curiosity - Jilted John's song was actually just called Jilted John (still qualifies though). Lydia was "sung" by the God-awful Dean "Lucky Stars" Friedman.

How about the wonderfully cornily-titled You Can't Have Your Kate And Edith Too by The Statler Brothers?

A few personal favourites:

Rose by Eileen Rose, Evangeline by The Icicle Works, Joe's Kiss by Amsterdam, Mary's Place by Bruce Springsteen, Clare Island by The Saw Doctors (bit of a cheat as it's about a place, not a person, but hey), Be My Yoko Ono by Barenaked Ladies...that'll do for now.

What am I thinking? Can't forget the Half Man Half Biscuit classics F***ing Hell It's Fred Titmuss, I Hate Nerys Hughes (From The Heart), Bob Wilson Anchorman, and 99% Of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd - among others.
