Muziek over andere muzikanten #2

John Lennon - Oh Yoko!

Bad English - Rockin' Horse

Lyrics:
Got the top down, wishin' on a star, underneath the Spanish moon
Golden Earring on the radio, Radar Love is coming thru

Nine Inch Nails - Starfuckers Inc.
Over Manson meen ik

The Rotters - Sit on my face Stevie Nicks

Heather Nova - Paper Cup (over Jeff Buckley)

Yo La Tengo - Let's Save Tony Orlando's House

Ik heb nog een zooitje gevonden en ze gaan allemaal over Paul Westerberg:

The Gentlemen Losers - Westerberg Goes For 9 (bijna de hele tekst bestaat uit Replacements lyrics-flarden)
The Atomic Hep Cats - A Westerberg Song
The Cigarettes - Paul Westerberg
Steve Westfield - Bent And Melted Next To Paul Westerberg

^{jaja, ben weer Replacements-related bezig}

Guster - Come Downstairs And Say Hello

Dorothy moves
To click her ruby shoes
Right in tune
With Dark Side of the Moon

_{Over de mythe dat Dark Side Of The Moon synchroon zou lopen met de film Wizard of Oz uit 1939, als je ze tegelijkertijd start}

Is "Brian Wilson" van de Barenaked Ladies al genoemd??? Lekker nummer overigens!

The Chills - Song for Randy Newman etc.
Met daarin ook nog de zin:

quote:

Men like Wilson, Barrett, Walker, Drake

Hello Saferide - Long Lost Penpal

quote:

I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
when my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on

Een muzikant wil ik 'm niet echt noemen, maar toch Fred Astaire heeft in zijn films een fiks aantal liedjes gezongen en ook wat albums gemaakt, duss...

... en Lucky Boys Confusion heeft een liedje over 'm gemaakt, dat dus ook gewoon 'Fred Astaire´ heet:

You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
You can lie to yourself and all your friends
And pretend that you don't care

quote:

The Mo had toch ook een single "Fred Astaire" ?

Warren Zevon - Splendid Isolation met daarin de lyrics:

Michael Jackson in Disneyland
Don't have to share it with nobody else
Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand
And lead me through the World of Self

No Use For A Name covert Beth van Kiss en zingen als het nummer al afgelopen is:

Gene and Paul
We hate you most of all
Ace, you're the ace
And Peter, you're the cat

The Beatles - Glass Onion (over henzelf , of eigenlijk over hoe anderen over hen speculeerden).

Die kun je hier kwijt: Popmuzikanten die zichzelf bezingen

Cake - Frank Sinatra:

quote:

While Frank Sinatra sings "Stormy Weather"
The flies and spiders get along together
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record

Dave Matthews - Jimi thing

quote:

Sometimes a Jimi Thing slides my way and keeps me swingin'
I'd like to show you what's inside
And I sure don't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rule all about
Sometimes I walk there
Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care I shouldn't care bereaved as I'm feeling

quote:

Queen - I Go Crazy

So I ain't gonna go see no Rolling Stones - no more - no more
I don't wanna go to see Queen - no more - no more
I ain't gonna go see them Rolling Stones - no more - no more
I don't wanna go and see Queen - no more - no more - no more - no more

Is Stevie Wonder al genoemd met Sir Duke?

Naam zegt het al, een hommage aan jazzlegendes als Duke Ellington.

quote:

For theres Basie, Miller, Satchmo
And the king of all Sir Duke
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out
Theres no way the band can lose

Verder over Louis Armstrong, William Basie, Glenn Miller en Ella Fitzgerald

John Waite - Downtown

It's down to cigarettes and rosaries
Christ, I wish someone would call me
Johnny Thunders on the radio
Ah, but you can't put your arms
Around a memory

Goed topic

Dat nummer is niet van Weezer.

