[QUOTE=The Scrivener] Amazingly enough, I still haven’t found a song title with my own name in it, but here’s the list, with your contributions added: **Anna** – covered by The Beatles (Alexander) **Anna** ’s Song – Marvin Gaye **Anna-Lisa** – Prozzak **Annie** – Elastica **Annie** Get Your Gun – Squeeze **Annie** ’s Gone – Redd Kross Yeah,me neither! All these and still not quite it. There’s also **Ann** by the Stooges which is close. But for some reason Iggy can’t spell “Anne” properly. I feel slighted ☹ ---

Oh my. **Baba O’Reilly** isn’t about a woman, nor is it a woman’s name. The title comes from Meher Baba, who was Pete Townshend’s spiritual guru (and a guy.) **Winona’s** Big Brown Beaver was by Primus, (as already noted) not Skid Roper and & Mojo Nixon. They did do, however, Stuffin’ **Martha’s** Muffin.
