Dappled Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 A Letter to the Beatles by The 4 Preps My girl fell in love with a singing group from Enlgand far away She lost her mind, she lost her heart, when they began to play I want to hold your hand. And so my girl wrote a letter to The Beatles saying you're so fine You can have my love to keep, take this heart of mine Beatles I'd give you anything, all of my true love But they wrote a letter back to her saying that ain't enough. You gotta send us 25 cents for an autographed picture One dollar bill for a fan club card And if you send in right away You get a lock of hair from our St. Bernard I want to hold your hand. So she wrote another letter to The Beatles saying you misunderstood It's you I love, it's you I want, to have and hold for good Beatles I'd give you anything, all of my true love But they wrote a letter back to her saying that ain't enough. You gotta send us 25 cents for an autographed picture One dollar bill for a fan club card And if you send in right away You get a lock of hair from our St. Bernard I want to hold your hand. So she wrote a last letter to The Beatles and now my song can end Cause they're all around her, making her life another heaven Yeah my girl and The Beatles got together and now she's my girl no more Cause she wrote Dear Beatles, I love you very much, and furthermore. She sent them 25 cents for an autographed picture One dollar bill for a fan club card And cause she sent it right away She got a lock of hair from their St. Bernard.

MindCrime Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 "1985 - Bowling for Soup" has about twelve 80's bands mentioned in the lyrics She was gonna be an actress She was gonna be a star She was gonna shake her ass(ass) On the hood of White Snake's car Her yellow SUV is now the enemy Looks at her average life And nothing, has been... all right since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2 & Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids in high school They tell her that she's uncool Cuz she's still preoccupied With 19, 19, 1985 She’s seen all the classics She knows every line "Breakfast Club", "Pretty In Pink" Even "St. Elmo's Fire" She rocked out to Wham! Not a big Limp Bizkit fan Thought she'd get a hand On a member of Duran Duran Where's the mini-skirt made of snakeskin? And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen? When did reality become T.V.? What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows, (on the radio) She hates time, make it stop When did Motley Crue become classic rock? And when did Ozzy become an actor?

Levis Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Oh yes they will: "Since the tragic news of Mr. Jackson’s passing yesterday, we here at The Odditorium have been besieged with requests of the status of The Dandys’ cover of The Beatles’ “Blackbirdâ€, as foretold, and some would say, fore-promised (that’s probably not a word), in the title track of our 2003 album Welcome To The Monkey House. Please note that this was not an anticipated event and we had no cover of “Blackbird†all rearin’ to go. I mean, how could we? With both Courtney and Fathead currently out of town we cannot say when we will be able to get to this cover of “Blackbirdâ€, but we will, as soon as we are all together and able, since we have come to find that it means so much to a lot of you."

BlueAngel Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" - LCD Soundsystem (this song always makes me smile) "Losing My Edge" - LCD Soundsystem, blatantly namechecks a bunch of artists that music experts namecheck as cool or original: Yeah, I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge. The kids are coming up from behind. I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London. But I was there. I was there in 1968. I was there at the first Can show in Cologne. I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks. I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978. I'm losing my edge. To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin. I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties. But I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge, but I was there. I was there. But I was there. I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge. I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks. But I was there. I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City. I was working on the organ sounds with much patience. I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band. I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime." I was there. I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids. I played it at CBGB's. Everybody thought I was crazy. We all know. I was there. I was there. I've never been wrong. I used to work in the record store. I had everything before anyone. I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan. I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes. I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988. But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent. And they're actually really, really nice. I'm losing my edge. I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s. I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record. I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables. I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars. I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know. But have you seen my records? This Heat, Pere Ubu, Outsiders, Nation of Ulysses, Mars, The Trojans, The Black Dice, Todd Terry, the Germs, Section 25, Althea and Donna, Sexual Harrassment, a-ha, Pere Ubu, Dorothy Ashby, PIL, the Fania All-Stars, the Bar-Kays, the Human League, the Normal, Lou Reed, Scott Walker, Monks, Niagra, Joy Division, Lower 48, the Association, Sun Ra, Scientists, Royal Trux, 10cc, Eric B. and Rakim, Index, Basic Channel, Soulsonic Force ("just hit me"!), Juan Atkins, David Axelrod, Electric Prunes, Gil!

cptracks Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Taxi Driver by Gym Class Heroes I took cutie for a ride in my deathcab She tipped me with a kiss I dropped her off at the meth lab Before she left she made a dashboard confessional And spilled her guts in cursive but whats worse is I could still see her bright eyes like sunny day real estate Oh my and in a funny way the ceiling tastes So high but no chance My little chemical romance left a bad taste in my mouth But I approached her like hey mercedes why the long face Why you cryin? theres no need Just put on this coheed and fallout Boy meets girl jimmy eat world But Schlep eats pills till hes all out Not once not twice she was thrice times a lady Mackin on brand new, but I had to Bounce over to the postal service to Pick up these pills that take care of my nervousness And all the way I saw planes and mistook 'em for stars She played games but she took em too far At the drive in Watching soft porn and you can tell By the trail of the dead, that there was somethin in the popcorn I hop in my cab destination midtown Just to get up with some kids that like to get down I'd made my rounds and that was that In between the frowns and scraps and heart attacks And I remember I seen her ass in early november On a Thursday taking back Sunday for a refund She shot a wink like no hard feelings Then she jetted to brazil man them pills had me spun This is the story of the year right here This is hot water music Put ya ramen into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Say, that's a lot of references to other artists. But you could also have highlighted... I could still see her bright eyes like sunny day real estate... But Schlep eats pills till hes all out Not once not twice she was thrice times a lady... She played games but she took em too far At the drive in... Watching soft porn and you can tell By the trail of the dead, that there was somethin in the popcorn... At The Drive-In and Trail Of Dead were the best two bands mentioned in that song and you missed'em both. Come on; it aint exactly "Where's Wally".

pinkstones Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm not sure if this counts or not, but in the song Hotel California, when Don sings the line "they stab it with their steely knives", they were making reference to Steely Dan. As the legend goes, in one of Steely Dan's songs, they mention turning up the Eagles during a domestic dispute so the neighbors can't hear - so the Eagles returned the favor.
