Great idea Pascal. A very nice song and here is just another one for „Lisa“.

And why not also a song for Mona?
The female given name Mona has different origins and different meanings depending on the language. Thus, Mona in Arabic stands for “hope”, in Irish for “noble” and in Spanish for “cute” but also for “monkey”. In Old English, Mona stands for „moon.“
However, the name Mona is also a short form of German first names such as Simona, Monika or Ramona. Also in the famous portrait of Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, Mona stands for Madonna, so it is actually called Madonna Lisa. Oh, and Mona also exists in various cose forms, e.g. Moni or Mony:

Very nice Pascal
Please share more French folk music with us.
How is J.J. Goldman ?

Lita Ford’s “Lisa”? Interesting, and certainly do-able.
Billy Idol’s “Mony Mony”? Nah, our ladies are above that. But we will keep thinking.

Pascal, Jurgen nice Lisa songs.
Here is “Sad Lisa” by Cat Stevens which is in fact the song Lisa was named after.

Leave it to you to be a beacon of information…kudos!
When I learned that Lisa was the older sister, I was confused that she wasn’t named Mona. But this makes sense. Lisa was named first after the Cat Stevens song and Mona was named to put the MonaLisa touch to the two names.
Leave it to Papa Rudi, being the artist that he is, to do that!

For a song for Mona, I know of this one.

One more for Mona -
And why not a song for Mona Lisa ? 🙂
PS: Christopher, you’re right: M&L are way above the level of Billy Idol, but I wasn’t suggesting that Mona should marry the guy because he has such good table manners. I personally like the song even though it’s just a cover song. Billy Idol is a bully or rude guy but I like his music. And that’s what this is all about.
Jung, Cat Stevens song is beautiful and sad at the same time. And we already had the topic: often the slightly melancholic songs are often the best ones.

Jurgen:
It’s cool. Plus, we all have to admit that Billy Idol was a good guy in the movie, “The Wedding singer”. He really helped Adam Sandler out when he was trying to get to Drew Barrymore!

Great find Pascal. „Lisa Mona Lisa“ by an Austrian performer. Very nice. But he only got the 21st place at the Eureopean Song Contest in 1988. Well. Udo Jürgens sounded clearly better in 1966 with his title ” Merci Chérie” and rightly won the first place of the Eurovision Contest (Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson).
