most used female name in song lyrics


Recommended Posts

I don't know about 'most used' but Donovan (aka The Pied Piper Of Peace) has to hold the record for most songs with a woman's name in the title. Let's see - Guinevere, Lalena, Jennifer, Susan, Clara, Celia, Maria...hell, that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others.

It has to be "Mary".

And probably by a wide margin.

That was exactly what I was going to say, especially if you include variations on it including Maria, Marie, etc.

I would love to do a radio show on that theme, must Mary songs.

For sure, and that's not even counting all the Mary Jane references in lyrics. Springsteen alone has probably used that name a dozen or so times in his lyrics.

 

Runner-up might go to Sally.
