Ok, so I was going through my Ramones stuff and I notice how many "she" names they wrote songs with. Here are some:
RAMONA
SHEENA is a Punk Rocker
SUZY is a Headbanger
JUDY is a Punk
* Makes me wonder who those punk grrrls are in their lives...
Other songs from "The Smiths" which I could remember right now:
Sheila takes a Bow
Shakespeare's Sister
William, it was really Nothing
I'm sure there are a lot more, but I'll give you guys a good chance to make use of your coconuts too... [:p]

I dated a girl named Brenda for a while. When I sang the chorus of Captain Sensible's "Brenda" to her one day, she broke up with me. My mom says that it was Brenda's loss, so I guess I'm ok with it.

That's why I always find it easier just to write new songs for women. I know it's probably conceited, but I can write better lyrics than 95% of the hacks out there anyway. Especially if they're named Amanda or Sara.
