%%* "Bianca" from ''Theatre/KissMeKate''.

* "Chloe (You're the One I Want" by Emblem3.

* "Brandy" - Looking Glass (She's a fine girl. [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVolII What a good wife she would be.]])

* "Sinéad" - Music/WithinTemptation. She is a SerialKillerKiller (and sung by a woman).

* Subverted in "Debra" - Beck. The song's lyrics begin to direct the song towards one girl ("oh girl, I only wanna be down with you") until it's revealed that Beck has a secondary interest: Debra, the girl's sister ("and your sister, I think her name is Debra"). The track is done in the vein of R. Kelly-like R&B ballads and seems to be one until the hilarious twist of Beck pining for a little more is made apparent.

* "Angeline" - Groove Coverage

* Music/TheBlasters' catalogue is full of these. "Kathleen," "Marie, Marie,"

* "Maria Maria" - Santana
* "Mary" - The Feelers
* "My Sharona" - The Knack (by the way, the woman named Sharona, who was on the single cover, is an ordinary woman who sells real estate in Southern California.)

* "Pamela" by JaakkoTeppo is about the character in TV series ''Series/{{Dallas}}'' and the narrator is a (moderately sane) LoonyFan who sings about his reasoning behind his choice of Pamela as his favourite lady. (Lucy is too "tiny" and Sue-Ellen too heavy a drinker for him.)

* Creator/PaulAndStorm have "K-R-I-S-T-I" about Kristi Lee of the Bob & Tom show, which is a song in the acrostic poem mold. The first I stands partially for "my eye, which you adorned with pepper spray", while T is for "tears I shed from love ... and pepper spray" while the other I is for "my other eye, which you also pepper sprayed."

* "Jenny" - Music/TheClick5

* "Hey There Delilah" - Plain White T's
