I have two words for you: Layla.[/b][/size] Oh wait that was only one word...  Anyway I'm sure there are so many others, but that's easily going to be my favorite... I think. Do songs with first names in the title count? Because if so, I'm adding Mary Jane's Last Dance[/b] and Yes, Anastasia[/b]. |

Initials B.B. -- Serge Gainsbourgh (the B.B. means Brigitte Bardot) I wanted to put it but I didn't. I find it's a masterpiece. I'm glad you know him. Who else knows him? I'd be curious to know how famous he is around the world. Aimee doesn't know him, I've already asked her. |

The very first thing that came to my mind is Vincent (Starry Starry Night) by Don McLean. But I think of it as another Tori song, because I first heard it at her Buffalo show in March '03. I just this song sooo much. Edit: Looks like I'm not that clever and unique after all  (Mary thought of it first) *teehee* |

And then my brain just kept exploding from there. Granted, I participated in a thread similar to this on another music board a year or so ago, so some of the songs were still easily in my mind from that. There are SO many good name songs. |
