Paloma Faith introduces our final selection of songs about ladies whose name begins with P, giving me an excuse to play another tune we used to perform in my brass band days...
George Baker Selection - Paloma Blanca
No, we weren't going with the Jonathan King version.
Before we go any further, I will admit that I couldn't find any songs addressed to Prunella... but I did find a band named after everyone's favourite Sybil...
These guys were obvious contenders for the weekend's countdown, but I struggled to come up with another clue for them, beyond ones I've used before...
Scritti Politti - Oh Patti (Don't Feel Sorry For Loverboy)
Meanwhile, here's an old Namesakes favourite...
The Cortinas - Phoebe's Flower Shop
There are some girls named after the capital of France... which led me to think of this...
Although this might have been more appropriate...
Morrissey - I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
Here are some more I didn't have room for...
I fear that would have given away the link too obviously.
Miranda was bumped at the last second for Annie Lennox.
...or I might even have gone with this...
Don't judge me. That's one of their better offerings. If The Verve had recorded that song (and I can hear Richard Ashcroft singing it), we'd be calling it a classic. Much as I dislike Gary Barlow, he can write the odd decent pop tune.
The Flaming Groovies - Blues From Phyllis
And a couple of favourites to finish with...
