After suggesting to Rick that he use Jenny (867-5309) for his Seven Of Nine song, I started hearing a few other songs with my name in it. Yes...I go by "Jenny" and "Jennifer" too. David calls me "Jen" as does my dad. My friends from high school call me "Jennifer", but other than that most everyone else, including Angela, calls me "Jenny". Soooo...any way, I began to wonder how many songs have my name in it. I only knew of three: the one I suggested to Rick, Whiskey In the Jar which is an Irish pub song that Metallica redid and Jenny Says by Cowboy Mouth.

I found a huge list of songs. Thought it would be fun if members posted their  'name songs' here too. I'm not sure how many people could actually do that but it would be a fun game we could add to over time.

Here's the list of "Jenny Songs" I've found and a few youtube clips.

I found a song called "Kasey's Song" by a singer named Autumn. It's kind of catchy... but I may be a little biased. :P

I don't think she's local. I can't find a lot of info on her, but I'm sure she has biography somewhere.

Found plenty for my name, "Daniel" being my actual name. That's probably to be expected, common name like mine.

Yeah, my name's more common with the people actually singing the song. And when I say "common," I mean "two"--Kasey Chambers and the ever popular KC and the Sunshine Band.

But when I hear Daniel, I think of Elton John.
