Random Theme: Songs Named After Girls

Looking around for songs titled "Brandy", I came up with seventy songs. That's right: 70! This, by far, is probably one of the better ones and possibly the most famous. It's really the group's only hit. Their sound is described as "Jersey Shore" on Wikipedia. Isn't it funny how that phrase brought something completely different to mind then than it does now?

Kenny Chesney also released a pretty good cover of this. I'm going to post it below. As I understand it, it was a Target exclusive. You'd probably have a slightly difficult time finding it, legally anyway. This song was also influential in another way. Because it was to be released shortly after, a very familiar Barry Manilow tune that rhymes with "Brandy" would have shared that name had it not been for this song's success. To keep the two from getting confused, Manilow changed his song to "Mandy".
