It's probably no coincidence that the vast majority of these songs use girl's names.

So I think we should make a concerted effort to think of more songs featuring guy's names.

Here's my contribution:

Jilted John - Jilted John
James Brown is Dead - LA Style
Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz
Ziggy Stardust - Bowie
Ebeneezer Goode - The Shamen
Muhammed Ali - Faithless
Dear John - Status Quo
Nelson Mandela - The Special A.K.A

But back on the girl's side...

Come on Eileen - Dexy's
Ballad of Chasey Lain - The Bloodhound Gang
Amazing Grace :whistle:
Barbie Girl - Aqua
Blue Jean - Bowie
Stella - Jam & Spoon

Please note, citation of a song here doesn't necessarily mean I like it, but I likely wouldn't know it otherwise. :wink:
