The song game

A couple years ago I commented to the Missus about the number of pop songs that have girl's names in the title as compared to boy's names, probably twice as many or more.  We never figured that out but we did start writing down the titles of songs with a female name in it.  My rule is that it should be a song that a person has a reasonable chance of hearing it on the radio.  The Missus being the competitive sort that she is was willing to include any song title published since the Gutenberg bible was printed.  I protested, she slipped some in anyway.  So here in no order whatsoever are the songs that we have come up with.  If you can suggest more, we'll add them to the list!

  1. That is a lot of songs. How about "Mary Had a Little Lamb?" Really more of a rhyme, I suppose.

    What about the hymns like "Ave Maria" etc?
