It's probably just that I don't listen to basically ANY new music, but does it seem like there are very few songs anymore that are dedicated to someone by virtue of their name being prominently written in to the song?  Here are merely a few of those that I know were fairly well played on the radio...




I love that that video has Rebecca De Mornay acting like a fool. So corny.

Also this...

"Gina" by Blues Traveler.

This song I played quite a bit in my youth, as I had a crush on a girl in my school named Penny...

I just listened to Sara the other day on YouTube. Talk about a song time forgot. You never hear it anywhere. I forgot it existed.

"Hey Jude" by The Beatles.

I had heard it on the 80's on 8 on SiriusXM. That's what reminded of it.

Whoa, now that you mention it I can't think of one. I'm sure if I looked it up there would be something. My favorite is Rod Stewart's Mandy though...

I remember hearing Sara while riding on the bus to a field trip in elementary school while reading a comic Heroes for Hope X-men and turning around to mouth the lyrics to Sarah the girl sitting behind me.

I second Billy Jean by Michael Jackson and Penny Lover by Lionel Richie.
