Name | Song Name | Comments | Submittor Name | |||
| Artful Dodger | Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta) (feat. Craig David) | The line: "You Know, you know the Artful Dodger Do it like that. With Craig David all over your (boink)" gives the point away. | BrilliantJ8 | |||
| Carolina Rain | Carolina Rain | Carolina Rain was a contemporary country trio that were together from 2003-2009. The song is from their debut album Weather The Storm. But it's not about the band; it really is about rain in Carolina, the word being in the name of 2 U.S. states. But whether it's North or South Carolina they're talking about isn't specified. | Edward | |||
| Devo | Devo Corporate Anthem | Appears on their 1979 album "Duty Now for the Future" | Mike | |||
| Jimmy Castor Bunch | Supersound | The lyric "It just needs the Castor Bunch and that's all." | Reggie Pillbox | |||
| Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros | Janglin' | "Edward and the Magnetic Zeros" is the last line of the chorus. | Nat | |||
| Will Smith | Will 2K | From his 1999 album "Willennium" (so titled in anticipation of the milestone year 2000 fast approaching). Contains a sampling of the 1982 song "Rock The Casbah" by the Clash. | Joe | |||
| Deepest Blue | Deepest Blue | One of two hits had by this UK duo in the early 2000s, the other being "Give It Away". (NOTE: The word "It" is a pronoun, not a preposition, therefore it gets capitalized in titles.) | Nat | |||
| Rammstein | Rammstein | Not only did their name reference an air disaster in 1988, but they decided their debut song should be the same name too. | Steve | |||
| Moe Bandy & Joe Stampley | Hey Joe, Hey Moe | These two solo male country singers teamed up in the late 70s and early 80s for a string of successful hit country songs, which were usually lighthearted and humorous in nature, this being one of them. It's actually a remake of a song titled Hey Joe that was originally recorded by Carl Smith in the early 50s. They recorded it for a duet album they were doing and released it as a single. Boudleaux Bryant who wrote the original Hey Joe, was involved with Bandy and Stampley's version, actually rewriting his song with new lyrics just for them. The song humorously centers on them fighting for the attention of an attractive young woman and which of them will end up with her. | Edward | |||
| Xuxa | Xuxa's Theme | Brionna Secret | ||||
| Kool and The Gang | Kool And The Gang | A song on their debut album from the early 70s (also titled Kool and The Gang, obviously), but I haven't been able to find any lyrics to the song online. | Edward | |||
| Captain Jack | Captain Jack | German band; self-titled song was a hit in many European countries in 1995. | Evan | |||
| The Prodigy | Invaders Must Die | A voice says "We are the Prodigy!" right before the drop. | Nat | |||
| B. Bumble and the Stingers | Bumble Boogie | From 1961. A take on Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee." | Joe | |||
| Queen | White Queen (As It Began) | From "Queen II" | Aaron | |||
| Eloy | Eloy | The title track from the band's 1971 self-titled debut album | Joey F. | |||
| Chante Moore | Chante's Got A Man | Debut single from her 1999 album, "This Moment Is Mine." Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100; almost a top hit on the R&B chart. | Jeffrey | |||
| Berlin | Dancing In Berlin | I wouldn't exactly call it a "vanity song". But it obviously mentions the city of Berlin Germany from which the band took its name (even though the band itself is not actually from there). | Edward | |||
| Blue Tears | Blue Tears | From the band's eponymous 1990 debut album. Rest in peace, Gregg Fulkerson! | Joey F. | |||
| Army of Lovers | My Army of Lovers | The band and their song (released in 1990) were not very well-known outside of their native Sweden. | Mike |
