It isn't easy being as fucking famous as I am. Not everyone can get away with smoking weed whenever they want, naming your kid something totally fucked up, or barging up on stage and bitchslap Taylor Swift. And Kim doesn't let just any ghetto rat pound her big, juicy ass. But sometimes the bad shit kinda fucks everything up... like having people from TMZ hiding in my jacuzzi, having to put up with being a Merry Man on this piece of shit message board, and having people write songs about you. Fuck that! If I wanna be sunged about, I'll do it my own damn self! Here's a dozen... no, wait, 12 songs that put a famous dude in the title. Lucky for them, nobody put Kanye's name in a song yet, or I'dda never let them finish before I busted their gold teeth out of their fucking skull...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. Woo-hoo, and you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

Buddy Holly - Weezer

2. Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold

Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes

3. If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldnt that be cool
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a pile?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while

If I'm an Alien, How Do You Explain Jerry Lee Lewis?- Elvis Presley

Yes, even handcuffed by an iPad, I still commit to a bit....

4. It's Sunday night, I am curled up in my room
The TV light fills up my heart like a balloon
I hold it in as best I can
I know I'm just another fan
But I can't help feeling I could love this secret agent man

David Duchovny - Some No Hit Never Was

5. Beyond the suns that guard this roof,
Beyond your flowers of flaming truths,
Beyond your latest ad campaigns,
An old man sits collecting stamps
In a room all filled with Chinese lamps.
He saves what others throw away.
He says that he'll be rich some day

6. We're getting safer cars
Rocket ships to Mars
From men who'd sell us out
To get themselves a piece of power

7. I`m in heaven, I`m in heaven
I`m in heaven, when you smile
When you smile, when you smile
When you smile

Jackie Wilson Said - Van Morrison

Love this, doesn't get the credit it should due to some overrated VM stuff...

8. I ain`t happy, I`m feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I`m useless,but not for long
The future is coming on

Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz

Does this even count as a real band?

9. It's a matter of instinct
It's a matter of conditioning
It's a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's dog

Brian Wilson -Bare Naked Ladies

I'll bet Esto started salivating (ha!) as soon as he read the intro....and right about now he got really pissed....

10. Born on a mountain in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
He killed him a b'ar when he was only three

Davy Crockett - Ed Ames

Born on a mountain TOP.....every kid knew that. And, if I wasn't on this damned screen, I'd share the dirty lyrics version that we thought was high-larious....

11. You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
On backroads at night

12. You think you're so bad
Drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all down
With the flash of your pearly smile
Honey, but you met
Your match tonight, oh, that's right

Just Like Jesse James - Cher

Might be my fave Cher song, with the possible exception of Geronimo's Cadillac



Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains a non-fictional famous person's first and last name in the title.

The Ballad of Dwight Frye - Alice Cooper Group

Torn between this and Grace Kelly, but I decided to go for degree of difficulty over style points....

5 Point Bonus: What popular classic sitcom was the inspiration for the music video of Song #1?

Happy Days

Everytime I see your Avatar I think "Really? Collins is the first?".
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.
~~ Thomas Jefferson

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
