Songs With Women's Names In The Title – Pre-1980, Vol. 2

This is part 2 of a six-part series. If you missed part 1, you can read it here. This installment covers the rest of the pre-1980 songs with women's name in the titles. All the previous caveats about not yelling at me still apply. Thanks again to Carol, David, Wanda, Martha, Don, Daniel, Martina, Kevin, Penny, Melanie, and Angela for your suggestions, at least one of which made the final cut of 90 songs! Thanks also to those who suggested songs that didn't happen to make the cut. Enjoy! ~  JH



1)  Steely Dan  ~  "Rikki, Don't Lose That Number"




2)  Dion & The Del Satins  ~  "Runaround Sue"




3)  Kenny Rogers & The First Edition  ~  "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town"




4)  Buddy Holly  ~  "Peggy Sue"




5)  Looking Glass  ~  "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)"




6)  The Four Tops  ~  "Bernadette"




7)  The Association  ~  "Along Comes Mary"  (Hands down, the weirdest song intro I've ever seen for a live performance.)




8)  Simon & Garfunkel  ~  "Cecilia"




9)  The Four Seasons  ~  "Dawn (Go Away)"




10)  Van Halen  ~  "Jamie's Cryin'"




11)  KISS  ~  "Beth"




12)  Nat King Cole  ~  "Ramblin' Rose"  (How many people do you know who would follow up a KISS song with one by Nat King Cole? I mean, really!)




13)  The McCoys  ~  "Hang On Sloopy"  (Weird name, sure, but – based on the song's lyrics – definitely a girl.)




14)  Louis Armstrong  ~  "Hello, Dolly!"




15)  The Rolling Stones  ~  "Angie"
