Need your help with a song compilation!

[womanfish]

I am putting together a couple of CD's and need your help to come up with a ton of songs that I can sift through and pick out the ones I like the best.

Here are the criteria.

Disc one - only songs that contain a females name. (ie. Christina, Sweet Lorraine, Adia, etc...)

Disc two - only songs that contain colors. (ie. Yellow, Forever Blue, Orange Crush, Your Blue Room, etc...)

List all you can. I'm sure most of us have fairly similar tastes, so i trust you to list quality songs. (ie. NOT 'Sarah' by Jefferson Starship)

Thanks for your help in advance guys!

It's a cover of an Arthur Alexander song, I think. Speaking of the Beatles, though, anyone mention "Martha, My Dear"?

You guys are great! Thanks a lot. You've added a ton for me to consider. Coming up with a disc of 18 really strong songs should be pretty easy now. Keep em coming if you think of any more.

It's one of my favorite '80's songs!!!!
