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.

Bryan Adams - Summer of 69:

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

Also, I live in a military town, so I hear the "Jody call" ad nauseum:

"Ain't no use in goin' home - Jody's got your girl and gone."

I don't know what I'm supposed to do with her, but I've gotten her, and I'm gone.

And no one grew into anything new, we just became the worst of what we were."

I just found a Duran Duran song with my name in it. Too late Marlene. These are where all these pronunciations of Marlene came from, bad 80's songs. Oy. But they all have sort of negative connotations.

Broadway:

Company - Someone is Waiting - "Blue-eyed Sarah", my actual eye colour
Ragtime - Sarah Brown Eyes, and is mentioned in some other songs

Other

Don't Say Sarah - Wave
Sarah - Maren Ord
I know there's another I don't really like it though, and I don't know who sings it.

"Lucky" by Radiohead has the name Sarah as well.

I've never heard that one, I'll have to listen to it.

It's one of my favorites from Radiohead. I'm not really a Radiohead fan, but their best songs are really great. Thom Yorke (the singer) said that he used the name Sarah in the song not because it had a huge personal significance, but he rather just liked the name.

I really don't think there's a song with my name in it. (Kelsey) I tried googling it and I couldn't find anything

Andrew is the title of a Bowling for Soup song, but if I remember correctly the name isn't directly mentioned in the song...

...Kellie?

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

This is for the guy with the name Andrew on page 2...
Your name is used on the show Easter Rising (music by Michael Arden), and one of the main characters name is Andrew, and the other guy sings a song about him that starts (and said elsewhere in the song,
"Dear Andrew,"

Yay for you!

In "Another Saturdurday Night in NY" from I Love You Because, its being sung to a Catherine. Really who needs more in life then being sung to by Joe Cassidy or Colin Hanlon...

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Me and Emily by Rachel Proctor

Floorboard's filled with baby toys,
An' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups.
Drivin' through the rain with no radio,
Tryin' not to wake her up.
Cell 'phone says "low battery",
God, what if I break down?
I'm just lookin' for an exit with a lotta lights,
A safe little interstate town.

Just a cheap hotel,
With a single bed,
And cable TV:
Is good enough for me an' Emily.

Some day, when she's old enough,
She's gonna start askin' questions about him.
Some kid at school brings his Dad for show an' tell,
An' gets her little mind a-wonderin':
"Where's my Daddy? Do I have one?
"Does he not love me like you do?"
Oh, maybe I'll find someone to love the both of us,
An' I'll tell her when she's old enough to know the truth.

Will it break her heart?
Will she understand,
That I had to leave?
That's what was best for me an' Emily.

That house was never clean enough; his dinner never warm enough.
Nothing I did was ever good enough to make him happy.
So, I guess, he gave me what he thought I deserved,
But it would kill me if he ever raised his hand to her.

Big rigs are throwin' rain on my windshield,
An' I feel like they're laughin' at me.
Fin'lly the storm is lettin' up,
An' the mornin' is breakin' free.

It's a brand new day,
It's a second chance.
Yesterday is just a memory,
For me an' Emily.
Ah.

Floorboard is filled with baby toys,
An' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups.
Least there's one good thing that he gave me,
An' she's startin' to wake up.

I love Me and Emily probably because it has my name in it. Country is also a guilty pleasure of mine!

Well, my name is Aria and it isn't really used in songs as a name, but more as the dictionary definition.

I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

Haha...I never knew Lili Marlene was a show tune though...

Um...
I'll write you a song!

Marleeene, I don't really know you, Oooh
You're knee is in your avatar.
Unless its someone else's knee,
That would be creepy.

Oooh! What about in Aladdin, nomdeplume?

One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block
