Are there any names that make you want to burst into song?

[wickerwoman]

I know it's annoying as hell, so I have to restrain myself heavily around coworkers named Daisy or Mickey.

I don't even like the associated songs.

I get it sometimes myself thanks to Elvis Costello, may he burn in hell forever.

Are there any names you have to fight back from singing "their" songs?

[LeftyMom]

1. Oh god, my own name is a song I don't even like

Thankfully hardly anybody my age knows it, but it's still annoying when I do happen to hear it.

[wildhorses]

40. ROSANNA~Toto

All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see you eyes
Rosanna, rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, rosanna

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, rosanna
I didnt know you were looking for more than I could ever be

Not quite a year since she went away, rosanna yeah
Now shes gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, rosanna yeah

I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, rosanna
I didnt know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, rosanna

All I wanna tell you is now youll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, rosanna yeah

[wildhorses]

41. Amanda~Waylon Jennings

I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried,
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life,
To look in the mirror in total surprise.
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes.

Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.
Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.

It's a measure of people who don't understand,
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band.
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen,
Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans.

Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.
Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.

prison with headphones on, and Nick Nolte shows up for information.

One of my best friends is named Roxanne, and she cracks up when she hears the song.

[Drum]

45. I loved that!

Since seeing that movie, I think of the Eddie version whenever I hear the Police do it...

[cedahlia]

47. Maurice!

I used to work with a cool guy named Maurice, and every time I saw him I heard "Some people call me Maurice...oowah-oohwah!" in my head! I always wanted to say his name in the kind of way that the song does, but I never had the guts! I'm sure he's gotten that plenty of times, though...
