Been done before I know but not for a while I don't think. I think the last time that we did this I hardly recognised any of the bands/artists being mentioned

At the time, Mick Jagger was often put forward as the person being referred to in the title of Carly Simon's single "You're so Vain"

In fact he was a backing singer on the record and can clearly be heard on the backing chorus, especially towards the end of the record.

Yes but... Eminem sampled Labi Siffre and the session musicians on the Labi Siffre song "I Got The" were Chas and Dave!

The Buddy Holly song Peggy Sue was originally going to be called Mary Lou but drummer Jerry Allison was trying to woo (fifties speak) a girl called Peggy Sue and persuaded Holly to change the title. Alison then invited Peggy Sue to a concert and they premiered the song with her in the audience. Just how cool is that, if you were Peggy Sue
