"Gloomy Sunday" has my name written all over it...

Fletch · Nov 15, 2008

Is your name Domingo? or Sonntag?

...or should we be pulling an intervention here?

I also have a niece who is named Jennifer, though I doubt my brother was hip enough to name her after the Donovan song.

There is a line in the song C.C. Ryder that goes "Jenny take a ride, now."

If there are any other references to a Jennifer or Jenny I can't recall at present.

Jennifer's older sister is named Michele and she was born in 1967. Guess how she got her name?

Marizpan what is your first name? Maybe we can find a song with at least your name in it.

Sonya (Yup! Alay-Yup!)
by The California Ramblers, 1925

I had a wonderful sophomore year in high school :eusa_doh:

Stacy's Mom

Does anybody know any other songs with my name?

K.D. Lightner · Nov 16, 2008

Marzipan -- I did recall a movie called Red Sonja, and there are a couple of songs on the net that have the name "Red Sonia" (not Sonja) in them. I have never heard the songs, but the lyrics can be Googled.

I am assuming that Sonja and Sonia are pronounced alike. Perhaps they are not.

A group called Crackers has a song called "Red Sonia"

A group called The Ladies has a song called "Black Caesar/Red Sonia"

Neither of the songs have romantic, upbeat lyrics.

I did find a song called "Sonja" that Lyle Lovett sings, have never heard it, either.

I am a Karol with a K and there are two wonderful classic rock songs called Carol, but nothing with a K.

I'll give you a hint....

"Some people call me a space cowboy. Some people call me the gangster of love. Some people call me..."

I have been tormented by this connection ever since I was little.

I'd expect to be made fun of if my parents named me Pompatus. lol

Hey, at least it sounds noble... lol

Like an ancient Roman warrior...or a city buried under ash...

Sydney Loren · Nov 17, 2008

I've never heard of a song that uses the name Lauren, but my nickname is out there.

"Lola", The Kinks
"Whatever Lola Wants", Ella Fitzgerald
"Copacabana", Barry Manilow

Those are the only one's I've heard.

Inky · Nov 17, 2008

ugh, i ONLY use my given name on legal documents and it has two songs associated with it (that I am aware of), both implying that girls with my name are fast and loose with their, um, kisses

The most recent - A Simon and Garfunkel ditty that made my young life a living H E double toothpicks from 5th grade (when it was released in 1970) through high school (and no, someone has never taken his place when he got up to wash his face, sheesh!) and the other a older song that my uncle sang to me about my mother knowing if I was out or not.

Now you guess what my name is

Paisley said:
...there's "Work with Me Annie" by The Royals.

Hank Ballard and the Midnighters also recorded this, along with the sequel
"Annie Had a Baby" which was promptly banned "back then".
Anyhow, "Smokey Joe's Cafe" for me....

Unfortunately the name Brandon isn't ideal for rhyming.

Brandon- Camden (NJ)
Brandon- Plankton (even slant rhymes are lame)

Unless someone puts music to "Brandon bo Bandon, Fee Fi Fo Fandon...etc." I doubt I'll get a song.

K.D. Lightner · Jan 6, 2009

Inky -- your name is Cecilia (sp?) and I remember both songs. The first one came out when I was in grade school and did imply a naughtiness, at least for the time:

Does your mother know you're out,
Cecilia
Does she know that I'm about
to steal ya.

I don't even recall the rest, but was a big hit back then.

Well done, karol! I am indeed Cecilia

Who'd have thought such a fairly uncommon name would have not one, but two songs. I guess we Cecilia's make an impression, hahaha.

have a great day!

K.D. Lightner · Jan 6, 2009

Inky -- I think the name Cecilia has a pretty, musical ring to it, which may be one of the things that inspire songwriters. Besides, of course, the "bad girl" angle.

We could be named after some really bad girls: Jezebel, was a Frankie Laine hit song back in the early 50's, and there was a song in the mid-50's called Delilah. And those afore-mentioned "Lola" songs were pretty naughty, even if one of the Lolas was not actually a woman.

My name is Mitzy Gale, so no songs at all!!
For Katie (which is my daughter's name) Taj Mahal used to sing a song called Katie at the Garden Gate and on the flip side of the record was Wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate.

K.D. Lightner · Jan 7, 2009

I recall a song that dates back before I was born. It was called K-K-K-Katie. Don't know who wrote it, but I believe it's really old.

Eva Morsikova · Jan 13, 2009

My little eva, eva, eva; I'll never leave her, leave her, leave her...

My Little Eva by Lowenwirth and Cohan sung by Frank Reade.

I just got the record today but there's so much "static" that it's hard to hear everything. That and it's pretty old. If anybody knows all of the lyrics or have a more clearer recording, please let me know.

"My little Eva, Eva, Eva
I'll never leave her, leave her, leave her.
Working hard in a factory,
she's more than all the world should see."
All I can really pick out.
