"Marie Provost"- Nick Lowe
If only for the line "She was a winner/that became a doggie's dinner"

Awesome song!!

But the truth between the humor is pretty damn sad.

There's also a "Gabrielle" by Paul Roland (great psych-folk) and a disco-ish "Gabrielle" by the first band that the Pogue's Shane MacGowan recorded with, the Nipple Erectors.

I love "Gabrielle" By Paul Roland and this Nipple Erectors sounds very interesting, have to give it a listen.

The first two that popped into my mind were from The New Pornographers ("The Jessica Numbers" and "Jackie Dressed in Cobras"), but "Eleanor Rigby" was third, and IMO the best "name" song ever. I would venture to say for the "best" anything song, one must always first look into The Beatles' catalog.
