O/t Song lyrics that reference other bands and musicians.

[CAMiller]

Look who’s back

Eminem
Numerous references ....

Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit *******s
And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie
You thirty six year old bald headed fag, blow me

Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol.

I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley

They certainly don't write lyrics like they used to

[millersrus]

Not normally my cup of tea, but that ditty dare I say it, I quite liked it.

[philthefluter]

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her (southern man)
Well, I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around, anyhow

[LincsMiller]

This one goes a step further, actually named the song after the artist .
“ Brian Wilson“ . .. Bare Naked Ladies.
And Paul Mc Cartney’s “ let Em In”. Phil and Don ( Everley)

[LincsMiller]

“ 3 Stars” by Tommy Dee.... Buddy Holly
Richie Valence
The Big Bopper

[LincsMiller]

“ Call Up The Groups” The Barron Knights .... Stones, Searchers, Batchelors the ones that spring to mind

[LincsMiller]

Creeque Alley

The Mamas and the Papas

"McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher
In LA you know where it's at."

Great call CT, and Sebastian ( John) also gets a mention

[loyalmiller]

Saxon- the Bands played on

“See the Rainbow shining brightly”

[CTMilller]

Diamonds and Rust

Joan Baez


(On Bob Dylan)
"Well, you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond"

Also (more obviously)

To Bobby

"The years were young, the struggle barely had its star/ Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby?/They’re crying for you"

In return...

She Belongs To Me

Bob Dylan

(On Joan Baez)

"She wears and Egyptian ring/ That sparkles before she speaks"

(Baez did wear an Egyptian ring but the song could equally be about old girlfriend, Suzie Rotolo/Dylan's wife, Sally Lowndes/his daughter/women generally...)

For forty years I thought Carly Simon's You're So Vain was about James Taylor but then she came out and said it was Warren Beatty.
