What are your favorite songs that take shots at other big time musicians?

I feel like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is talking shite about John & Yoko.

Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" at Stevie Nicks

actually she said it talking about someone else I believe but Petty/Nicks are buddies

Hit 'em Up by 2pac.. I can't be sure but I think it was a shot at Biggie. Kind of ambiguous though.

Not sure if it's directed at any particular musician, but Dire Strait's Money For Nothing takes a pretty nice jab at poser musicians.

Mudhoney's Into Your Shtik, about Courtney Love, released after Cobain's death...

You're so tormented
Demented
Indebted
To all the assholes
Just like you
Who've come and gone
Before you predictable
Just plain dull
Why don't you
Blow your brains out, too
You're so into yer shtik

You're so hounded
Ungrounded
Surrounded
By scum suckin' leeches
Who will shovel your shite
Sweep your dirt up before and after, man
Feed your ego
They never tell you no
All of you
Make me sick
You're so into yer shtik

And they're all into your shtik

Well, Mitchell's got a new girl
She's nineteen
Hollywood model
Star of the screen
Well, she's up here
To support the scene
It's all part
Of his rock and roll fantasy

Stan was at the bar
With bandaged hands
They tried to dry him out
And he got mad
Cut his fist
Punchin' hospital glass
Made his myth
Now he's trapped

Susie's just a girl
Who's doin' her job
That came to New York
And wanted a car
Workin' with the management
To the stars
Kissin' arse
Is a part of the job
Well, it's part of the job
Yeah, it's part of the job
Oh she loves her job
What the hell
She does it so well

I'm not perfect
I've lived a life of mistakes
I'm not perfect
But there's one thing I can't take
You are into yer shtik
You're so into yer shtik
And they're so into yer shtik
frick you, you make me sick

Brian Eno - Dead Finks Don't Talk

The whole song is a big time rip on his ex-Roxy Music bandmate Bryan Ferry. They did NOT like each other by about the time Eno left the group. The producer of the album (who also produced Roxy's Music's recent albums) was quoted as saying "You’ll get me shot for that track. It’s obviously about Bryan.". Eno has said since that it wasn't, but that's bullshite.

The best part is around 1:15 when he mocks Ferry's singing voice. Makes me lol every time.

Some good quotes form the lyrics about Ferry:

quote:

---

Oh you headless chicken
Can those poor teeth take so much kicking?
You're always so charming
As you peck your way up there.

quote:

---

To be a zombie all the time
Requires such dedication.

Basically calling out Ferry for being a weirdo (he apparently is a real aloof and stiff guy). There are some other less obvious lines in there too. And obviously the "Dead Finks" part was a pretty hard shot at Ferry.

Westside Connection - King of the Hill

The Rotters - Sit On My Face Stevie Nicks

If we're taking shots at Stevie Nicks this one doesn't pull any punches.
