Girls' Names Mix

[jpgretzky15]

What are some songs that either have a girl's name in the title, a girl is addressed in the song by name, or both? Make a mix that goes out to all the girls you love, personally by name. If the girl's name is not included in the song, please put in parentheses who it is. Personally, I'm making it songs that are for the most part, love songs to the girl or songs that regard her well, so I'm not gonna put in "Sadie" by Alkaline Trio, because while Sadie is a girl, it's about her being in the Manson family. But you can do what you like.

Boston-Amanda

[Wobbie]

Plays Pretty for baby- Saosin (mentions Rachel)

This pisses me off. This IS NOT a Saosin song. It's a Zolof The Rock And Roll Destroyer song, from their first album... Which was the only album where Anthony Green was a member of the band. They had two singers. The main one being Rachel. See the link there? Anthony sang on a few tracks on their first album before he left the group.

I have no idea why so many people tihnk this is a Saosin song. Sounds nothing like them when they had Anthony.

Rant over.
