Bowie / Mott the Hoople - All The Young Dudes (Beatles, Stones)

In fact, there must be hundreds if not thousands of songs which mention The Beatles and The Rolling Stones...

[argorstran]

Loads mention the word Queen - Dancing Queen , Queen of Hearts

[MarkRae]

Especially when you think of how many bands have named themselves after their heroes' songs and lyrics, e.g. Radiohead etc.

Oh You Pretty Things by Bowie

[MarkRae]

^^ Apart from "Pretty Things", it also contains a reference to the band Sky, as do a million other songs...

[bluesfan]

Another Dexys Midnight Runners song was Come On Eileen - "Poor old Johnny Ray".

[The Builder]

I guess The The would be the winners ;o)

[factor-fiction]

Wasn't the a song by The Raspberries in the 70s that mentioned loads of groups. And there was all those Barron Knights 'comedy' songs.

There must be lots of songs that mention 'love', 'yes', 'hello', 'kiss' and 'pink' etc but maybe those don't count as they weren't actually referring to the groups.
