[Mike]

I will give 250 Tokens for each correct set of answers

Name 6 tracks in which the lyrics mention other bands or artists

For Example:
Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple mentions Frank Zappa

Rules:
- You must list the artist, name of the song and the band refered to in the lyrics
- It must be a well known song
- The competition will run until we run out of answers, or until the end of November

Go one have a go, it's easy this one ;-)

And again,
Thanks Mike

It's not that easy....However....

Ian Dury's Reasons To Be Cheerful mentions Buddy Holly. Wee Willy Harris and John Coltrane.
Mott The Hoople's All The Young Dudes has Beatles. Stones and TREX.
Lynrd Skynrd's Sweet Home Alabama slags off Neil Young.
In Eric Clapton's Riding With The King; BB King says his own name!!!
Dire Straits has Calling Elvis.
And finally, Steely Dan's Everything You Did contains the line "turn up the Eagles the neighbours are listening"

Checkin' out Guitar George, he knows some of the chords....

Reasons to be cheerful also mentions Smokey ;-)

Im a BIG Ian Dury fan, In my opinion his best song was Spasticus Autisticus. It was a brave and funny song about himself. Funny enough you never hear it on the radio

Well done I'll add the 250 Tokens to your account
