What ruins things worse than a song ruins a woman's name? A Slideshow. A Slideshow ruins everything.

It would have had to improve to be pretty bad.

I'm too lazy to click on a slideshow, so I'll just assume "Rosie" is on the list.

/Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six
//You could say she's got it all!

Well, it could be some woman named Mandy....or some man named Andy...

For the common names, I don't think anything is ruining... i.e. "Kim", most people don't think of the Eminem song.

But, for not as common names, yeah, first thing people think of if your name is "Sharona".....

I met a broad once named "Shandi", after a Kiss power ballad from 1980.

Either her parents were Australian, or some really devoted members of the Kiss Army.

I'm old enough to have been in junior high when Mandy came out and IIRC people weren't all that freaked out about it then - nobody knew him, it was his first hit and the cool kids hadn't yet deemed Barry Manilow forever uncool.  Then a short time later, KISS came out with "Beth" which is equally as wimpy a song, piano ballad with strings and all, but they mostly got a pass.  Maybe Barry should have worn clown makeup and kitty whiskers and platform shoes.  Maybe he does, I haven't seen him in a while.  And no, computer, I'm not going to add "Manilow" to spell check.

GAT_00: Seriously?  You put Jamie on there and you go with farking Weezer?  Oooh, she made the whiny biatch sad.  Jamie shot her dad because he wouldn't stop raping her.

That was Janie, not Jamie.

Although Van Halen had Jamie crying for some reason... probably when she found out David Lee Roth had hairplugs.

Well I'll be damned.  I never heard an n there.  It's still a list fail to leave it off.

Indeed it is. That was a hit song in 89/90. And if anything's a name ruiner, it's being associated with a girl who shoots her incest lovin rapist daddy.

/well, as much of a "name ruiner" as any of these songs are.
//Also, the Van Halen song may also have been Janie. But I don't think Van Halen's Janie was crying because her Daddy was an incest-loving rapist.
///Beth should have been on the list, too. I mean, listen to the lyrics... Beth was a nag who wouldn't leave her old man alone to do his job.

Brandy. You're a fine girl.

Agreed.  It came to mind for me.  As did Beth and Layla, neither of which are on this failure of a list.

...And Darling Nikki Prince or the Foo's

how about the Foo's just cause
(NSFW lyrics, btw)

Beth, I hear you ballin but I can't get in the door,
You changed the locks again, you miserable farking whore.
I'll wait a few more hours for the guy that you just blew
And I swear I'll tell him all about the coont you turned into.
The coont you turned intoooooooooo.

/I once knew a girl named Beth.

I don't know what country you're in, but it isn't America, because I can't watch that.

Pretty sure that was regular old you tube there...
But you're right... America's hat for the win!

Navin Johnson: How could this not include "Amie" by Pure Prarie League?

Because I'm pretty sure they are the only ones that ever spelled it like that.

MagSeven, meet Google. Google... MagSeven.

1st page. A link to the video and then links that are people NOT named Amie. Now try it with "Amy" or even "Aimee". See?

The only name Spears ruined was "Britney."

Allison, absolutely.

And Veronica...I've got a relative that is about to die within the next few days from Alzheimer's.  Second relative I've seen go this way. I can't watch that video without choking up, and I can't ever turn it off.

I would just like to say that before that song came out, I was always "Lady Di." In the 5th grade, Dirty Diana came out and for about 5 years, it was inescapable. I farking hate that song so much. It's not even that great of a song!
