Real Lyrics -> Song Lyrics That Name Check Celebrities -> Richard Thompson
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".

Front Parlour Ballads album at Amazon.com
Well my foot and my heart seemed to falter
For there you were standing by Custom House Landing
Like Venus risen out of the water
What do we need Physics for?
Heresy's his inspiration
Corrupt and rotten to the core
Curse his devious mathematics
Curse his deadly atom war
Charlie Parker lived in vain
Blasphemer, womanizer
Let a needle numb his brain
Wash away his monkey music
Damn his demons, Damn his pain
Small ideas for little boys
Adding to the senseless chatter
Adding to the background noise
Hard to hear my oratory
Hard to hear my inner voice.
Sir Isaac Newton
Scaping paint onto a board
Colour is the fuel of madness
That's no way to praise the Lord
Grey's the colour of the pious
Knelt upon the misericord
Will you go that extra mile?
'Alms for the poor
Alms for the poor'
Chairman Mao's got a whole lot of thoughts
And R.D.Laing's got me tied up in knots
Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Laing
X-ray the deck to see what's coming
Marie Antoinette, she smiled that way
Easy to smile when the luck is running
Like a myth, you rode in from the West
From the go you had my button pressed
Did the teatime of your soul
Make you long for wilder days
Did you never let Jack Kerouac
Wash over you in waves
Jack Kerouac
Swastikas and pentagrams
Flourished from his tender hands
But we watched in the rain
As the bully beat him up again
When we were boys at school
Hector (Greek mythological soldier)
Nimrod (Mesopotamian ruler)
Friedrich Nietzsche (German philosopher)
