Y ME, LORD
Friends, if you Xpected an X post after my W post, U haven’t been paying attention, because as I’ve previously Xplained, X is out. Even X post facto, there is no X factor here. Y? There are no old songs with girls named X in the title, that’s Y. That’s Y U C Y here.
Now that we got that straightened out, a word to the Ys: even if I were a Ys man (or a Ys guy, for that matter), I am not Ys enough to know more than one or two Y girl songs. So let’s start with that, and then, if necessary, I’ll pray for God’s help to find another Y song.
Sorry I asked, Lord. I could have done without that last one.

Nicely written 🙂 I was thinking there’s Xanadu – but not a girl’s name!

Thanks. I thought of Xanadu too, but the movie and song of that name came out in 1980, so it doesn’t qualify as an oldie (by my criteria) even if it were a girl’s name. Nice song, though.

I think Yolanda’s Blues is the cream of the crop but Fred Astaire does a pretty good job. I think or read somewhere that Song writers really liked and wanted Fred Astaire to sing their songs. At first that sounded strange to me as he doesn’t have a strong voice but then I could hear how he pays such careful attention to the lyrics that it made sense.
I got something for Z that does not fit the criteria so I’ll save it for the comments.

Don, you’re right about Fred Astaire — he didn’t have a strong voice, but he knew how to sing, and songwriters knew he would sing their songs the way they wanted them sung.
Re Z, I also have a song in mind that, literally speaking, doesn’t meet the criteria (not because it’s not an oldie). It’ll be interesting to see if we’re talking about the same song.

Nice song. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it before.

Couldn’t think of anything besides the theme from Xena, the Warrior Princess myself, Sr. Muse, and I’ve already posted that for your review. Can’t say as I really blame you for not including it.
