Song Names

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I was bored so I went through my iTunes and copied down all of the names found in songs. Some of these are actually nouns in the title but could be used as names. Others are actually names in the title. Some of them are silly. If you're curious about what song contains a name, just ask and I'll be happy to answer!

I was named after the song Amanda by Boston as my parents knew the lead singer.

That's pretty cool. The song I have is actually an instrumental by Aisha Duo. It was one of the sample songs that came on my computer.

What song is Helena in,that's one of my granddaughter's middle names.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Helena is the full title of two songs I have. One is a cover by a string quartet of the My Chemical Romance song. I've never heard the original so I have no idea what it's about. The other is by Nickel Creek, which you can listen to here, if you like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ug0Pnbbq0I I love that song and the name Helena!

I'm not named after the song, but I'm a Georgia so there are like 20 songs with my name. I'm not really named "after" anything, but my dad's a painter and likes Georgia O'Keefe.
