There is a Joey in "4th of July, Asbury Park" by Springsteen, they are mentioned as running the tilt-a-whirl

He has a Dirty Annie in "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)"

Those are probably not good examples.

What about Annie are you OK? Are you OK Annie?
There is a French song Joey by Noir Desir.
Eta: there's also a James Blunt song I think is called Annie. Btw you totally got that Concrete Blond song in my head!

go figure, that is not the first time I'm mis-understood Stipe's lyrics I'm seriously cracking up at myself

I love how many songs have been mentioned that I don't know. I am going to have fun in youtube land after the children go to sleep tonight!

Thanks for all of the suggestions, keep 'em coming if you can think of any more.

dude! VBACtivist you are so awesome! How on Earth did you do that?!?

Yes, it's for a couple I know. They are actually already married, but the other morning I heard both the REM song about Andy and Concrete Blonde's Joey and got the idea that for x-mas I'd make them a CD of really cool tunes with their names in them... you see with names like ours we can't exactly do that in our household I would actually have both a Beetles and a Pink Floyd song though FORGET our children!

I don't think John Denver's "Annie's Song" mentions the name Annie in the lyrics, if that's important. Pretty song, though...

Oh my goodness, I am mortified. I always heard (and probably sang) the lyrics to The Weight as, "take a load off FANNY".
