[Cecilia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5_QV97eYqM) - Simon & Garfunkel > [@Amateur\_Barbarian](#): > > Brandy. Just beaten on Ahhhhnngie. An unenlightened person may say, “duh…that song is actually called ‘Brandy You’re a Fine Girl!’ What kind of fool doesn’t know that? Ha ha ha!” But NOOOO! There actually is a song with the one-word title “[Brandy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-zhg1BeUkQ)” And for a bonus song that fits the OP’s rule, “Brandy” was remade by Barry Manilow, but he changed the name to “[Mandy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoGcH2L68Mg)” in order to avoid confusion with “Brandy You’re a Fine Girl”! ---
