Songs that mention other songs?

[MarshPhantom]

There can't be many, songs that mention other songs or albums.

I've got three.


Grandaddy - Where I'm Anymore: The ice cream van each night plays Don't Believe the Hype. (Song by Public Enemy)

Warren Zevon - Genius: Did you light the candles, did you put on Kind of Blue. (Album by Miles Davis)

Mystery Jets - Greatest Hits, list a load UK indie albums.


Anyone know anymore?

[Philplop]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama: Well I hope Neil Young will remember, a 'Southern Man' don't need him around anyhow.

I bet there are loads.... That song by Plan B springs to mind though...

"And I'm saying all this in the stand
While girl cries tears from the galleries
Got bigger than I ever could have planned
Like that song by the Zutons Valerie"

[MarshPhantom]

A couple of good ones.

Also God Save the Queen by The Pistols.

Didn't Megadeth do a song where the lyrics just comprised of their own song titles?

Rappers do this all the time. Black Eyed Peas have a song called "Yesterday" that's just come out where they've done this. Although I hold them partly responsible for the way hip hop has gone down the toilet over the years so its a bit rich of them IMHO.

Dream Theater Octavarium has a verse that references a lot of their influences. I'll try and find it.

There we are. Scroll down to see the references to songs by Queen, Styx, The Beatles etc etc.

And Kid Rock's All Summer Long references Sweet Home Alabama.
(and let's not mention the riffs borrowed from Werewolf of London and Sweet Home)

Bowie's Ashes to Ashes reference to Space Oddity, of course.
