Songs featuring a named couple

Just because, I started thinking about songs that feature a couple where both people are named. But both members of the couple have to have names stated in the lyrics, not implied that one is the singer. In other words, Me and Bobby McGee does not count.

My offerings to get this rolling:
Jack and Diane by John Cougar Melloncamp features Jack & Diane (duh)
Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi features Tommy & Gina
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel features Brenda & Eddie

What else ya got?

Key Largo (“we had it all, just like Bogie and Bacall”). Unless you’re not counting mentions of real-life couples?

Hey, Paula, by Paul and Paula

Copacabana - Lola and Tony.

Frankie and Johnny, of course.

“There’s a hole in the bucket”, with Liza and Henry.

Minnie and Santa - Cyndi Lauper

Hmmm, if couples named in a “dialogue” song count (i.e., a duet where each singer mentions the other by name rather than both members of the couple being named by a narrator who isn’t either of them), then there are parody versions of “Daisy Bell” (aka “Daisy, Daisy” and “Bicycle Built for Two”) that qualify, because they include a verse with Daisy addressing her suitor Michael.

Tom Lehrer’s “I Got It from Agnes” probably holds the record when it comes to couples-naming. :smiley:

Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks - Terry and Julie
Judy Is A Punk and The Return of Jackie and Judy from The Ramones both feature Jackie and Judy
Do Joan and Maxwell Edison (Maxwell’s Silver Hammer) count?

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da: Desmond & Molly

Another example of this would be Weird Al’s Ricky (Ricky & Lucy Ricardo, from I Love Lucy)

Reuben and Cherise, Jerry Garcia.

As the OP, I’ll allow it. My only stipulation is that both names are mentioned in the lyrics, and the singer can be one of the couple or the narrator, or both in the case of Taxi by Harry Chapin

“She said how are you Harry?
I said how are you Sue?
Through the too many miles
and too little smiles
I still, remember you”

“You Can Call Me Al” with Betty and Al.

Both names are there, so it fits!
But I wonder how many Romeo & Juliet, Adam & Eve or other famous references we will end up with.

Revisited in Bob Geldof’s song “Love Like a Rocket” (“Terry still meets Julie every Friday night down at Waterloo underground”).

“…Romeo & Juliet, Samson & Delilah…” - Bad Manners

The Ballad (Denny & Jean) by Todd Rundgren, which remains, to this day, the saddest song I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s odd, because the lyrics are so totally simplistic, they’re like sixth-grade level poetry, but Todd sings them with such authority and finality. The chords contribute to it too. Billy Joel, with all his detailed world-building and stage-setting in Italian Restaurant, still can’t make Brenda and Eddie anything more than an abstraction in comparison to Todd’s doomed couple.

Lotsa Mary & Joseph too, e.g., in the Cherry Tree Carol.

On a rather different theme, there’s Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue. (Are there bonus points for having the couple’s names right in the song title? :slight_smile: )

Trisha Yearwood’s She’s in Love with the Boy features Katie and Tommy.

I don’t suppose Jake Owen’s I Was Jack (You Were Diane) really counts? :slight_smile:
