This thread is brought to you by the hit song, “Story of a Girl” which has been on heavy rotation on most kinds of rock stations these days, so the damned thing’s going through my head far too much of the time.
To compound the effect, one of our posters uses the handle ‘A girl’, so naturally, whenever I see her on a thread, guess what song gets stuck in my head. And it goes both ways now - when I hear the song, I wonder if our epynomous (sp?) poster ‘cried a river and drowned the whole world’, and so forth.
Biggirl, for me, brings to mind Frankie Valli’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry”. I don’t know if she does or not; I’ve never met her, though I’d like to.
We’ve got posters who took their screen names from songs, e.g. SmoothOperator (Sade), jane_says (Jane’s Addiction), ThisYearsGirl (Elvis Costello). In those cases, the connection is pretty obvious. There are probably more such posters, but I can’t think of them right now.
So, any other posters whose names are connected with songs in your mind, and what’s the connection? Are any posters themselves connected with songs for you, aside from their names, and why? (Let’s keep couples out of this; that’s a whole 'nother thing. I expect most of us have songs that remind us of our special someone.)
The Four Seasons and Donny Osmond did a song called “C’Mon, Marianne”. I know the lyrics by heart because people always sang it to me when Donny came out with his version.
“oh, here I am, on my knees again, I’ll do anything just to make it right. Say you understand, oh I know you can, c’mon Marianne…” Everybody join in!
Neuro-Trash Grrl always makes me think of Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie.
And that’s really the only one, but I’ll let you know if I run into any more.
