Several mentioning 'Christopher Columbus'.
(I like NY in June)"How About You" - which as well as 'Gershwin', has
'Franklin Roosevelt' (or another name, depending on the performer).
James' - Just Like Fred Astaire.

Upstairs & Ginger Snappers', from their 1974 album 'Tasty' (Warner Brothers
#SB2813). LOL!
If you're old enough, or watch old movies, you'll know that this refers to the
famous dance team of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!
I imagine this group will come up with a very long list of songs with famous
people in the lyrics.
By the way, Elton John sang 'Candle In The Wind', from the 'Goodbye Yellow
Brick Road' album. The song refers to Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jean). Does the
new version count as referring to Princess Diana, even though she is not named
in the song? I have two names for the song in my files:
Candle In The Wind - Lady Di
Candle In The Wind (Goodbye England's Rose)
but I'm not sure which one is correct.

Ron Hawkins and the Rusty Nails - "Taboo"
When you dance like Salome, with my head upon your tray,
You're the devil's spawn in blue chiffon, a satanic Doris Day.
The Jazzabels - "I Wish That I Could Sing Like Johnny Cash"
I would give up all those hours of music class, if I could learn to sing
like Johnny Cash.
Tom Robinson - "Back In The Old Country"
Met a Sid Vicious lookalike and he was six foot four
Had spikes on his dog collar made of solder
He was sitting in Bewley's caff in a dirty old gaberdine mac
He was 17 but he looked about ten years older.
Marvelous 3 - "Freak Of The Week"
Got a shrink he swears he's Elvis I think,
He wears the coolest suede shoes when I come in with the blues.
Al Stewart - "Josephine Baker"
I was born too late to see Josephine Baker dancing in a Paris cabaret...
Al Stewart - "Year Of The Cat"
On a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turned back time,
You go strolling through the crowds like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime.
Leonard Cohen - "Tower Of Song"
I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.
Queen - "Killer Queen"
Let them eat cake, she says, just like Marie Antoinette.

You say Coke, I say Cain, You say John, I say Wayne.
Cinderella - "Shelter Me"
Tipper led the war against the record industry, said she saw the devil on
her MTV.
John Wesley Harding - "Bastard Son"
Bob Dylan is my father, Joan Baez is my mother, and I'm their bastard son.
Steve Rachelle - "American Hair Band"
Gimme Johnny Crash, grunge bands are trash, I like C.C. Deville, Mick Mars
and Slash.
Shawn Mullins - "Lullabye"
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper, Bob Seger and Sonny and Cher.
Tonio K - "The Funky Western Civilization"
They put Jesus on a cross, they put a hole in JFK, they put Hitler in the
driver's seat and looked the other way.

rap, Red Sovine or T. Texas Tyler has everyone beat. Hell, grampa Jones did
"Blue" in the thirties, but I think he was trying to sing.
But if you add a beat...Life is a Rock.
However, if Rap isn't rap without turntables and samples, the first hit rap
was "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang, 1979.

I'm surprised that noone has yet mentioned "You Get What You Give" by
the New Radicals. The speil at the end makes mention of Beck, Hanson,
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson.
The other one that's worth a mention is "Nightshift" by the
Commodores:
"Marvin, he was this friend of mine,
And he could sing a song,
His heart in every line..."
Was that a reference to Marvin Gaye? If so, who is "Jackie" who was
mentioned in the second verse of that song?

A bit eighties and probably a bit UK... and probably not that famous now
but....
Many UK famous people can be found in...a good number of the tracks on the
album "Back In The DHSS" by the seminal UK band Half Man Half Biscuit
Tracks include... the wonderful "I Hate Nerys Hughes" and "99% of Gargoyles
look like Bob Todd" to name but a few
Also...
"John Kettley is a weatherman" by Tribe of Toffs which not only mentions
John himself but also several other weather people such as Ian McGaskill
(sic) and Wincy Willis
"Albert Hoffmans Bike"... by The Family Cat also springs to mind....
