Outkast - Rosa Parks (Aquemini cd)

Nice work.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

Rawk - I didn't even think of Billy Joel.  That's insane.  I think I'll award 7 points per song just for sanity's sake of scoring.  So, when the dust clears, I'll have to listen to The Against Me song.  It's great to infuriate Axel
.  Rawk - 28

Brand X - Wow.  Nice work.  Quite creative.  Did Wanbli post 1 Dylan song and 2 Weird Al cuts or was that you?  Did the song above mention Prince as The Artist Formerly Known As...?  Just curious.  Your total is 20. 

Wanbli - for Weird Al and Dylan, you have 17

August1-Way to go on the Gorillaz stuff!  You took out a number of great names in that remix track.  18 points...(all in song titles)???

You're showing me up.  On the spot.  I'll post mine at the end of the week.

The Dylan and both Weird Al songs belong to Wanbli.

The Babybird track refers specifically to "the Artist Formerly Known as Prince."  (You ain't butter, you ain't harry, you ain't even the artist formerly known as Prince)

Reagan Youth - Reagan Youth

We are the sons of Reagan heil
We're gonna kill all pagans heil
The right's our sacred mission
We'll start an inquisition
We're gonna purge the heathen kind

Haha!  Rawkiddo started the fire with that one...dang!  Great game. 

Bob Dylan "Tombstone Blues"

The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
But the town has no need to be nervous.

A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
At the head of the chamber of commerce.

Mama's in the fact'ry
She ain't got no shoes
Daddy's in the alley
He's lookin' for fuse
I'm in the kitchen
With the tombstone blues.

Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief

The geometry of innocence flesh on the bone
Causes Galileo's math book to get thrown
At Delilah who sits worthlessly alone
But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter.

Where Ma Raney and Beethoven once unwrapped their bed roll

The Paul Revere namedrop made me think of...

Beastie Boy's Oh the references might be endless (Paul Revere of course, but...)

"3 MCs and 1 DJ"...Kenny Rogers' Gambler is my gambling theme

"The New Style"...and I got more juice than Picasso got paint

"Rhymin & Stealin"...Ali Babba and the fourty theives, Black Beard's weak, Moby Dick's on the tick, deliver Colonel Sanders down to Davey Jones locker 

"Johny Ryall" Mentions Donald Trump

What'cha want" Eddie Harris

"Hey Ladies" Chuck Woolery

I give, but someone could roll with this...

I will roll with this.....

Hey Ladies:

Tom Thumb

Tom Cushman

Scott Baio.....aka Chachi

Kotter from welcome back kotter

Vincent Van Gogh and his ear

Damnit why didn't I remember the Tom's...Foolery I say!

Oh, and the rap version of we didnt start the fire.........Word Association by 7L and Esoteric. I think I should get bonus points for Crocodile - Dundee

Okay, one more BBoys ..."Shadrach"

SHADRACH MESACH ABEDNAGO
Steal from the rich and I'm out robbing banks
Give to the poor and I always give thanks
Got more stories that J.D. Salinger
I hold the title and you are the challenger
I've got money like Charles Dickens
Got the girlies in the Couple like the Colonel's got the chickens
Always go out dapper like Harry S. Truman
I'm madder than Mad's Alfred E. Newman
Never gonna let them say that I don't love you
My noggin is hoggin all kinds of thoughts
Adam Yoggin is Yauch and he's rockin of course
Smoke the holy chalice got my own religion
Rally round the stage and check the funky dope musicians
Jerry Lee Swaggert or Jerry Lee Falwell
You love Mario Andretti cause he always drives his car well
Vicious circle of reality since the day you were born
And we love the hot butter on what the popcorn
Sippin on wine and mackin
Rockin on the stage with all the hands clappin
Ride the wave of fate it don't ride me
Being very proud to be an M.C.
And the man upstairs I hope that he cares
If I had a penny for my thoughts I'd be a millionaire
Amps and crossovers under my rear hood
The bass is bumpin from the back of my Fleetwood Brougham D'Elegance
They tell us what to do hell no
SHADRACH MESACH ABEDNAGO

