Yep. There you have it. Megan (who is amazingness squared) found a song that not only has my name in the lyrics, but also in the title. It is by Joni Mitchell and I have yet to listen to it, but the lyrics are as follows (emphasis added for comments following the lyrics):
Of the darkness in mens minds
What can you say
That wasnt marked by history
Or the t.v. news today
He gets away with murder
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
His grandpa loved an empire
His sister loved a thief
And Lindsey loved the ways of darkness
Beyond belief
Girls in chilly blouses
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
The cops dont seem to care
For derelicts or ladies of the night
They're weeds for yanking out of sight
If you're smart or rich or lucky
Maybe you'll beat the laws of man
But the inner laws of spirit
And the outer laws of nature
No man can
No--no man can
There lives a wolf in Lindsey
That raids and runs
Through the hills of hollywood
And the downtown slums
He gets away with murder
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
I'd like to make two points.
1. This song is about a MAN named Lindsey. Which doesn't surprise me in the least. Mostly because it's only been in the last five years or so that I've found my name in the girls section of baby naming books. It's a British thing I believe. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that part.
2. This man is a murderer. I'm not complaining, just saying that's not so flattering a topic as say, being the subject of an unrequited love song or a song about a quirky, yet fascinating and beautiful girl or even anything that wasn't about a nefarious man.
So I shall give 10 points to Megan, but I will revise my challenge. I bet you can't find a song about a GIRL named Lindsey.

hahahahaha. Whoops. Well, I'll try again and get back to you. ;)
I was going to say...this is a little dark for what I picture a song about you to be like.
i always knew this about you, lindsey, but now that there's a song i guess there's no point in hiding it anymore. i hope you don't mind.
everyone... lindsey is a werewolf. obviously she didn't want you to know, but the secret's out, and what're you gonna do?
also she's a man. but-- thanks to the late quote wall-- we did already know that.
