Name that tune


Namecheck ... Laura by the Scissor
Sisters is good, but Dirty Diana
by Michael Jackson isn't allowed.

Thanks for last week's recommendations on the theme of autumn. This week I'd like your favourite songs named after women - not such an open-ended theme but one with no shortage of possibilities, from Donovan's Jennifer Juniper to Laura by the Scissor Sisters. The titles must be names alone, though: none of your Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, thank you very much, otherwise we'll be here for ever.

So to recap: Sally Cinnamon, yes; Sally Can't Dance, no. And while you're at it, feel free to comment on any of the playlists so far. I can take it.
