Please post songs that contain the word "Gloria." I am mainly looking for
it as a name, but latin is also ok.

I know of 3 different songs called "Gloria", by Van Morrison, U2,
and Laura Brannigan.

G-L-O-R-I-A is one of them that I am looking for. If anyone knows who
sings it, please let me know.
Thanks

The Doors did "Gloria", but it's a remake of someone else's song.

There is a coverversion of Van Morrison's Gloria by Santa Esmerada.

There are 2 versions that I know of: the original, great, fantastic,
absolutely perfect version by Van Morrison, and a crappy, lame
cover by The Doors. They (The Doors) missed the entire point of the
song by _leaving_out_ the G-L-O R-I-A part (if you can believe it...).
Instead, Jim Morrison (no relation, I'm sure...) comes off sounding
like a heavy-breathing pervert.
My unbiased opinion,

Theres "Gloria" by Them with Van Morrison which was remade by Patti Smith
(and some other people too) as well as Laura Branigan's 80's tune
"Gloria" which was not a remake of the Van Morrison song. There was also
Bruce Springsteen's "Gloria's Eyes" from "Human Touch."

The doors version has significantly different "lyrics" by the way.

In Jim's defense, this gem was released posthumously, its supposedly
made from a jam session or a concert recording or some such.
( and its not that bad if you imagine its a new song rather than a cover :-)

U2 has a song called "Gloria". It used to play frequently on
MTV in its infancy. I hadn't heard it since then until it came on
the radio recently.

The Patty Smith Group did a song called "Gloria", partly based on Van
Morrison's song but with a lot of original material. ("Jesus died for
somebody's sins, but not mine.")

G-L-O-R-I-A (correct title is Gloria) was done by many groups. I have a
version done by Them with Van Morrison as the lead singer.

This was the original; Van Morrison wrote the tune. However, the
better-known, hit version in the U.S. was by The Shadows Of Knight.

"Gloria", a bubblegum love song with a 50's sound
covered by Manhattan Transfer. It's on their first greatest
hits album.

"Gloria....Gloria....it's not Marie..."

I can't tell from the direction the thread is going, but if you are
looking for songs which mention Gloria (as opposed to songs titled
GLORIA), The Nails song, 88 LINES ABOUT 44 WOMEN, has a line:

"Gloria, the last taboo was shattered by her tongue one night..."

Pulp's "Disco 2000" uses the basic riff from the Branigan song.

Two that come to mind are
"Gloria" by ?Bonnie Tyler?
"...but you really don't remember,
was it something that he said?
All those voices in your head
calling Gloria..."

and, of course, G L O R I A, but I have no clue who did it.

I believe that this one was by Laura Brannigan...
