AbbeyNut answer me this then

An alternative thread could be film stars mentioned in songs, e.g.

 

Bananarama - Robert De Nero's waiting

Kim Carnes - Betty Davis' eyes

Nina Simone - My baby just cares for me (Elizabeth Taylor, Lana Turner et al)

Madonna - Vogue, (lots on that one)

 

Or for a laugh, how about lytics that say one thing but sound like something else, as a starter I give you Desmond Dekker's "Me ears are alight" <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

...said Kim Carnes record...Something about making a crow blush?

Purple Haze

"'Scuse me while I kiss this guy"

[coupwotcoup]

Is this the real life, is this just Battersea, caught in a landslide...ad nauseum....

[Badger]

How about TV personalities named in songs?

 

John Kettley is a Weatherman by some one hit wonder group.

Dickie Davis Eyes by Half Man Half Biscuit.

[coupwotcoup]

What about some good old self-abuse songs:

 

Pictures of Lily - The Who

Turning Japanese - The Vapors

Teenage Kicks - The Undertones (although, the jury is still out on this one).

 

and what about the lyrics on Alison Moyet's Love Resurrection, now how did that one get past the BBC?

Aswad - Shine, mentions footballer and other sportmen. "The crowd is roaring, Ian Wrights scoring". Or to re-word it how Spurs supporters sang it.... "The crowd are snoring, Ian Wrights boring".

[theabbeyabbott]

Did anyone mention Dennis Law in the O Jay's classic?

So who was Three Minute Boy a pop at?

Unofficially, it was a swipe at Liam Gallagher and Patsy Kensit, although it was also a general swipe at the whole lot of pop stars who are here today, gone this afternoon.

Cheers Badger....just spotted your post on the Marillo web site so I checked back here.

 

Wasn't it a Diana Ross song that went "if Billy Bonds should ever write my life story..." ?

I am pleasantly surprised to find I am not the only Marillo fan watching ESL football. And the way things are going, the ESL season will be pretty much over before Minehead comes round.

Help an old man out here...What the kinell is Marillo?

[Mr Happy]

I would love to go to the convention as would Mrs H. Unfortunately, finding rodent sitters for three days is not possible!

[MbrunoB]

coupwotcoup? asks a decent question at last and nobody answers. (I want to know as well). <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Marillion are a contemporary rock band with a huge following. they were formed in the late 70s/early 80s and enjoyed considerable success with Fish as their lead singer. He leftin '88 abd Steve Hogarth joined. The bands' line up has remained the same since then. Tehy are very good at promoting themselves via the Internet as thenational radio stations refuse to play their songs despite no 7 and no 16 hit singles earlier this year. You can find out more at www.marillion.com

 

Believe me, they are first class.

[Hookey]

I have a great "Picture Disc" vinyl 12" EP of their 80's hit Kayleigh, wonder if it's worth owt?

[coupwotcoup]

Now what you after??? If they had said Marillion I would have known. Prefer Buddy Holly and Ruby Murray myself.
