Too Many Elenores

The Turtles' "Elenore" — also known as, I suppose, "Eleanor" — is vastly improved by interpreting the various mentions of Elenore as different girls with odd last names.

You’ve got a thing about you
I just can’t live without you
I really want you, Elenore Nearme

Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There’s no one like you, Elenore Really

{chorus:

Elenore Gee, I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy et cetera

Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better}

I really think you’re groovy
Let’s go out to a movie
What do you say now, Elenore Canwe?

They’ll turn the lights way down low
Maybe we won’t watch the show
I think I love you, Elenore Loveme

Elenore Gee, I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy etcetera

{chorus ad infinitum}

So that's Miss Elenore Nearme, Miss Elenore Really, Elenore Gee, Elenore Canwe and Elenore Loveme and a sixth Elenore lacking any last name.

I make my own fun. That's why.
