Names

[boomerkuwanger]

I don't think I stole this idea from anyone, I can't think of where I might have gotten it from, but it seems like it would be very common. What about a mix-cd of just songs whose titles are girl's names? My musical knowledge-base is rather limited but here are a few that I know/have

"Vera Lynn" - Pink Floyd
"Maggie May" - Rod Stewart

[littlewashu]

It's just Vera, apparently.

I LOVE THAT KATE SONG!!!

[calamityjon]

It's because you smoke so much weed.

Layla -- derick & the dominos.

but jeez I hate that song. It's a shame you nixed last names cause Bonita Applebaum by Tribe Called Quest is pretty awesome.

[boomerkuwanger]

The name Applebaum distresses me. Why isn't it either Apfelbaum (all German) or Appletree (all English)? Why Applebaum? On a related note, one time I named a character I made in a video game, Oswaldo Apfelbaum. ~Fin~

[calamityjon]

I knew a girl named "Appelquest" once.

In the interest of pedantry, that Tribe song is called "Bonita Applebum", so it really is all English.

You have only yourself to blame for this

"Allison", the Pixies

I don't think that's going to fit on one mix. That's more like the 6 CD box set of songs with women's names.
