Who needs such lists…??? It’s so ridiculous…!!

Hmmmm…..What about probally one of the biggest charted hits of all time….

Blondie’s Rapture

Fab five freddy told me everyone’s fly
Dj’s spinning, my my

How about Head Automaticas - I shot William H Macy.

flush

Not really an established band, but Bloodhound Gang’s got some hilarious ones.

Eminem - Criminal - Gianni Versace

“Hey it’s me Versace, woops somebody shot me! And I was just checking the mail. Get it, checking the male?”

Pearl Jam. “Rats.”
At the end where he says “Ben, the
two of us need look no more.”
Shout out to the Jackson 5.

Good job with the RATM track.

“Steppin’ into the jam and I’m slammin’ like Shaquille”

This is a good post, I always enjoyed the beastie shout outs…REM…”dreaming of maria callas, whoever she is” or “hollywood is under me, I’m Martin Sheen, I’m Steve McQueen, I’m Jimmy Dean” or “I don’t wanna be iggy pop, but if that’s what it takes…”…there might be more somewhere.

Billy Joel–We Didn’t Start the Fire. Too many names to mention. Reads like a who’s who of the 20th century.

Again the Beastie Boys from Intergalactic. “Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock.”

How about Too Much Joy’s “William Holden Caulfield,” which offers a blended-together shout-out to the actor in Sunset Boulevard and the kid in Catcher in the Rye? (The movie and the novel are mentioned by name, too.)

How about Talib Kweli shouting out everyone’s favorite 80’s syndicated robot girl in Black Star’s “Hater Players”-”It’s a Small Wonder like Vicki”

John Fogerty’s “Centerfield”

Willie Mays
Ty Cobb
Joe Dimaggio

and of course Simon and Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson” Joe Dimaggio as well.

the nina the pinta the santa maria the noose an the rapist…RATM

As deplorable as Snow Patrol are, their song “Eyes Open” not only name-checks Sufjan Stevens, but goes as far as to give praise to one of his songs (”Chicago”) — totally weird.

I;m a die hard like my man Bruce Willis!

beastie boys - paul’s boutique

rolling stone heres a challange… try doing a list w/o a shout out to bob dylan!

Man on the Moon gives a shout out to Mott the Hoople.

System of a Down shout out to Tony Danza (…”cuts in line”), Jack Girardi (…”is ten feet tall”), and Frankie Avalon….IN ONE SONG!

Cathedral-English doom metal band, have “Huggy Bear-Oh Yeah!” in a song called Utopian Blaster

It’s kind of a goofy song, but Guns ‘N’ Roses “Get in the Ring” is a funny shout-out to Bob Guccione Jr. and his lack of sexual prowess compared to his father. (I’m laughing thinking about it…)

The other that ought to included for sure (sorry if someone else has posted this) is “Sweet Home Alabama”–”I hope Neil Young will remember…”

One more that shouldn’t be overlooked as the song is practically comprised of shout-outs is “Broadway Melody of 1974″ by Genesis. The shout-outs include Lenny Bruce, Marshall McLuhan, Groucho Marx, The Ku Klux Klan, Caryl Chessman, and Howard Hughes. Not bad for a 15-line song!

beasties “sabotage” is a total rip of the The JAms “PRivate Hell” bass only

Beasties oughta top the list for sure, but should be for their shout-out to Japanese home run king, Sadaharu Oh on “Hey Ladies” –”I’ve got more hits than Sadaharu Oh”–Pure Genius!

Paul just thought we should know about David J even though it has nothing to do with this topic

I agree with Office bastard!

ODB’s “I Can’t Wait” should be an uncontestable #1

“…The Eskimos…The Munchkins”

Beastie’s also get a nod for a shot out to Rod Carew on ‘Sure Shot’

A Tribe Called Quest - former Mayor David Dinkins on ‘Left My Wallet in El Segundo’

Dwarves - Brenda, Luke & Kelly from 90210 on ‘Everybodies Girl’

What a bullshit list…

how could the ODB not be number 1?

He has given a shout out to
himself
submarines
people in parts of the world he never been
seeds
and of course the Wu-Tang…

What? No mention of Chubb Rock sending props to his “homegirl Lanie Kazan” in “Treat Em Right?”

Okay, fine, turns out he’s REALLY saying “Lady Kazam,” but it SHOULD be Lanie Kazan…

Here is an acoustic artist that is far different than your average rock/pop artist. David j.’s songwriting and lyrical stories are like non other.

The question is that this kid has not been signed by a major label and everyone is still scratching thier heads to find out why.

I saw David j. on musicnation.com and he is currently in 1st place in the rock category. He seems to be a favorite amongst the artist and the fans.

I found his myspace page it is…

www.myspace.com/davidjmusi c

umm Promiscous- by nelly fertado and she mentions steve nash?

Neil Young’s No Wonder from the Prairie Wind album should have made the list, with the line “I’ll always remember something Chris Rock said.” When I heard it I had to check to make sure I didn’t hear it wrong. Definitely bizarre.

how about yoko ono in roger water’s pros and cons of hitchhiking?

Kanye West - Like Kathy Lee needed Regis / that’s the way I need Jesus - from “Jesus Walks”

Norman Schwartzkopf in Beck’s Hollywood Freaks (of course from Midnite Vultures)

Neil Young gives the Beach Boys a shout out in “Long May You Run” and also Marlon Brando in “Pocahontas”.

Did anyone mention David Bowie’s Marlon Brando reference in “China Girl” on the last list? My eyes started hurting at the sheer volume of entries.

Sorry, I’m still partial to the Han Solo reference in Soul Coughing’s “Rolling”.

Did you know that geddy got his name because his jewish gramma couldn’t quite pronounce Gary….I know and it’s true….back to you my fact checkin cuz

Giants and Beasties on the same list??!!

It’s about damn time!

My fave from Paul’s Boutique has always been the shout-out to Chuck Woolery.

I’m glad the beasties made it to the top, but it really should have just been the whole album of Paul’s Boutique

Rush’s shrill lead singer spells his name ‘Geddy’, but don’t let that get in the way of another clever blog-type entry.
