I just realized that my name, Melody, is used in many songs but not as a woman’s name. Can anyone inform of a song that uses the name Melody?
What about the song “Melody” by the Stones? I always thought they were referring to the name and not the musical term.
*Came home one morning about quarter to three
I’m banging on my door cause I just lost my key
Open up, baby, you got someone else inside
I’m going to come get you dead or alive
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name *
Sadly, no, no joke – merely a brain fart. I have tried to detect cover versions and find the original artist or writer, but a few are bound to slip through. I’m not John Peel, y’know. 
And Thudlow Boink, you’ll be pleased to know that my name is indeed on the list (as of yesterday), so I feel totally validated now… 
I’ve got an updated list, with all your additions, ready to post, but I think I’ll hold off until later this evening or even early tomorrow, if only because it’s so damned long it’ll gobble up most of the downloaded thread page (#7, now), and I don’t want to be accused of padding the thread length. As it is, I can’t even post the whole thing in one post… But that is, as Martha Stewart would smugly intone, “a good thing”.
More later…