Duke Special - John Lennon Love

Well, I'm just not sure it's the same any more
You must have ten good reasons to leave your lover boy
'Cause I don't get in 'til half past three
And the shit I walk on comes in with me
But I don't want nobody else but you

Well, I look around, try to find another soul
Wanna be a John Lennon, wanna be something more
But I can't change, it's the same old me
And the shit I walk on comes in with me
But I don't want nobody else but you

Nobody else can dance the way you do
Nobody else romances me or takes a second chance on me like you
Like you

Well I love you pitifully poor, this is true
But for ten more summers I don't know what I would do
Well I'm such a fool I must agree
'Cause the shit I walk on comes in with me
But I don't want nobody else but you

Nobody else can dance the way you do
Nobody else romances me or takes a second chance on me like you
Like you

The Hellacopters - Paul Stanley

Hound dogs they are fighting
In a room with a ten lock door
Waitin' for the second sighting
Plastered to a wall in a store
They got dope they got high
But they never tell the reasons why
Come clean sis' amphetamine
Has gone astray
Manhog takes a look in the mirror
Skins it up around 4:25
Still the picture's not getting clearer
Walks away, rips the joint, take a dive
If you can't cope you can hide
But they'll never let you in on their side
Come clean sisters turpenteen
Have gone away
Come clean fade away the scene
Stay clean perpetuate all means
Electric dreams guitars quarantean
I'm gone away

Tommy Lee - Tired

Gaat over zijn relatie met Pamela Anderson maar ook over P.Diddy en Jennifer Lopez

It’s exciting
In the beginning
The first four weeks
When you f*ck five times a day

But something happens
It all starts slipping
You chew off your own arm
Just to get away

It’s not you
And it’s not me
I’d rather play Halo on my t.v.
It’s no defence but it’s all I’ve got to say

Well Tommy got tired of Pamela
Ed got tired of Selma
Puffy got tired of Jlo and Ben did too
Heff gets tired of that playboy girl
Someone’s even tired of Miss Nude World
I’m just tired of you

I can remember
In the beginning
When you were Wonder Woman
With a cape
Then something happened
And the walls started closing in
And I would have shot myself just to escape

Its not you
And its not me
We’re just not singing in harmony
It’s no defence but its all I got to say

Well Tommy got tired of Pamela
Ed got tired of Selma
Puffy got tired of Jlo and Ben did too
Heff gets tired of that playboy girl
Someone’s even tired of Miss Nude World
I’m just tired of you

Someday I’ll find the one
She’ll be my best friend
And make me com-
-plete
She’ll love everything that I like to do
And when I find her
I’ll take two

Wat een baggertekst... Tommy... de simpele ziel....

Biffy Clyro -Saturday Superhouse

quote:

Then I see a darkness
You see the blinding light
Will Oldham's in the corner moaning
"Can't you write your own lines"

John Wesley Harding - Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Steve Goodman, David Blue & Me

Mike Doughty - Sweet Lord in Heaven

quote:

Oh I have felt
Cobain’s sarcoma
Growing on
This will of mine
To drag me down
Into the water
The joy i feel
Before i drown

And the lord’s hand moves on the scheme of my nerves
In the chemicals swimming and the substance of the earth
His love so great but the soul singers spurn him
To sing their love to some unknown reckless girl

They sing to great
Queen heroina
The comfort that
She warms them with
Their music swells
With all their yearning
They are ashamed
To sing for him

Who has built these shells that our spirits knock inside
And weep for their release in the onrush of the tide
Of the lord’s great seas that will boil when he returns
To pluck us off the face of this sad and dirty world

I saw sam cooke
And Ian Curtis
At the door
Of his golden realm
They sang his name
Sweet lord in heaven
And then the lord
He let them in

Sonic Youth - Mariah Carey and the Arthur Doyle Hand Cream
------------------
Your bounce to the ounce makes us want to pounce
You're just being totally perfect
On larry king you said you weren't tired
Time to put to bed the competitive edge
They say you can't say no to drama
Now you don't have to try so hard

