My name is also the title of one of the most popular songs of the sixties (in Germany and Italy). When I was a child I heard this song thousands of times and almost everyone knew the song and started to sing the refrain when they heard my name. Although the lyrics are flattering it was very embarrassing when I was a little girl .

Steve, have you ever been to Germany? Sometimes I don't know whether you are kidding or not ? Is the song known in the US too? |
Uh, well, er, Ive been to Germany in my mind, in spirit. As you know, Ich bin ein Berliner . As for the song it was famous in many courtries and a version of it was sung by Dean Martin here in the US. And now of course the real Marina, you , are famous in the US too, thanks to the internet.
