Sidewinders into the hat.

 

Sarah Crazy Child - John's Children (Marc Bolan)

 

...and the winner is...

A guy named Mauro had HUGE radio hit i Sweden in the eightees and it was called...Sarah

 

"Sarah" by Ween. Sure, the band is mostly a joke, but this is one of their great "serious" songs.

 

"Song For Sarah Jane" by Hawksley Workman:

 

A straightforward "Sarah"...Ray LaMontagne

 

Gary Lewis & The Playboys - Sarah Jane
"I'm the envy of the fellas 'cause I only make 'em jealous when I talk about my Sarah Jane".

 

There a song "Sarah" by Demis Roussos, issued in 1977. But it's sung in french and is basically a sirtaki dance, so I'm not sure if it would fit.

 

Two Sarahs...."From Sarah with love" by Sarah Connor

 

Very popular song in Italy

 

Is it too late to put Sarah's Concern by Curved Air?

 

Yes, from their "Shades of a Blue Orphanage" album.
The first Sarah was about his Grandma, the second was about his daughter.
