Song titles that mention girls by name

1. “Roxanne”
2. “Brandy”
3. “Rosalita”
4. “Joanna”
5. “Roni”
6. “Delilah”
7. “Cecilia”
8. “Michelle”
9. “Aura Lee”

Best known now as providing the tune for _Love Me Tender_; at the time there were probably fewer giggles in high school for a girl named Aura Lee, though her twin sister Ayna Lee may have gotten an occasional titter.
