Real Lyrics -> Song Lyrics That Name Check Celebrities -> Bob Dylan

If you have song lyrics that name check celebrities for a song use the below form to send it in. No sexually explicit entries. They will not be added.

I'm not talking about songs that just name someone (there's more than I could ever list). I'm referring to songs that name someone famous or well known. For instance the Beastie Boys "name check" Abe Vigoda in "Posse in Effect".

Check out the index or search for other performers.

Bob Dylan's, "I Shall Be Free"
The Lyrics:
My phone was ringing, it would not stop,
It's President Kennedy callin' me up.
He said, "My friend Bob, what do we need to make the country grow?"
I said, "My friend John, Brigitte Bardot,
Anita Eckberg,
Sofia Loren.
Country'll grow."
Who They Mention:
John F. Kennedy, Brigitte Bardot, Anita Eckberg, and Sofia Loren. Bardot, Eckberg, and Loren were all European sex symbols who were popular around the time "I Shall Be Free" came out (early 1960s)

Bob Dylan's, "I Shall Be Free"
The Lyrics:
Well, ya ask me why I'm drunk all the time,
It levels my head and eases my mind.
I walk along and stroll and sing,
See better days and do better things.
I chase dinosaurs,
Make love to Elizabeth Taylor,
Catch hell from Richard Burton.
Who They Mention:
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. They were a well-known movie star couple back when this song was written.
