This week our host Jim Adams for Song Lyric Sunday has given us the prompt of “Songs that have a girls’ name in it and start with a S“.

Jim even gave us possible suggestions Stephanie, Sabrina, Sasha, Sharon, Shelby, Skylar, Simone, Stacey, Sylvia, Serena, Sonia, Shelia, Sheena, or anything else that fits.

Take some time to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this music challenge, and even better, read as many of them as you are able to as you will probably find many enjoyable songs and it is quite possibly that you will learn a thing or two.  Also feel free to offer up your suggestion to this week’s prompt.

Here are the “rules”:
• Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it contains the prompt words or not.  If it does not meet the criteria, then please explain why you chose this song.
• Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due.  Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be.
• Make sure you also credit the singer/band and if you desire you can provide a link to where you found the lyrics.
• Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song.
• Ping back to this post or place your link in the comments section below.
• Read at least one other person’s blog, so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process.
• Feel free to suggest future prompts.
• Have fun and enjoy the music.

For the first time participating in Song Lyric Sunday I did not have songs pop into my head that fit the weekly prompt. I have to confess I went to Google to acquire some possibilities. I stumbled across a song I never heard of before. It was titled “I Ain’t Sharing Sharon”. I loved the song when I listened to it because of the saxophone notes.

The song was written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. Shuman also wrote “Viva Las Vegas”. The version of “I Ain’t Sharing Sharon” I selected was by Bobby Darin and it appeared on his 1960 Album called “For Teenagers Only”. The album contains some great songs including “I Want You With Me” which was covered by Elvis Presley. The song has also been covered by Hank Williams Jr. and Jim Stafford.

Here are the lyrics to “I Ain’t Sharing Sharon”

Here is a YouTube clip of the song with audio only.

So for this week this is the song I am sharing.
