I really got into the new band Bush right away, and I was absoloutely
jazzed to come up with a David Bowie reference right away. In the song
Life on Mars, the lyrics go "Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow, and
Lennon's on sale again". In the new Bush song Everything's Zen there are
lyrics that read, "Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow, Dave's on sale again".
I was so excited I rushed over and called my local alternative station
and the guy (who is British by the way) that I talked to called me
"absoloutely brilliant" and then played the two songs back to back on the
air. I suppose it's kinda lame, but it does'nt take much to excite me!

That Bush X band steels alot of lyrics from every band out there. Prime
example is with Jane's Addition.
