List of songs whose title includes personal names
|
|
This page lists songs whose titles either are or contain people's names (as opposed to geographical names).
It is organized by the complete name within each title (e.g., all Georgia songs before Georgia Brown), with the name highlighted for clarity.
Songs with more than one name are listed in each name group.

Notes
- Order
- Songs are grouped by the exact personal name.
- The sorted name is in bold — surrounded by triple quotes (''') — to make it easier to group by name.
- If the same name occurs multiple times in the title, only the first is in bold.
- If a title contains multiple names, it should be listed once in each name group.
- Within each group of exact personal names, titles are sorted in alphanumeric order (digits first).
- Most old-school sorting rules apply, with one exception:
- Articles like "a", "an", and "the" (and their non-English equivalents) are not ignored when sorting.
- Case is ignored. ("van Halen" is the same as "Van Halen".)
- Spaces always precede numbers and letters. ("Is This" precedes "Isn't It".)
- Ignore punctuation. ("What's That" comes between "Whatever" and "Whattup".)
- Numbers are treated as text strings rather than mathematically. ("42" comes before "7".)
- For different songs with the same titles, repeat these guidelines to sort by artist name.
- Wikipedia links
- Artist links are recommended (since most artist pages exist already).
- For artist links, check the Wikipedia entry first, since some need to be disambiguated. (For instance, Nirvana should be entered as "[[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]".)
- Song titles links are not recommended except when a song article already exists or is being created immediately. (The link can always be added later.)
- Song links should refer to Wikipedia song entries, not pages about the person named in the song.
- For linked songs that contain bolded names, use Wiki markup as follows:
- "[[Bette Davis Eyes|'''Bette Davis''' Eyes]]" produces "Bette Davis Eyes".
- Artist links are recommended (since most artist pages exist already).
