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

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.

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.

44. "ROX-ANNE!" The Eddy Murphy movie version as he's sitting in |

Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 10:36 PM by Ilsa
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.

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...
