Songs about people with odd, strange, or unique names

Tankard - A Girl Called Cerveza
(cerveza = Spanish for beer)

 

Nancy & Lee - Some Velvet Morning
(Phaedra is my name)

 

Jethro Tull - Dr. Bogenbroom

 

or Sossity...

S.F. Sorrow - Pretty Things

 

For a long time I thought the song actually referred to a woman (real or fictional) named Sue D.O -- "Sue, Sue, Sue D. O."

I even speculated D.O might be some kind of inside joke.

Recently I read an interview in which Collins said he just mumbled any nonsensical word (Sussudio) and later found nothing good to replace it and it just stuck.

 

Cruella De Vil

 

Kim Fowley - "Bubble Gum"

 

First to come to mind... Angie which is common, but the way Mick Jagger says it “aingeh” is not.

 

Next in my brain is Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

 

The Cryan’ Shames - Greenburg, Glickstein, Charles, David Smith & Jones

Local heroes in Chicago, their final chart hit reached 115 on Billboard and 11 on WLS on October 14, 1968. I still have the 45.

 

I forgot.

 

Freddy Cannon - Abigail Beecher ("my history teacher")

 

Tremeloes - Norman Stanley James St. Clair:
