Early this morning we played Mike Doughty's "27 Jennifers" and it got us thinking - what songs with other numbers of Jennifers do you want to hear?

Just kidding.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break what songs do you want to hear with female names in the lyrics?

See if you can avoid these songs that we played yesterday that prominently feature female names:

The Beatles - Martha My Dear
Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress
John Prine - Dear Abby
Dessa - Dear Marie
Foo Fighters - Dear Rosemary
