New Game, With Songs!
 

This is NOT strictly for ADPis!

On a 10-hour road trip, my fiance & I started thinking of songs with names in them. We came up with more than we thought, and had some interesting moments with some of them. Some of the songs were covers, or we just couldn't think of the artist, so here goes:

Name up to FIVE songs at a time, each with a male or female name, and if you do know the artist, do so. You can't put one song and name five covers. After someone else posts five, you can post more. Ready? I'll start (with my beloved Beatles songs, of course, although you can vary artists):

1. My Bonnie (the Beatles' first semi-hit, btw)
2. Anna
3. Polythene Pam
4. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
5. Michelle

Lola (Kinks)
Allison (Elvis Costello)
Major Tom (David Bowie)
Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Runners)
Sara (Fleetwood Mac)

1. Denise Denise (Randy and the Rainbows)
2. Come On Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Riders)
3. Barbara Ann (The Beach Boys)
4. Jennifer Jupiter (Donovan)
5. Tracy (The Cuff Links) :)

-- I just noticed that southbymidwest's Eileen and my Come On Eileen are probably the exact same song :)

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
Roxanne - Sting
Annie's song - John Denver
Mandy - Manilow
Help me Ronda - the Beach Boys

Five more from the Beatles:
