OT: Have we had a Female-in-the-song-title thread?

[Bigboote]

Another same title, different song:

 

[Bigboote]

Not a song, but one of the best-known Irish reels, rendered here by the Bothy Band:

Sweet Jane - Lou Reed

I'm partial to the Cowboy Junkies cover of it.



I think maybe Jane has overtaken Maria for the lead in this thread.

[MSGRET]

How about this one from Brooks and Dunn

[Uconnrick]

My favorite song evah........Maggie May by Rod Stewart.

 

[Scud49]

Can't believe we have forgot this one:

 

[Bigboote]

The tune of this song is very old. There was a legend that if you heard a girl singing it, you'd have good luck. The Irish lyrics are probably around 300 years old, the English only 200.

 

[Hope]

My favorite hairstyle for guys. And that look at 0:37, omg!

 

[bantamlaker]

I think most high schools probably had their own version of Abigail Beecher - mine certainly did

 

[Bama fan]

Good song , not well known to me. Interestingly the English name Jane, which has been trending in this thread, is the equivalent of the Irish Gaelic name Sinead . It means God is gracious. English speakers generally find that Irish names are difficult to pronounce. This one is shin aid .

AKA Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon. Had quite a few hits back then.

300 years ago , if an Irish girl had a cow to milk, she was damn lucky herself. And probably happy enough to sing about it.

This should be disqualified from this thread. I think we determined that Lola was not a female.

Ha, yeah those Irish names are a trip. Saoirse. Siobhan. The lead singer from the band Crooked Still is Aiofe O'Donovan.

I might've missed it, but I don't remember seeing this. Song got another life after being featured in one of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
