Anyone help with songs that mention famous people who were married to other famous people?
So far I've got "Owe it all to Frank Sinatra" Crowded House; "Madam Onassis got nothing on you" Rod Stewart and "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?" Simon & Garfunkel.
Would prefer any suggestions to be pre 1990.
Thanks.

Ichkeria - Just mention famous people married to someone famous as per the lyrics I quoted in my question. Although there have been some good suggestions posted, most of the people mentioned, although well known in their own right, wouldn’t have you saying “oh yeah, wasn’t he/she married to [that other well known person]”.
Cold Dog Soup by Guy Clark Gives the nod to Tom Waits
Gwen Stefani - Rich Girl mentions Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano.
Oh do they have to be married to someone famous as well? In that case Vivienne Westwood was married to Malcolm McLaren... were they married actually? I don't know lol..
How very complicated!

It's already been said, "We didn't start the fire", but have a look at this. I think it's great. http://yeli.us/Flash/Fire.html
