The only one I can think of is "Mambo #5" - "a little bit of Monica" (even though I spell my first name with a "k" - the German way).

^ There is a German Song "Monika" - but believe me, you don't wanna know it, cause it's very (very) cheesy.


But you are also named in Paul Anka's "Zwei Maedchen aus Germany" (= Two Girls from Germany) where he is singing about being in Love with Gisela & Monika. Love that Song!

"Let 'Em In" by Paul McCartney and Wings. In the song Paul uses the names of all his real life relatives including his younger brother, Michael.

I hate that song. :barf: :lol: I think it really may be the worst song ever made, along with "Afternoon Delight" by the Starlight Vocal Band and "Brandy" by...well, whoever. :lol: You know which one I'm taking about, "Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be..." Terrible! :lol:

Looking Glass is the band that performed "Brandy", for whatever it's worth. :lol: The Highwaymen had a #1 hit in the late 50s/early 60s with "Michael" - that's the one that goes "Michael rode the boat ashore...hallelujah..."

Looking Glass, yeah, that's right. :lol: Boy do I hate that song. There's an episode of Square Pegs where they make fun of that song. :lol:

I know a great Cover Version, you should give a Chance. There's a German Singer called Max Raabe, and he (together with a fab Orchester) sings Swing ... and did a great Album couple of Years ago, with lots of Pop Songs covered in his Style. GREAT http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/images/icons/heart.gif

My name is featured in "Hey Paula" by Paul and Paula. (My name's Paul, not Paula)!

And in "Piano Man", my name is mentioned.

Paul was a real estate novelist, who never had time for a wife.

BTW-This is my 1000th post on SO!

Well, it's not spelled your way, but there is a song called "Monica" from the band Extreme. It's not on any of their CD's though. It's a demo. It's not on any of their CD's because a fan came to them and told them about a girl who was also a fan named Monica who needed a heart & lung transplant. That touched them so much they wrote a song about her and the money raised from that song would go to her hospital bills. As far as I know, Monica is still alive.
