Daft Punk - Teachers

but there must be a million songs that mention other bands/musicians in the lyrics, so I'm not going to search further... now, a mention of another band/musician in the title of the song, I can't think of anything at the moment...

CSS - Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above

Gil Scot Heron- The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (Johnny Cash, Engelbert Humperdink, a few others)
Dr. Octagon- I'm Destructive (def leppard, Van Halen, Grateful Dead)

evollove · 01.04.2008, 05:55 PM

Sleater Kinney- I wanna be yr Joey Ramone (Thurston Moore in 2nd chorus)

Clash- 1977. No elvis, beatles or the rolling stones.

U2- Angel of Harlem- lots. Lady Day, Miles, Coltrane, etc

Dead Milkmen- Punk Rock Girl. Mojo Nixon

ZEROpumpkins · 01.04.2008, 06:09 PM

One of the most immediately obvious is Unseen Powers of the Picket Fence by Pavement. The chorus consists of "R.E.M!" and SM opens the song by saying something along the lines of "There's a lot of bands i've name dropped, but one we haven't done yet is R.E.M." whole song is about REM.

Inhuman · 01.04.2008, 07:22 PM

Noah23 - Chicken Pox (23 Skidoo)
Every song by the Game mentions Dr. Dre
