In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (Fillmore version) - Allman Brothers Band
For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her (Live version) - Simon & Garfunkel

CAROLINE, NO - The Beach Boys (1966) -- #32
LITTLE JEANNIE - Elton John (1980) -- #3

 

Still a female name. That was the challenge given.

 

You're right

 

Some of what I'm listening to on Shuffle
Caroline Says II-Lou Reed
Melissa-ABB
Blue Jean-David Bowie
My Sweet Annette-Drive By Truckers
Irene Wilde-Ian Hunter

 

Just wanted to make sure if any newcomers of the song walk into a in a club down in old Soho, they don't get the surprise of their lives.

 

Five for now—I’ll save another five for later...

Fleetwood Mac: “Rhiannon”
CSN: “Suite Judy Blue Eyes”
Dion and the Belmonts: “Runaround Sue”
Hall & Oates: “Sara Smile”
Steely Dan: “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”

 

Little Queenie - (Chuck Berry)
Marie Marie - (The Blasters)
Kathleen - (Townes Van Zandt)
Suzanne - (Leonard Cohen)
Sweet Jane - (Lou Reed)

Or maybe...

Good Golly Miss Molly - (Little Richard)
Bernadette - (The 4 Tops)
Sherry - (The 4 Seasons)
Isis - (Bob Dylan)
There's A Light Beyond The Woods Mary Margret (Nancy Griffith)

Or maybe...

Emily - (Frank Sinatra)
Ro Ro Rosey (Van Morrison)
Maryann - (Live Adventures: Al Kooper / Michael Bloomfield)
Cathy's Clown (The Everly Brothers)
Dindi (Antonio Carlos Jobim)

Just for kicks...vote on set 1,2,3 or they all pretty much stink.

 

Haha..I got familiar with the live version from around 1980....I liked that over the studio version. ....

It was until years later that I understood that it wasn't about a girl...

Franz Ferdinand: Jacqueline

Camper van Beethoven: Tania

Townes van Zandt: Kathleen

The Clash: Janie Jones

Kevin Coyne: Marlene

 

Focus Sylvia
Allman Brothers Jessica
Glen Campbell Where's The Playground, Susie?
Bruce Springsteen Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)

Then I guess A Boy Named Sue would fit the bill. But would April Come She Will make the cut.

 

Rosalita (Bruce Springsteen)
Come on Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Runners)
Whole Lotta Rosie (AC/DC)
Suite Sister Mary (Queensryche)
My Michelle (Guns 'N Roses)
