If you squint, it does. I'm no Dead expert, but reading up on this, I see that Jerry Garcia was married (more than once) to someone who was known informally as "Mountain Girl." I could swear that I read years ago that she was even more informally known as just "Girl." Unless I'm confusing this with another story altogether.
Barb Donovan - Angelina Singer-songwriter from Austin/Texas by way of Detroit/Michigan. "Angelina" is the title and opening track from her second album, released on Gregor Records in 1996. "Angelina loves the city lights Remembers how she danced With all those fellows in one night"
Can't believe I missed this one, as it's a wonderful song and also far and away the best thing Gary Lewis and the Playboys ever released: "Jill" (written by Bonner-Gordon of "Happy Together" fame)
Valerie - Richard Thompson (also covered by Beuasoliel) RT's version starts "Oh Valerie" I think the cover starts with "Valerie" but I'd have to get the disc out and check
Steeleye Span - Alison Gross A traditional ballad (Child Ballad #35). Steeleye Span recorded their version of the song for their album "Parcel of Rogues", released in 1973 on Chrysalis Records. "Alison Gross that lives in yon tower The ugliest witch in the north country Has trysted me one day up to her bower And many a fair speech she made to me"
Kelly Joe Phelps - Katy From his third album "Shine Eyed Mister Zen", released in 1999 on Rykodisc. "Katy's down by the cellar door Calls for me to go Back down to the clover Singing soft and low Singing soft and low"
Rosie - Don Partridge Cinderella Jones - Petula Clark Marianne - Cliff Richard Leah - Roy Orbison Margie - old song, no idea! Louie Louie - The Kingsmen Sally Go Round the Roses - The Jaynettes
Silos - Mary's Getting Married From their album "Cuba", released on the Record Collect label in 1987. "Mary's getting married on March 15th Up in Vermont at her family's house"
Technically, the first word sung in "Leah" is "Hey." As for "Louie Louie," if you're serious it's apparent you don't know this song at all.
Two from Jefferson Starship's Modern Times... Jane, you say it's all over for you and me, girl... Mary, I'll love her all my life But she'll never be my wife...
I must thank you - with so many records in my collection, there are some great ones I haven't listened to in years! But having read your comment, I dug out my copy of "The All-Time Greatest Hits of Roy Orbison" and played it all the way through - great! And on that, the first word of "Leah" is definitely "Leah" - and as it's on the Monument label (1972) I imagine it's the original version. As for Louie Louie, it appears you know something I don't. I know the Kingsmen's version starts "Louie Louie - oh no" - some versions start "Louie Louie - oh Baby," which fits in with my assumption that Louie was a girl's name. It's a good song, with lots of good versions - let's leave it at that. Here's another for the thread - Lana by The Beach Boys. Roy Orbison's song doesn't qualify, of course.
