Songs about "Emily"

is there a reason you hate the name?

thinking on it, i don't really hate it at all, it's quite nice... just reminds me of someone quite unpleasant! names i really hate are sophie and sally... and i loathe dave... terribly dull...

I can't be sure, but I seem convinced that there is a late 80s or early 90s C86/tweepop song about Emily Dickenson somewhere.

Or maybe this is one of those things that I've managed to convince myself that because there *should* be such a song, that there is such a song.

Or was Emily Dickenson at Salvador Dali's Garden Party?

hate the name emily

There is also a Freedy Johnston song called "Emily."

Thanks guys - looking for an Emily song for my father daughter dance. Thanks for the ideas!

I was named after the song "Miss Emily's Picture" by John Conlee. But it's about heartbreak so I figured it wouldn't be the best to play at my wedding...yeah.

Love Song Requiem by Trading Yesterday

They are my favourite emily songs

KG - "Emilie, Would You Let Me Taste Your Mouth If I Record Your Band?"

Close enough.

Seems like this thread is missing the Johnny Mandel and Johnny Mercer composition "Emily," title song of the film The Americanization of Emily, played at every old school jazz guitar gig ever. Here is Tony Bennett version:

Someone must have done a survey of the most-often used girls name in a song.

"Emily" would be quite high up on the list, I'm sure.

Lil Wayne - A Milli

the fairways - emily
the darlings - emily

god, the fairways were so great, when will clay hips release anything?

I click on this thread and the first song I thought of was Miss Emily's Picture by Jon Conlee, but I see it was mention, such a sad song.
