(They are two totally different songs, but I'll count them as only one entry<BR/><BR/>Rosalita--Bruce Springsteen<BR/><BR/>Michelle--The Beatles<BR/><BR/>Denise--Fountains of Wayne (can't believe this one hasn't been snapped up already, in fact had to go carefully through this blog multiple times to make sure it hadn't been)<BR/><BR/>Caroline Goodbye--Colin Blunstone<BR/><BR/>I Want to Help You, Ann--The Lyres<BR/><BR/>Sara--Bob Dylan<BR/><BR/>Nadine--Chuck Berry<BR/><BR/>Bernadette--The Four TopsTJWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312890704167853988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-1081557327881859662007-12-07T20:27:00.000-05:002007-12-07T20:27:00.000-05:00Candy-O - The CarsJudy - The dB'sIs that you MoDea...Candy-O - The Cars<BR/>Judy - The dB's<BR/>Is that you MoDean?