The label says: 'don't have to wear less clothes'
Next time you take a bubble bath
Hey hey little baby break down
Button-up baby you come undone
Hey hey little baby get down
Before you fall and hurt someone

You say you need privacy
Broken glass everywhere
Maybe you need an emo boy
No underwear on the director's chair

You are seemingly unconscious
Of what yr body's doing
Like miss Monroe yr head don't know
Exactly what yr body's doing

Hey hey little baby break down
Button-up baby you come undone
Hey hey little baby get down
Before you fall and hurt someone

On TV yr soft and whispery
Delicate like angel food cake
They say if you press too hard on it
It'll squish into a dense ball
It will lose its fluffiness
That's what you get when you use a boxed mix
Can you get some satisfaction
How much are you willing to pay for

Hey hey little baby break down
Button-up baby you come undone
Hey hey little baby get down
Before you fall and hurt someone

What's your gut feelin' about the new deal
How's the label gonna remake you
How was your date with eminem
Did he bake you and then forsake you
Is innocence gonna still overtake you
Like arthur doyle they can't fake you
Ah mariah yr endless
Like the wind, your feelin' defenseless

Hey hey little baby break down
Button-up baby you come undone
Hey hey little baby get down
Before you fall and hurt someone

Ravage! Ravage! - Join Up! For The New Young Pony Club

Sport - Frank Black Really Rocks

Kingdom Come - Bon Scott (van het album 'Ain't Crying For The Moon - 2006)

^{Baggertekst, maar hey: het gaat wel over Bon Scott, he!}

Stood up spoke his mind
Never pointed finger
Cried out many times
A god's given bringer

Are you digging this
Going back in time
Music old or new
You always come to mind

Bon Scott that it is
Your words never missed
In after life I believe
You ain't no history
Hope you're feeling free

Perfect play on words
Something I could lean on
This song's in return
For helping me ride on

Bon Scott that it is
Your words never missed
In after life I believe
You ain't no history
Hope you like what you see
And feeling free - Yeah
You know the piace you got the key

Bon Scott that it is
Your words never missed
In after life I believe
You ain't no history
Hope you like what you see
And feeling free - Yeah
Bon Scott that it is
The boys keep rocking ot
Singing your songs out loud

Relient K - Marilyn Manson Ate My Girlfriend

Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her.
Go up to her and say you're a believer.
Disgusting trash on MTV it makes her smile.
That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial.

Because... Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend.
Satan consumed her mind, and he may do it again.
Marylin Manson ate my girlfriend.
She once believed in the truth, now she believes in sin.

She denies God when she has the chance to live for him.
The thought of it makes me cringe.
Her future looks dim.
She'd rather gaze in Satan's eyes than on a steeple.
I'm really starting to despise beautiful people.

Foo Fighters - Friend of a Friend

quote:

He needs a quiet room
With a lock to keep him in
It's just a quiet room
And he's there

He plays an old guitar
With a coin found by the phone
It was his friends guitar
That he played

He's never been in love
But he knows just what love is
He said nevermind
And no-one speaks

He thinks he drinks too much
Cos when he tells his too best friends
'I think I drink too much'
No-one speaks
No-one speaks
No-one speaks

He plays an old guitar
With a coin found by the phone
It was his friends guitar
That he played

When he plays
No-one speaks
No-one speaks
When he plays
No-one speaks

Over Kurt cobain dus. behalve een paar dingen in het liedje heeft Dave dit zelf ook verteld, kweet alleen niet meer waar lol

Lagwagon - Days Of New

Over hun overleden oud-drummer Derek Plourde

The days are full of storybook romance
the myriad of thoughtful acts
A million ways I'm into you
I'm never getting over you
I'm sorry for exposing you
I know you hate it when I do
But I had to write one for my better half

The days are new, the nights unwind
You break my world, you change my mind
Run out of love, come down from life
Run out of pain, my life has changed

