Inspired by the San Francisco Yelp thread.  What songs are named after you/mention your name?

Alas, I only have a creaky country song from the 1950s.

Rein in your pony closer;
I'll tell you my tale
Of Utah Carl, my partner,
And his last ride on the trail.

Maria - West Side Story - "Say it loud and there's music playing Say it soft and it's almost like praying."
Maria - Blondie - "Mariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia, You've gotta see heeeeeeeeeeeeer.  Go insane and out of your miiiiiiiiind."
Maria, Maria - Santana - "Se mira Maria on the corner, Thinking of ways to make it better, Then I looked up in the sky, Hoping of days of paradise."
Maria - Greenday - "She smashed the radio with the board of education, Turn up the static left of the state of the nation, Turn up the flame, step on the gas, Burning the flag at half mast, She's a rebel's forgotten son, An expert of the revolution"
Maria - ricky martin - She's the one that always turns me on, A sexy angel fallen from heaven, She's the one that always drives me wild, In her arms I'm trapped forever."

Apparently, there's a Maria song by Michael Jackson, and My Maria by Brooks and Dunn, and I am completely honored not to know any part of it.

"Sara, Sara / storms are brewing in your eyes / Sara, Sara / no time is a good time for goodbyes" - Starship/Jefferson Airplane "Sara"

"He said "Sara, you're the poet in my heart / Never change, never stop..." / But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for / But when you build your house, then call me home" - Fleetwood Mac "Sara"

"Sara, Sara / Whatever made you want to change your mind? / Sara, Sara / So easy to look at, so hard to define." - Bob Dylan "Sara"

"Sara spelled without an 'h' was getting bored / On a Peavey amp in 1984 / While Zak without a 'c' tried out some new guitars / Playing Sara-with-no-h's favorite song" - Ben Folds "Zak and Sara"

Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye

Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
