Post a song that mentions another recording artist or artists.
I'm very fond of songs which reference other artists. For my own amusement, I've compiled a list of the ones I've posted so far:
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Punky Reggae Party (12" Version)
Wailers be there,
The Dammed, The Jam, The Clash,
Maytals
Dr. Feelgood too, ooh,
No boring old farts
No boring old farts
Christy Moore - Lisdoonvarna (Live)
A 747 for Jackson Browne
They had to build a special runway just to get him down
Before the Chieftains could start to play
Seven creamy pints came out on a tray
Shergar was ridden by Lord Lucan
Seán Cannon did the backstage cookin'
Clannad were playin' "Harry's Game"
Christy was singin' "Nancy Spain"
Mary O'Hara and Brush Shields
Together singin' "The Four Green Fields"
Van the Man and Emmy Lou
Moving Hearts and Planxty too!
Christy Moore - Fairytale of New York
Shane, I love you you baby too
Cornershop - Brimful of Asha (Norman Cook Remix)
Behind those movie screens - Asha Bhosle
She's the one that keeps the dream alive
From the morning, past the evening
Till the end of the light
David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome
"Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school?
You look like a Rolling Gnome."
"Nah, not at the London school of Eco-gnome-ics."
Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Reasons to Be Cheerful, Pt.3
Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good Golly Miss Molly and boats
and
Elvis and Scotty, the days when I ain't spotty,
and
Saying 'okey-dokey', singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey
and
John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celantano
Bonar Colleano
Nanci Griffith - Listen to the Radio
Where would we be without the songs Loretta wrote
Ricky Nelson - Garden Party
And people came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
An' over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise
Seamus Moore - Transit Van
At festivals and fleadhs and fairs
If the craic was good, you'd find me there
At all big matches in Croke Park
And I danced with Springsteen in the dark
Television Personalities - Part Time Punks
Then they go to Rough Trade
To buy Siouxsie And The Banshees
They heard John Peel play it
Just the other night
They'd like to buy the 'O' Level single
Or "Read about Seymour",
But they're not pressed in red
So they buy The Lurkers instead
The Commodores - Nightshift
Marvin
Sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our mind
And I still can hear him say
"Oh, talk to me
So you can see what's goin' on"
Say you will sing your songs
Forevermore, evermore
The High Kings - Irish Pub Song
And you know you're in an Irish pub the minute you're in the door
For a couple of boys with bodhrans will be murdering Christy Moore
The Saw Doctors - I'd Love To Kiss The Bangles
I wouldn't kiss Liam O'Maonlai,
Guns & Roses or Muddy Waters.
I wouldn't kiss Brian Wilson
Or his lovely yankee daughters.
And Shane McGowan is not my type
Because his teeth are green and mangled
But Jesus Christ Almighty, I'd love to bang the Bangles
The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin
His ma bought him a synthesizer
She brough the Human League into advise her