It's obvious it's all been said in cheesy poems and chick flicks
The mushy shit that people say, it makes us chuckle everyday
So how can I express to you the recent dramas we've been through
I wouldn't have been fine without your help

The days are new, the nights unwind
You touch my world, you change my life
Run out of love, run out of life
Come down from hate, the world has changed

But we may never have met if it weren't for him
Hey Derrick, maybe somehow you're listening

Today's mantra is gratitude
You changed my life
I'm sure you knew
I'll never forget the words that you said
The life that you lead
I'll never forget, I'll never forget

Drive-By Truckers - Ronnie and Neil

Over de (zogenaamde) vete tussen Ronnie van Zandt en Neil Young (zie ook 'Sweet Home Alabama' van Lynyrd Skynyrd en 'Southern Man' en 'Alabama' van Young)

Church blew up in Birmingham
Four little black girls killed for no goddamn good reason
All this hate and violence can't come to no good end
A stain on the good name.
A whole lot of good people dragged threw the blood and glass
Blood stains on their good names and all of us take the blame

Meanwhile in North Alabama, Wilson Pickett comes to town
To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound

Meanwhile in North Alabama, Aretha Franklin comes to town
To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound

And out in California, a rock star from Canada writes a couple of great songs about the
Bad shit that went down
"Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly told some truth
But there were a lot of good folks down here and Neil Young wasn't around

Meanwhile in North Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd came to town
To record with Jimmy Johnson at Muscle Shoals Sound
And they met some real good people, not racist pieces of shit
And they wrote a song about it and that song became a hit

Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil
Rock stars today ain't half as real
Speaking there minds on how they feel
Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil

Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song
Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song
So He wrote "Powderfinger" for Skynyrd to record
But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet Home Alabama" to the lord

And Neil helped carry Ronnie in his casket to the ground
And to my way of thinking, us southern men need both of them around

Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil Rock stars today ain't half as real
Speaking their minds on how they feel
Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil

Nine Days - Bob Dylan

Bobby's in the basement making his movie,
He paints a little picture but not to be cheesy.
He wants this little girl to believe in him easy,
Bristles to the canvas imagining he feels high.
Inspriation of my heart search for light out of the dark.
All the pictures in my heart lie awake there in my fog.
This oasis in my arms I approach it with disarm.
Though it might do me some harm stop to catch me if I fall.
Bobby's in the basement making his music,
He never won't stop though not to abuse it.
If there's some other way that they only would use it,
He lives another day but they always refuse it.
Lacerations of my heart.
Dropped down in peices in the dark.
Mixed the words up on this page.
Makes the purple turn to beige.
Inspriation of my heart search for light out of the dark.
All the pictures in my heart lie awake there in my fog.
This oasis in my arms I approach it with disarm.
Though it might do me some harm stop to catch me if I fall.

It's just like Bob Dylan says...
Stop depression of my own walk the only road I know.
If I am only dreamin' then I am not that far from it.
Sow the strength that grows from seeds worship creativity.
If I am only dreamin' then me an' Bob are not that far today.
So long as I'm young.
Bobby's in the basement making his music.
I search the beaches walk the sand.
I cut my feet on broken glass.
Strap the sandals on my feet.
I'm run down but I still hit the street.
Inspriation of my heart search for light out of the dark.
All the pictures in my heart lie awake there in my fog.
This oasis in my arms I approach it with disarm.
Though it might do me some harm stop to catch me if I fall.

It's just like Bob Dylan says...
Stop depression of my own walk the only road I know.
If I am only dreamin' then I am not that far from it.
Sow the strength that grows from seeds worship creativity.
If I am only dreamin' then me an' Bob are not that far today.
So long as I'm young.
Bobby's in the basement making his movie,
He paints a little picture but not to be cheesy.
He wants this little girl to believe in him easy,
Bristles to the canvas imagining he feels high.

High.

Inspiration of my heart.
Desperation of my heart.
