Songs with names of famous people

[jchitty]

This morning on the radio, I heard the old song, "Bette Davis Eyes." I always loved that song. Another song I like is, "David Duchovny, Why Don't You Love Me?" (think that's the title)Does anyone here have a song they could list with the name(s) of famous people?

About 100 of them are in Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire."http://www.teacheroz.com/fire.htmWhat's with Joe DiMaggio? He's in "We Didn't Start the Fire," "Vogue," "Mrs. Robinson" (Simon and Garfunkel) and who knows how many other songs.

This is a tribute song written by an amazing bass player by the name of Victor Wooten. In it, he references a number of famous bass players that have contributed to music over the years, and does some pretty convincing samples of how each player played, during the tune. Name of the tune: Bass tribute http://music.aol.com/album/soul-circus/ ... 47561.html ibanez468

Here's a twist to this. What if we add songs that have maded people famous or infamous by using their name? Humor me Sharona Alperin made known in "My Sharona" by The Knack
