There are no songs named after a man (except "Mickey")

There are tons of songs named after women--"Mandy," "Julia," "Angie" (x 2), "Martha My Dear," "Dear Prudence," etc. There's only one song named after a man--"Mickey (You're so Fine)," and it's really more a cheerleading cheer than a song. Are men more romantic? Do women view men as interchangeable ("it's guys like you Mickey...")? Or is naming somebody in song a silly male thing to do?

It's funny, both "Mickey" and "Denis" are reworkings of songs originally about women ("Kitty" and "Denise" respectively).

― bad jode (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

All the songs above, strangely, are sung by guys to guys (I think).
Let me limit this to songs sung to a love interest. Then I think the theory holds.

First names only? That's cheating. Surely this is about if a song has a man's name, period. And there are thousands.

There are very few songs named after hedgehogs.

Doesn't "Jude" refer to Julian Lennon, who was kid back then? Not exactly a "man".

how is first names only cheating? it makes it harder! i assumed this was specifically about songs where the title is JUST a male first name

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

The point is, the premise of this thread was so loopy and disastrously wrong that this should have been recognised! 'There are no songs named after a man'... apart from the 2,338 songs that were, anyway.

(I made that number up. It's very conservative.)

― ChrissieH (chrissie1068), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Has anyone said "Jeremy" yet ?

― Fuzzy (Fuzzy), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Beautiful John was by Madder Rose, about ten years ago I think.

"Hey Matthew" by Karel Fialka. If there was a song about Mark you could have "Hey Matthew" "________ Mark" "Luka" and "Beautiful John".

― Jonnie, Monday, 24 November 2003 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

― enrique (Enrique), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

thanks Jonnie

there aren't that many songs that just have a male first name as the title - i'm guessing about 28 rather than 2338 - there are surely more with just a female first name

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah but there are absolutley no songs about my real name, none, can't find them, tried, failed. Sux.

― smee (smee), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

There was, but the Mark in question was a hedgehog. A pre-pubescent hedgehog, no less. So it doesn't count.

― ChrissieH (chrissie1068), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, obviously, men are constantly mooning over some specific slapper with large breasts. Women are more apt to moon over some nameless (i.e. non-existent) fantasy figure rather than that ugly monkey next door with bad armpits.

― ChrissieH (chrissie1068), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

"Ben" you fules!

(I mean, it is a manly name, even though it's about a rat...that counts, right?)

I doubt a rat counts if poor ickle Julian and his non-descended balls don't. See: named AFTER a man. A song about a woman named Humphrey doesn't count, either.

Why am I taking this seriously?

― ChrissieH (chrissie1068), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

'why am i taking crack' you mean (sorry i am just a bit confused by your posts)

x-post actually Chrissie I think you're really on to something. I think your "women with fantasy being as muse vs. men with specific large-jubblied woman as muse" theory sounds quite OTM.

Yeah, my post about the male vs. female fantasy thing was broadly a serious point. I believe more women than men would fantasise about ideals and not need to put a name to it... the guys are just thinking about them jugs.

― ChrissieH (chrissie1068), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Interesting note: most of the songs with men's names in the title also happen to be songs written by/performed by men.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 November 2003 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

The thing is, I know of plenty of female songwriters who have written songs about specific men. Ani DiFranco, fr'instance, has written a whole bunch of songs about the same man, yet none of them are called "Andy" (the guy/her [now ex-]husband's name).

When Bowie wrote Lady Stardust (a song about though not named after a man), I kinda imagine his thoughts drifted towards the cock area once or twice. Yes.

Or is naming somebody in song a silly male thing to do?

I think it's related to the fact that you never see a woman standing underneath a guy's window with a guitar - or who is supposed to be wooing whom.

― o. nate (onate), Monday, 24 November 2003 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

"Jesse" -- Carly Simon
"Angry Johnny" -- Poe (and, for that matter, "Trigger Happy Jack" -- Poe)
"Joey" -- Concrete Blonde

But yeah, the central point holds. I think it has something to do with the possessiveness implied by intimate use of the first name; guys can get away with that and still seem loving (rather than obsessive/pathetic) for assorted psycho-cultural reasons, but it's riskier territory for women. Women aren't supposed to seem possessive, it spooks guys. Or something like that.
