What the hell kind of name is Sharona?!

Being the proprietor of the 2nd most common female name in this country, it has come to my attention that there is not one sufficient song dedicated to my indentification. Not one. What do I have? I get a lousy tune by Hall & Oates. Layla gets a decent song by Eric Clapton. Jenny gets a decent song by Tommy Tutone. Jamie, Amy, and Eileen get decent songs by Weezer, the Get Up Kids, and Dexy's Midnight Runners. Who the hell is named Eileen? Fuck, even Miss Jackson gets a decent(ish) song by Outkast. And I get Hall & Oates! This is rediculous. If you're in a band, I urge you this: For the love of god! Write a song dedicated to those named Sara. We deserve it!

The following is a list, the lovely Miss Julie and I compiled, complete with songs containing just about every name ever imaginable... ALL BETTER THAN HALL & OATES.

"Peggy Sue" by Buddy Holly

"Sherry Baby" by the Four Seasons

"Hey Mickey" by B*Witched

"Letters to Elise" by the Cure

"Elegy for Elisabet" by the Weakerthans

"Michelle" by the Beatles

"My Sharona" by the Knack

"Mustang Sally" by Wilson Pickett

"Oh Yoko" by John Lennon

"Gloria" by the Doors

"Mrs. Brown" by Herman's Hermits

"Mrs. Robinson" by Simon & Garfunkel

"Mr. Jones" by the Counting Crows

"Diane" by the Hippos

"For Tammy Rae" by Bikini Kill

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles

"Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond

"Janie's Got a Gun" by Aerosmith

"Christalina" by MxPx

"Billy Jean" by Michael Jackson

"Runaround Sue" by Dion

"Mandy" by Barry Manilow

and of course "Mary Jane" by Tom Petty, Alanis Morrissette, & Tupac... among other artists

Okay, So the Aerosmith song doesn't beat Hall & Oates. It still sucks, none, the less.
