We already did a thread for songs that name drop other musical artists, but what about other kinds of celebrities? As in movie stars, athletes, writers, politicians, historical figures, etc. Apologies if this has already been done and I missed it.

Big & Rich - Love Train (Michael Jordan)
Collin Raye - My Kind of Girl (William Faulkner, Martin Luther King, James Dean)

I thought of another song the other day that name-dropped Brad Pitt (he seems to be a favorite) but it has completely slipped my mind and it's driving me CRAZY.

Shania Twain - "That Don't Impress Me Much" mentions Brad Pitt. It wasn't that. Shania's song was already mentioned so I crossed that out of my mind. It's really bugging me now. |
