Category: Name a 1955-1985, TOP 40 charting song that contains a full name within the title.

In the rules, I noted that I was going to be rather strict this time, allowing titles that had positively ascertainable first and last names, as referred in the lyrics. So, several creative answers, such as "Penny Lane," "Running Bear" and "Little Latin Lupe Lu" weren't accepted, as creative as they were. I always gave these submitters the opportunity to send in a second choice.

Three point responses: (Completely unique - no other players gave same answer)
