I have always regarded Jude as Judy.
Simon Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear.
The Postman Pat theme (although Pat is usually a female abbreviation).
How many songs that have boys' names are sung by females?I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

Re: Songs with boys names
Excellent one, Richard - one assumes that Elton sung about someone with a boy's name because of his, shall we say, sexuality? (and I assume that this was certainly the case back in 1973?)Originally posted by Richard1978 View Post
Mind you, I found it ironic when he realised "Kiss the Bride" when one thinks of the fact that he was front of the queue when same-sex marriages were legalised in 2014!
There was that disco song Fly Robin Fly, although I think they were singing about the bird in general rather than someone called Robin.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

I was just looking at an old thread just now, and it mentioned that Dionne Warwick song Message to Michael (one assumes Message to Martha with a male name). I think it was a Bacharach composition.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

Re: Songs with boys names
Some more I have thought of:
Olivia Newton-John sung a song called Sam in 1977 - one assumes it was a Samuel and not a Samantha. Keith "Grocer Jack" West also had a song called Sam although I believe that it was a different song to ONJ's.
Martha Reeves and the Vandellas had a song called Jimmy Mack.
The Undertones also had song with that name - Jimmy, Jimmy.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
