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.

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.

You know which one I'm taking about, "Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be..." Terrible!

catlover79 · 01-31-2009, 05:25 PM

Looking Glass is the band that performed "Brandy", for whatever it's worth.

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.

Boy do I hate that song. There's an episode of Square Pegs where they make fun of that song.

^ Personally, I've heard worse songs, but I can understand why people can't stand it.

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

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.
