Real Lyrics -> Song Lyrics That Name Check Celebrities -> Bob Dylan
If you have song lyrics that name check celebrities for a song use the below form to send it in. No sexually explicit entries. They will not be added.
I'm not talking about songs that just name someone (there's more than I could ever list). I'm referring to songs that name someone famous or well known. For instance the Beastie Boys "name check" Abe Vigoda in "Posse in Effect".

Where many martyrs fell,
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
When I was leavin' the bay
I saw three ships a-sailin'
They were all heading my way
I asked the captain what his name was
And how come he didn't drive a truck
He said his name was Columbus
I just said, 'Good luck'
When she was born in Hell's Kitchen, I was living down the line
I'm wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be
I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee
I would set him in chains at the top of the hill
Then send out for some pillars and Cecil B DeMille
He could die happily ever after
Causes Galileo's math book to get thrown
At Delilah who sits worthlessly alone
But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter
Causes Galileo's math book to get thrown
At Delilah who sits worthlessly alone
But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter
To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
At the head of the chamber of commerce
The city fathers they're trying to endorse
The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
But the town has no need to be nervous
Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
Saying, 'Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
Is there a hole for me to get sick in?'
Tuba players now rehearse around the flagpole
And the national bank at a profit sells road maps for the soul
To the old folks home and the college
