Best song with a name in the title

I have the very rare talent of instantly finding a song, with any name in it.

You tell me a name, as weird as you like, and I will come back straight away with a relevant well known song.

OK? Your turn.....

I like the songs just mentioned. Another great one: Maria.

I just met a girl named Maria . . .
The Johnny Mathis version in particular.

Yuor not gona come up with the happy birthday song are you?

Bugger!

Hehehehehehehehehe, busted!!

When I read your thread title I immediately thought of "Veronica" too. I love that song. Since you've already nabbed it I'll put in these two:

Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground
Proud Mary by Tina Turner

Amy.

God Shuffled His Feet

I don't know about the best but I've always liked the Ramone's Sheena is a Punk Rocker.

Roseanna by Toto (heheheheheh - now get that one unstuck from your head

All I wanna do in the middle of the evnin is hold you tiiiiight, Rosanna Rosanna.......

Madeleine, by Jacques Brel. Breaks my heart every time I hear it.

Ernie (the fastest milkman in the west). - Benny Hill

Ernie!

Here's one....

Ernesto, the Muy Bueno Cowhand.

Can't remember all the lyrics, but here's one I can recall.


He has seven sons (who are mostly good)
They don't dont fight with knives (too often)...

...and here's Ernie the Milkman.

ERNIE ( THE FASTEST MILKMAN IN THE WEST)

You could hear the hoof beats pound
As they raced across the ground
And the clatter of the wheels
As they spun round and round
And he galloped into Market Street
His badge upon his chest
His name was Ernie
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

Now Ernie loved a widow
A lady known as Sue
She lived all alone in Linley Lane
At number twenty two
They said she was too good for him
She was haughty, proud and chic
But Ernie got his cocoa there
Three times every week
They called him Ernie....... (backing singers: "Ernie")
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

She said she'd like to bathe in milk
He said alright sweetheart
And when he finished work one night
He loaded up the cart
He said do you want pasteurised
Coz pasteurised is best
She says Ernie I'll be happy
If it comes up to me chest
And that tickled old Ernie .....(Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

Now Ernie had a rival
An evil looking man
Called Two Ton Ted from Teddington
And he drove the bakers van
He tempted her with his treacle tarts
And his tasty wholemeal bread
And when she saw the size
Of his hot meat pies
It very near turned her head
She nearly swooned at his macaroon
And he said now if you treat me right
You'll have hot rolls every morning
And crumpets every night
He knew once she'd sampled his layer cake
He'd have his wicked way
And all Ernie had to offer
Was a pint of milk a day
Poor Ernie ........(Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

One lunchtime Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door
It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four
And as he leaped down from of his van
Hot blood through his veins did course
And he went across to Ernie's cart
And he didn't 'arf kick his horse
Who's name was Trigger....... (Trigger)
And he pulled the fastest milkcart in the west

Now Ernie rushed out into the street
His goldtop in his hand
He said if you want to marry susie
You'll fight for her like a man
Oh why don't we play cards for her
Ted sneeringly replied
And just to make it interesting
We'll have a shilling on the side
So Ernie dragged him from his van
And beneath the blazing sun
They stood there face to face
And Ted went for his bun
But Ernie was to quick
Things didn't go the way ted planned
And a strawberry flavoured yoghurt
Sent it spinning from his hand
Now Sue she ran between them
And tried to keep them apart
And Ernie pushed her aside
And a rock cake caught him underneath his heart
And he looked up in pained surprise
As the concrete hardened crust
Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye
And Ernie bit the dust
Poor Ernie ........(Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

Ernie was only fifty-two, he didn't want to die
Now he's gone to make deliveries
In that milkround in the sky
Where the customers are angels
And ferocious dogs are banned
And a milkmans life is full of fun
In that fairy dairy land
But a woman's needs are many fold
And Sue she married Ted
But strange things happened on their wedding night
As they lay in their bed
Was that the trees a rustling
Or the hinges of the gate
Or Ernies ghostly goldtops a rattling in their crate
They won't forget Ernie ........(Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

Please dont tell me you bought a copy when it was released?

well, M.G. I love this one among others:

Bill

I used to dream that I would discover
The perfect lover someday.
I knew I'd recognize him if ever
He came 'round my way.
I always used to fancy then
He'd be one of the God-like kind of men
With a giant brain and a noble head
Like the heroes bold
In the books I've read.
But along came Bill
Who's not the type at all,
You'd meet him on the street
And never notice him.
His form and face,
His manly grace
Are not the kind that you
Would find in a statue,
And I can't explain,
It's surely not his brain
That makes me thrill -
I love him because he's wonderful,
Because he's just my Bill.
He can't play golf or tennis or polo,
Or sing a solo, or row.
He isn't half as handsome
As dozens of men that I know.
He isn't tall or straight or slim
And he dresses far worse than Ted or Jim.
And I can't explain why he should be
Just the one, one man in the world for me.
He's just my Bill an ordinary man,
He hasn't got a thing that I can brag about.
And yet to be
Upon his knee
So comfy and roomy
Seems natural to me.
Oh, I can't explain,
It's surely not his brain
That makes me thrill -
I love him because he's - I don't know...
Because he's just my Bill.

My Girl, Bill
