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 Annby the Stooges which is close. But for some reason Iggy can’t spell “Anne” properly.
I feel slighted 
Carrie-Anne — The Hollies
