Name a Band, in a Song by another Band...

[Aktivator]

Donovan - Fat Angel

"Fly Jefferson Airplane - gets you there on time."

thanks this was bothering me. I knew there was a song that mentioned JA but couldn't think of it.

 

[0000]

Another Skyrnyrd one is is the song "Swamp Music"

The blues artist Son House is referenced

 

[Groovy Man]

The Who mentions T-Rex in ''You Better You Bet''

''I got your body right now on my mind
but, I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex,
To the sound of old T-Rex....and Who's Next''

 

[livemusic]

Radiohead mentions Jim Morrison in "Anyone can play Guitar"

 

[Fisha]

Now while there is a lot that I could name but there is only one I think that really deserves a mention whihc is kisschasy's spray on pants and the reason it's relavent is it is probably only on the basis of their mention in this song (and their good band name) that I ever listenned to Reel Big Fish who are now quite a favourite of mine. I also gave the smiths a listne after they got mentioned in here.

 

[Groovy Man]

Sugarloaf in their song,''Don't Call Us, We'll Call You'' mentions John, Paul and George, but some reason, left out Ringo. (I guess it didn't rhyme or sound right in the structure of the song.)

 

[Gabble Ratchet]

The Who's Mirror Door is pretty much a shoutout to many famous musicians:

 

[TheFeldster]

Billy Joel mentions:

- Doris Day
- Elvis Presley
- Dylan
- Buddy Holly
- "British Beatlemania"
- U2

and references Bill Haley with a mention of "Rock Around the Clock" in this classic:

 

[Kuaizi]

and also Billy Joel's Goodnight Saigon mentions The Doors:

"We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe, and played our Doors tapes"

Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus.... Iron Maiden

Her name is Noelle
I have a dream about her
she rings my bell
I got gym class in half an hour

Oh how she rocks
In Keds and tube socks
But she doesn't know who I am
And she doesn't give a damn about me

Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Listen to Iron Maiden baby... with me
Ooohoooooo

Her boyfriend's a dick
he brings a gun to school
And he'd simply kick
My ass if he knew the truth
He lives on my block
and He drives an IROC
But he doesn't know who I am
And he doesn't give a damn about me...

Cause i'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Yeah i'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
listen to Iron Maiden baby with me
Ooohoooooo

Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.

Man I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely.
Lo and behold
she's walking over to me.

This must be fake
My lip starts to shake
How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about me?


I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby
Come with me Friday - don't say maybe.
I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
like you
Ooohoo Hoo Hooooooo


Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missing...YYYYEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH
