susie b Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Since Ira & Pretender got things on a roll with their great posts, let's try another musical brain teaser... How many songs can you name in which the band sings about or mentions another band, musician or singer? I'll get us started... No surprises from Susie...here's Nick...talking about The Bay City Rollers and how to get out of a contract?????Nick talks about how he tried to get fired by writing such a stupid song, but of course record companies being who & what they are.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneNR Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Aw, no sweat!! Easily for me the BEST one is Adam Levine of Maroon 5 !!!!!! . . . I don't much care for the body graffiti, but Adam has got such a distinctive voice so I pay attention to that mostly . . . of course the parody for this is funny AnneNR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susie b Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 The Immigrant by Neil Sedaka My understanding is that Sedaka wrote this song for John Lennon when he was having problems with US Immigration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
