Ronnie is short for Veronica, not a guy's name, in case that part was confusing you.

Wow I had no idea. Pretty cool.
Now go listen to the Ronettes song. It's one of my favorite from the decade.

While we're on the subject, did she sang with Eddie Money or did he just re-use her chorus?
Well she sounds completely different in the Moneyman's song, so I'm going to guess she sang for the recording. I could be wrong, though.
Seems like re-recorded with Eddie. Reading about Ronnie's life will take you down another rabbit hole into the freak show called Phil Spector.
I'm more of a fan of "I Wanna to Go Back" and "Shakin'", myself.
I'm a "Two Tickets to Paradise" man myself, but that chorus loops so easily.
While we're talking about Eddie Money. Something has always bothered me, not about Eddie Money, but about Cher.
Eddie has a song called "If I could Walk on Water", and a few years later, Cher did a song called "If I Could Turn Back Time", which IMO is a blatant ripp-off of Eddie's song.
What say you, ERA?
Note: I'm on mobile and it's a bit of a pain to link the songs. But will do so when I get to a PC.

This also influenced Billy Joel's Say Goodbye to Hollywood as a tribute to Ronnie Spector.
Rick Springfield wished he had Jessie's girl. That song was very popular when I was in high school and so ingrained in my memory I never really paid attention to the lyrics until recently. I always assumed it was about two people in unrequited love; no, it's about a guy who's jealous of/in love with his friend's girlfriend who loves the boyfriend unreservedly.
she is singing with him. They did a ton of talk shows and what not and she was there with him.
That's such a fantastic song. Speaking of Money he makes an appearance on the Netflix show Kominsky Method. Pretty funny.
I've always wished that some current pop star would do a song that includes the line "just like Eddie said, take me home tonight" in the chorus, and have him featured on it, effectively starting a chain that could stretch through the ages.
Then 20-30 years from now, the NEXT person could sing "just like Taylor (or whoever) said, ____________" and have her sit in and sing whatever it is, and so on.

I see we have a couple good candidates here for joining the Eddie Money OT.

No fun in that!
Thanks all. It's sort of disappointing that Ronnie is not featured in the title of the song. It's always "Take me Home Tonight by Eddie Money". Not, "Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money Feat. Ronnie Spector".
