THE CURSE OF YOUR NAME

Alexa of NY Hotties [NC17] brings up an interesting topic:

X and I have been dating casually for a while now. Unfortunately, my attempt at distraction didnÂ’t work. He soon began to sing:

“Well I’m on the Downeaster Alexa
And IÂ’m cruising through la la la la
I have charted la la la la la la—”

Okay. ItÂ’s bad enough sharing a name with a mediocre Billy Joel song. What sucks even more is no one actually knows the words to said mediocre song past the title line.

Me, I'm lucky. No songs about Harvey.

But people DO mention Harvey the Rabbit.

And Paul Harvey.

And the drink Harvey Wallbanger (had one once - didn't like it).

So all in all, not TOO terribly bad.

How about YOU?

1 I don't know any Ogre songs. No one really talks about Ogres much, I'm not exactly sure why...

2 Unless its Cannibal Corpses I know of no BloodSpite songs either. However as far as my real name if I hear one more really bad rendition of Steve Azar I'll puke

4 I am cursed with that which I was named for. Those Debbie Reynolds movies - Tammy and the..... And there's that song "Tammy's in Love". If you only knew how many times I've had that sung to me............

5 .. don't know any 'Eric' songs either.... which kinda sucks...

6 I get "Susie Q" mostly. There's also the occasional "Wake up Little Susie" and the infrequent "If you knew Susie." Alexa's lucky!

7 The only thing I get is the "Mother Teresa" line... no songs though - guess I should be thankful for small favors.

8 Eric, there is a Monty Python song called "Eric the Half-A-Bee". That should satisfy :-P

10 My Great Grandmother was a Nixon supporting Republican, my grandfather, her son-in-law was a dyed in the wool Democrat(the old timey ones that used to really care about people, like Zell Millar). Anyway when my mother decided to name me Patrica, my great grandmother opened her big mouth and said "Let's call her Tricia, after Richard Nixon's daughter" I was promptly dubbed PATTY. This being the cruelest name in the universe, has not only insulting variations of the word "patty" ie, hamburger patty, fatty patty, patty cake and peppermint patty, but also has a Country and Western song which refrains with "Yippee I-A, COW PATTY!!!" which my evil redneck stepfather sang to me mercilessly during my teen years. I hate rednecks to this day...and I hate the name Patty.

12 There are no songs about Oddybobos but . . . my alter ego, has a song about gettin hitched! And Ricky Nelson sings it in one of my favorite John Wayne movies!

13 Not a whole lot of songs but I had my own cross to bear. Bein' robbed to pay Paul was just the beginning.

14 Peter - I'm sure you also had pretty much the same problems as my brother Richard... AND the Vice President :-)

15 .. thanks, Alex.. heh... I had forgotten about that one!...

17 Try having to deal with "Johnny Angel"....

18 No songs about Boudicca that I know of; however, my alter ego has one. I got serenaded in a bar by a couple Naval Aviators, once to the song with my name. They were very very drunk and very very loud.. Ahhh, good times.

19 What about "Harvey the Wonder Hamster"?

Posted by: Contagion at March 27, 2006 06:15 PM (e8b4J)

20 Contagion - yeah, a little of that, too :-)

Posted by: Harvey at March 27, 2006 08:38 PM (L7a63)

21 Ya, I'm named after the Beatles song and the only line anybody knows is: Mechelle my belle and they sing that one line over and over and over again annoying

22 Luckily no songs about Irish...but lots of talk about Irish potatoes, Irish Spring (still hate that soap), and so forth.
