Well, there's an Allman Brothers song called "Jessica," but it's an instrumental. Does that count?

Pirate me
Saga of me
I'm mentioned a bit in Someone is Waiting
Others have already been mentioned.
If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

The only one I can think of is "Frankie and Johnny were lovers......"
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

Yeah, that one. How is it that I have one of the most common names around, and I can't think of any?

How about when Vanilla Ice said he rocks the mic like a vandal? Does that count?

My name is Jenny, also. I'm only familiar with 867-5309 and The Killers song as well.

**short story time- I was working a McD's drive-thru years ago and I had never heard of the Tutone song. A customer saw my nametag and freaked out "I have your number on my truck!" he pulled away and he had a bunch of bumper stickers with that number all over his truck. I had no idea what he was talking about at the time so I was a little scared. lol

Yeah, I don't think I'll ever find my name in a song.

There's "Jennifer's Body" by Hole, from their masterpiece work Live Through This. It's only slightly morbid.

Joey, Joey, Joey!
Joey, Joey, Joe...
You've been too long in one place
And it's time to go, time to go!
Joey, Joey, Joe!


It seem like happiness is jus' a thing called Joe
He got a smile that make the lilac wanna grow
He got a way that make the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by
Sometime the cabin gloomy and the table bare
Soon he kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Trouble fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good? That's all I has to know
Seem like happiness is jus' a thing called Joe


Joey, Joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, Joey,
What made them want to come and blow you away?


If it had’t been for Cotton Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from where did you go
Where did you come from Cotton Eye Joe


And many more!
yr ronin,
joey

Um well I doubt there are songs with the name Sam or Samantha in the lyrics. BUT! My hebrew name is Shamona which kind of sounds like "Myyyyyy Sharona!!!!!"

Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
you ought to know what brings me here
you glide through my head blind to fear
and I know why
whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally

or

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!


Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

But Susan

I'm in Mambo #5 also...

"There's a little bit of Erica by my side..."

Oh, and Jenny...funny stuff...my home number was very close to 867-5309, the last digit was the only difference. We used to actually get those phone calls where people would ask for Jenny, laugh, and then hang up. The only joke on them was that they had actually dialed the wrong number.

OMG, downtowndiva, I thought the same thing. I even went around singing "Hey, Chelsea" until someone corrected me. If it's any consolation, your name is mentioned in "Cabaret" when Sally sings "I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie/With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea." Granted, it's a place and not a person. Does anyone know of any songs with or about Marvin?
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

"Kate" by Ben Folds Five

She plays wipe out on the drums
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather 'round to sing the guitar
Oh - I...have you got nothing to say
When all words fail, she speaks
Her mix tapes a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
So the roses can see
Oh - I ... have you got nothing to say

And you can see the roses in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate

Everyday she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I want
She's everything I'm not
Oh - I ... have you got nothing to say

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks and she breathes
I wanna be Kate

Down by Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagavad Gita
I see her 'round every couple days
I wanna meet her so that I can say, "Hey ..."
Kate

I love that song so much re: Your Name In Lyrics

Me either. We'll have to find one.

It’s in a lot more songs than I realized.

Bon Jovi’s “Livin on a Prayer” is probably the most famous. Jon was my first “real” love when I was ten. re: Your Name In Lyrics

“Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
’cause it doesn’t make a difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot
For love - we’ll give it a shot”

But, it’s also in songs by Run DMC, Green Day, Blues Traveler and Johnny Mathis.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

None for me. . .but who wants to write a song about an "Alyssa" anyways? It's such a dull name.
You insult me, I ignore you. That's how the system works around here.
