^^^ My favorite line of “Crazy Town” from Jason Aldean is “Bend them strings till the Hank comes out!” 
God bless you and Jason always!!!

A couple more Bob Dylan songs. In Brownsville Girl co-written with Sam Shepard - “Well, there was this movie I seen one time, about a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck
He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself
The townspeople wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck.”
In the Dylan song “Thunder on the Mountain” from Modern Times – “I was thinkin’ 'bout Alicia Keys, couldn’t keep from crying
When she was born in Hell’s Kitchen, I was living down the line
I’m wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be
I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee”
No mention of one the most famous ones of all time?

Tommy Smothers, Bobby Dylan, Tommy Cooper,

All we are saying is give peace a chance.
Sheryl Crow has several. Besides “Steve McQueen” (mentioned earlier, and although his name is the title, it’s not about him), there’s:
“Run, Baby, Run” - Aldous Huxley
“Maybe Angels” - Elvis, Jesus, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain
“If It Makes You Happy” - Geronimo, Marilyn (Monroe, I presume), Benny Goodman
“There Goes The Neighborhood” - Peter Ustinov
“Chances Are” - Terence McKenna
There might be others, too. Offhand I remembered a few of these, but I thought there were more, so I looked 'em up.
Wham!'s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” has the line “You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day”.
Whoa! I always thought that line was “You make the sun shine brighter on the darkest day”. Which doesn’t really make much sense, I realize now…
ETA: And on reviewing the video, I really have to wonder how anyone EVER thought that George Michael might be straight…
“Poor Old Johnny Ray” Come On Eileen, Dexy’s Midnight Runners.
“Whatever happened to Faye Wray” Don’t Dream It, Be It, Rocky Horror Show.
Also “God bless Lili St. Cyr!”.
Good catch. It’s been years. My kid’s almost 14 … she saw the Time Warp on a clip show and loved it. Perhaps it’s time to introduce her.
“Roses Grow” by Concrete Blonde.
Well, Johnny’s all right if you buy him a gin
He’ll tell you his stories about Errol Flynn
He even danced with Marilyn
More from Rocky Horror.
