I don't think there's any question when it comes to songs named after girls named Mandy. If anyone can think of a more famous song of that title, e-mail me! I'd like to know what it is. Manilow is a little to adult-contemporary for my taste, but he's not bad. He has a good voice. He's just at little too...uh, easy listening. Anyway, the song is really a cover of a song called "Brandy" by a Scott English. To avoid confusion with Looking Glass's "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)," Manilow changed the name.
I remember a scene from Can't Hardly Wait where Preston (Ethan Emby) is trying to call a local radio station to talk with Manilow. He's in the studio answering callers' question. Preston has a question about this particular song, because the girl he's in love with is named Amanda (Jennifer Love Hewitt). Before he gets to even ask his entire question, the angel stripper (Jenna Elfman) that's waiting to use the phone hangs up his call. Of course, today he would have probably just used his cell phone, and this scene wouldn't exist.
