[Music] People's names which instantly trigger a song in your head

[METALMICKY]

And I mean instantly, without second thought.

I literally cannot mention - or even think of - friends named Nigel without the XTC song coming up on my internal jukebox (and, usually, singing it). It's a bizarre trigger.

It's a similar story with an old work colleague Jolene, who is well used to folk bursting into song in front of her.

But it's not the case with every name/song combo - I don't think of Elvis Costello when I'm with women named Alison, for example.

Anyone else make instant name/song connections?

Yes, can totally relate to the XTC one when there's a Nigel around.

Similarly when meeting any John I wish to enquire whether he has a new motor and whether he keeps tropical fish in his underpants!

Good call but ergh! Can we not have had the brilliant original? Nice link to other thread on NSC chat about male vocalists singing in high pitch.

Do you know any Roxannes though?

I very briefly had a thing with a girl called Lola.
She was not a showgirl, but my brain wouldn't let it go.

Oh - 100% this one.

There used to be a stunning girl called Elouise, who worked on the customer service desk of our local Waitrose ( [MENTION=22975]DavidinSouthampton[/MENTION] probably knows her!). This was immediately stuck in my head every time I went in there.

I know exactly who you mean……. Even though I no longer work there.

Great thread this by the way for someone like me who is guilty of doing this sort of thing with quite a few names! Making Plans For Nigel is also another one of mine. Along with this one too, unfortunately!:

I deal with a lot of names in my work, so I do see quite a few pop up that make me think of songs, many of which have been mentioned) but the two above also jump to my mind.