If You Want A Doodoo Rhyme Then Come See Me
I've Got The Savoir Faire With The Unique Rhyme
And
I Keep It On And On, It's Never Quitting Time And
Strictly Hand Held Is The Style I Go
Never Rock The Mic With The Panty Hose
I Strap On My Ear Goggles And I'm Ready To Go
'Cause At The Boards Is The Man They Call The
Mario
Pull Up At The Function And You Know I Kojak
To All The Party People That Are On My Bozak
I've Got More Action Than My Man John Woo
And I've Got Mad Hits Like I Was Rod Carew


You Can't, You Won't And You Don't Stop
Ad Rock Come And Rock The Sure Shot


Hurricane Will Cross Fade On Your Ass And
Bust Your Ear Drums
Listen Everybody 'Cause I'm Shifting Gears I'm
Fresh Like Dougie When I Set My Specs And

Top Notch Is My Stock On The Soap Box
I've Got More Rhymes Than I've Got Grey Hairs
And That's A Lot Because I've Got My Share
I've Got A Hole In My Head And There's No One
To Fix It
Got To Straighten My Thoughts, I'm Thinking Too
Much Sick Shit
Everyone Just Takes and Takes, Takes, Takes,
Takes

I Want To Say a Little Something That's Long
Overdue
The Disrespect To Women Has Got To Be Through
To All The Mothers And Sisters A And The
Wives And Friends
I Want To Offer My Love And Respect To The
End
Well You Say I'm Twenty Something And Should
Be Slacking
But I'm Working Harder Than Ever And You Could
Call It Macking
So I'm Supposed To Sit Upon My Couch Watching My
T.V.
I'm Still Listening To Wax, I'm Not Using The CD
I'm That Kid In The Corner
All Fucked Up And I Wanna So I'm Gonna
Take A Piece Of The Pie, Why Not, I'm Not Quitting
Think I'm Gonna Change Up My Style Just To Fit In
I Keep My Underwear Up With A Piece Of Elastic
I Use A Bullshit Mic That's Made Out Of Plastic
To Send My Rhymes Out To All Nations
Like Ma Bell, I've Got The Ill Communications

The lyrics are flowing to mind now.

Elton John - Goodbye Norma Jean

From the past 8 hours...

Rawk - OK - 10 points for referencing Rawkus and CD.  Great reference there.  Your total is now up to 45 points

Sunshine - You get most of the BBoys points because you've got so many songs in your head!  No can do on the REM reference although Pavement's The Unseen Power of the Picket Fence sings about REM's legacy and is one of my favorites of theirs.  There is a song out there titled Michael Stipe by P...???  Can anyone clarify?  It was on a CMJ comp. years ago.  Total points: 71

Contraband has 7 points.

Don't forget to con't looking at through all of these references and yes, Bold is Very Good

Another:

Range Life - Pavement (Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins)

Originally, when it was just the home recordings, it was Baby Bird, but when the band got involved it became Babybird, so, it is kind of both.  Most of the time I just type it as one word, though.

Just to be clear (from earlier), regardless of what you believe, Jesus was historically proven to have lived - so in essence, he is a famous person and not mythological.

Onto the points

Sunshine - pulling out some good ones.  I didn't even know Clutch had a song titled Willie Nelson.  My college roommate was/is big into Clutch still!  98 points

Contraband - 24 points

Cody B. - 7 points, R&B and hip-hop are great places to check for this sort of stuff...

Brand X - I'll pass on Frances Farmer...refers to Frances Bean...but great job finding some good ones.  You're in the lead.  119 points. 

Still have some time.  PS - vacation begins for me in about 24 hours so we'll extend this till I return - next Saturday 7/26

Sunshine - 105 points!

So why do bands referenced in lyrics not count as famous musicians? That doesn't make sense to me but then again it's your game Eric, lol. Fun game though.
