Songs Named After Women

[gabriel]

Yeah, it's Gabriel anyway, i.e. a man's name

Indeed.

This is called Gabryelle though

Yeah, it's Gabriel anyway, i.e. a man's name.

well it's kind of confusing as in one version it's "Gabriel" & another (the UK release I believe) it's "Gabrielle". I'd forgotten about the "he was an archangel of love" line tho. killer tune either way of course, probably the best fusion of US/UK garage ever.

also:

Jesus & Mary Chain - Taste of Cindy
Velvet Underground - Sister Ray, Candy Says, Sweet Jane
Eugene McDaniels - Susan Jane

This is the ultimate song about girls names.

Everything else just isn't trying, by comparison.

Unfortunately I can't find the original online - so this will have to do
