TheLizard Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 but the line in "Helter Skelter" (Beatles) "Feel so suicidal just like Dylan´s Mr. Jones" is, obviously, about Dylan´s Mr Jones... "Yer Blues", not "Helter Skelter". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledjam9 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Led Zeppelin's "Traveling Riverside Blues" mentions their own song "The Lemon Song": Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg Squeeze it so hard, I'll fall right out of bed Squeeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed I did even more research (Wikipedia) finding the 'lemon squeezing' lyrics to be traced back to Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues" who borrowed those lyrics from "She Squeezed My Lemon" by Arthur McKay.

Skuff Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Paul sings "Yesterday"? I never heard it, cyber... I´ll listen to it... but I know that song since 1967... And it´s Ringo who sings the "she loves you yeah..." line. Actually, edna, cyber was (partly) right! (John sings "Yesterday.") See "What Goes On: The Beatles Anomalies List's" Discussion of the matter. In short, Paul Starts it, then John joins, seeing that he didn't have enough breath to start singing SLY,Y,Y,Y after singing "Love is All You need." To see the rest of the site go to What Goes On's Home PAGE Back on topic, do songs that didn't ever reallt exist count? For Example, in "An English teacher," from Bye Bye Birdie, Rosie sings, "When You Wrote Conrad's first hit Ugga Bugga Boo Then I knew! That was it! You were thru with English Forever!" Oh, and by the way I played a part in the local high school production of "BBB". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim s Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Guilty Conscience by Eminem makes a reference to his song 97' Bonnie & Clyde in which he throws his wife in the lake and kidnaps his daughter. Okay! Thought about it, still wanna stab her? Grab her by the throat, get your daughter and kidnap her? That's what I did, be smart, don't be a retard.

MuzikTyme Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 It's widely known that the day the music died was referred to Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens by none other than Don Mclean singing "American Pie."
