Songs that mention other artists?

Post by Hellsinkey »

Geddy Lee/Rush threads reminded me of Stereo by Pavement, which of course mentions Geddy Lee.

Couple other unusual ones:
In Cruiser by Red House Painters, Hanoi Rocks is mentioned.
Mark Kozelek's band after Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon has a song called Glenn Tipton.

More?

Demonfilth once told me that P!nk mentions Jessica Simpson and Brittany Spears in a few songs. Other than that, I though you got them all.

The Dead Milkmen's "Punk Rock Girl" mentions Minnie Pearl and Mojo Nixon (not to be confused with our own Mojo).

Maybe I should take the mic
Stand up tall like Michael Stipe
And try to solve the problems of the earth

Or maybe then, I should sit back down
Scratch my chin and use my frown
And try to figure out exactly what I'm worth
