[Lady Whistledown]

"Let there be a lesson, question
You carry protection
Or will your heart go on
Like Celine Dion - Karma Chameleon"

(Bomfunk MCs- Freestyler)


"The golden years
The silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down
You spin me around
I'm on the borderline
Crying at the discotheque"

(Alcazar)

See how this one works...?

 

[Man of Harveys]

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime

 

[crodonilson]

Doctor what is happening to me?
Palpatations my minds diseased
Even my vision is impaired
I'm a millionaire

'Caus when I hold her in my arms I feel like Fred Astaire

(James)

[Bluejuice]

I can do what you do, easy, BELIEVE ME
Frontin' niggas give me hee-bee-gee-bees
So while you're imitating Al Capone
I'll be Nina Simone
And defacating on your microphone.

 

[Gwylan]

Some people try to pick up girls and get called asshole
Pablo Picasso was never called asshole

There's that Billy Joel song (we didn't start the fire?) with loads of names in it

 

[Man of Harveys]

If you gave me a pound for the moments I missed
And I got dancing lessons for all the lips I shoulda kissed
I'd be a millionaire
I'd be a Fred Astaire

 

[REDLAND]

A ganja smoker, herb cultivator, the world champion spliff maker
Build a ziggy so big I use a hundred and fifty-two packets of rizla paper
I sparked it up in the U.K you could smell the vapors in Jamaica
Slam-dunked a hole in my brain like Kobe Bryant playing for the Lakers
I process hydrophonic data, smoke sensamelia by the acre
It never affects my breathing my lungs are exercise like Mr. Motivator
Getting stoned on a rizla cone inside of a skyscraper
I'd rather be a herbaholic than an alcoholic narcotic class-a drug taker
Listen to my words, ganja is natural herb grown for the earth
It used to be associated with Rastafarians who praised Haile Selassie at the first
It's not only smoked by vegetarian Rastafarians
It's smoked by the Aries Taurus Gemini Cancers Leos Virgos , Sagittariuns
Librans Scorpions Capricorns Pisces and the Aquarians
Everyone in the Zodiac I'm sure they're not all black and Rastafarians
People have been smoking herb since the earth's first days
It grows on Solomon's grave
Even when Jesus was crucified you could see his eyes were glazed

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Intergalatic - Beastie Boys - mentions Mr Spock if that counts

Lynard Skynard in Sweet Home Alabama having a pop at Neil Young's Southern Man...definitely the best two songs on this thread so far

A southern man dont need him around anyhow
