Unfortunately I remember it. One of those slightly unreal yet familiar
sounding 70s songs.

Well, the really obvious example is the Beatles' "Bungalow Bill." Or
"Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?" by whoever you like.

There's...
Springsteen "Wild Billy's Circus Story"
Velvet Underground "Lonesome Cowboy Bill" AND "Ferryboat Bill"
The Who "Little Billy"
Beefheart "Bill's Corpse"
Tiny Tim "Bill the Buffalo"

I could name about 20 others, but they would be hopelessly off-topic to
the newsgroup.

I don't think anyone's mentioned:

The Ballad Of Billy The Kid - Billy Joel
Da Doo Ron Ron - Crystals (somebody told me that his name was Bill)


Is "Little Willy" by the Sweet a stretch?

Is "Little Willy" by the Sweet a stretch?

The Hollies - Hey Willy

but also The Day Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam Mcgee (1974) an ill advised
knock off of Long Cool Woman, which is a fun listen.

[G.T. Tyson]

Has anyone mentioned "Billy Don't Be A Hero" by Bo Donaldson & The
Heywoods?

In the lyrics:

I met him on a Monday and his name was Bill
I'm gonna name him Bill or George! Anything but Sue!

In the title:
Bill Lee - Warren Zevon
Ode to Billy Joe - Bobby Gentry

Lots of Billy the Kid songs: anonymous traditional, Woody Guthry, Marty
Robbins, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, Joe Ely and, again, Bobby Gentry...

Even *numbered* (and long forgotten, for most owners of the LP) Billy songs
on Dylan's Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid soundtrack: Main Title Theme (Billy),
Billy 1, Billy 4 and Billy 7.
