On That Note: Good Citations

I have two contributions.

1. Jason Derulo mentions Katy Perry. I'm not sure if this counts though because he mentions her bra and not her music in the song Trumpets.

2. Dexys Midnight Runners mentions Johnny Ray in a song. Let's see who can guess which Dexys Midnight Runners song I'm referring to.

Mrs. Velo has a crush on this guy:

Mrs. JCyclonee has the same crush. She doesn't appreciate me mentioning that he's not that far removed from being the singer dude with too much eyeliner.

I haven't heard Mrs. Velo comment on his latest style choice:

The blond hair and dark neckbeard is an odd look and I hate him because it still looks good on him. I am not jealous.

Jason Derulo also mentions Jason Derulo in pretty much every song he's ever sung.

He may be a bit Narcissistic.

A bit. My ex-wife was a complete narcissist, and even she didn't speak in the 3rd person or name drop herself that much.

I don't think JCyclonee has ever used his name in the third person.

The whole song is about the relationship of Buddy Guy and B.B. King.

We hates it when he does that, my precious.

Pretenders Back on the chain gang used hammering sounds and the chain-gang chant heard during the chorus of the song echoes the earlier production of Sam Cooke's song "Chain Gang"

I'm ashamed I completely forgot about this one. Another awesome 50's R&B artist overlooked by the R&R HOF. 3 of his songs covered by the Beatles, too.

Two from Young Fresh Fellows I don't think I posted (these indirectly came to mind during this week's OTN by @CycloneRulzzz)

This one may seem like a silly throwaway, but it's a larger observation about artists, their art and celebrity obsession/scrutiny.




And then there's this

Eddie Money inviting Ronnie Spector to add the chorus from her old hit into his different song.

Just like Ronnie sang...

Bump. Ronnie just passed away.

 

[Farnsworth]

I'll bet that she knows Billy Joel
'Cause you played her "Uptown Girl"
You're singing it together
Now I bet you even tell her
How you love her
In between the chorus and the verse

 

[MeanDean]

Bump. Ronnie just passed away.

Thanks for bumping. Hard to ever forget Be My Baby. Not only her voice but the Hal Blaine drum part is so great!
