Let's make an A to Z list of names mentioned in song lyrics

Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all

Tramp!
What you call me?
Tramp.
You didn’t!
You don’t wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats.
Well I tell you one dog-gone thing. It makes me feel good to know one thing. I know I’m a lover.
Matter of opinion.
That’s all right, Mama was. Papa too. And I’m the only child. Lovin’ is all I know to do.
You know what, Otis?
What?
You’re country.
That’s all right

-Tramp, Otis Redding

Chris De Burgh, “Patricia the Stripper”

I never wanted to be in Quasimodo’s Dream

The Reels

Whether you’d prefer a first name or a last one, I give you “Rumble”:

[QUOTE=You Am I]

R! A! D-I-O!
Hit me just like Lionel Rose.
R! A! D-I-O!
Rumble in the old machine
Rumble in the old machine
Rumble in the old machine
Rumble in the old machine
Ronnie James D-I-O!

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her?

Fleetwood Mac “Rhiannon”

It’s you… And me forever
Sara Smile

– Hall and Oates

Hang your head, **Tom **Dooley,
Hang your head and cry;
You killed poor Laurie Foster,
And you know you’re bound to die.

I want a girl with toes like Uma Thurman and body like suicide doors on a Mack truck

Suicide Uma, performed by the immortal (and probably immoral) P.o.s.

Long ago life was clean
Sex was bad and obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen

The Kinks, Victoria

I’m kinda fonda Wanda
'Cause Wanda always wanna, wanna, wanna…

Flying high in a chariot of fire The hand of Zeus guides my way

Hands Of Zeus by Skull View, natch!
ETA: Oh dear, I missed X…nevermind, we’ll get it next time, eh?

Wuss.

[QUOTE=Olivia Newton John and ELO]

A place
That nobody dared to go
A love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Donovan]

I’m just mad about Fourteen
And Fourteen’s mad about me.
Yes, I’m just mad about Fourteen
And she’s just mad about me.

They call me Mellow Yellow
(Quite rightly)

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

  • Waylon Jennings

That’s why if you please, I am on my bended knees
Bertha don’t you come around here anymore.

Charlie don’t surf and we think he should

Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna

–Donna, Donna vy Joan Baez

Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me

Anti-Elvis got no Elvis in 'em,
lemme tell ya.

Michael J.** Fox** has no Elvis in him.

Mojo Nixon’s Elvis is Everywhere. I could not pass up the chance to use this one after the above post.

Gary don’t need his eyes to see.
Gary and his eyes have parted company
