Dear Markj,
              Yes I do concede you did some good preliminary work for
nought return so yes go ahead and add the video clips and whatever
else you can as comments and take this little tip as minor
compensation for work done but being pipped at the post by another. I
got confused a bit with excellent responses coming through and should
have taken note of others doing good work also.

It's very nice of you to direct this question my way, and I shall
respond with audio clips of 11 different non-Beatles songs titled
simply "Michelle."  I hope that your friend Michelle recognizes at
least one of them and that you and she enjoy at least some of these
tunes:

The first four are my favorites:
George Roberts/Clark Terry  [jazz]

Additional Sites:

Here are the lists of songs named "Michelle" (and variations on that
name) obtained from the sites of the two major U.S. music rights
organizations:

ASCAP: Title Search Results: "Michelle"
http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=MICHELLE&search_in=t&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&pagenum=1&start=1

BMI: Title Search Results: "Michelle"
http://repertoire.bmi.com/TitleSearch.asp?querytype=WorkName&page=1&fromrow=1&torow=25&keyname=michelle&blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=False&blnAltTitles=False
 	


Search Strategy:

All of these songs were found at the All Music Guide's Web site and
cross-checked with the music rights organization song lists.  I then
followed the All Music Guide's links to Barnes & Noble to get the
audio clips of the various versions (that was the fun part).

Thanks again for the question.
