re: Songs That Mention Other Bands/Artists in the Title or Lyrics

Another Elvis reference:

"Calling Elvis" - Dire Straits

"Allright" - Darius Rucker

Patsy Cline

Billy Jo Shaver- Wacko from Waco mentions Willie Nelson

Tanya Tucker- Texas When I Die. (I'd ride through all of hell and half of Texas just to hear Merle Haggard sing a country song). I've also heard a version where she says Willie Nelson instead of Merle Haggard. Ed Bruce originally wrote and recorded it, but he sang it as "just to hear some steel guitar and a cowboy song."

Alan Jackson-Gone Country (don't sound much different than Dylan). Also Midnight in Montgomery.

Billy Joel- We didn't Start the Fire mentions a few different artists.

Patty Loveless- Try to think about Elvis

Can't remember who it's by, but there's a song titled Carl Perkins Cadillac.

Stephen Bishop - "On and On"

Sinatra.

God Damn Electric-Pantera
Mentions Black Sabbath and Slayer

Ballrooms of Mars~ T Rex



You gonna look fine
Be primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
All on the trembling plane
Your diamond hands
Will be stacked with roses
And wind and cars
And people of the past
I'll call you thing
Just when the moon sings
And place your face in stone
Upon the hill of stars
And gripped in the arms
Of the changeless madman
We'll dance our lives away
In the ballrooms of Mars
You talk about day
I'm talking 'bout night time
When the monsters call out
The names of men
Bob Dylan knows
And I bet Alan Freed did
There are things in night
That are better not to behold
You dance
With your lizard leather boots on
And pull the strings
That change the faces of men
You diamond browed hag
You're a glitter-gaunt gangster
John Lennon knows your name
And I've seen his....

Red Hot Chili Peppers- goodtime boys

References a few bands Firehose, Fishbone and X.

X - I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts

References the Minutemen,
Flesh Eaters, D.O.A,
Big Boys and the Black Flag
