Real Lyrics -> Song Lyrics That Name Check Celebrities -> Tears For Fears

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".

Tears For Fears', "Mothers Talk (Beat of the Drum Mix)"
The Lyrics:
James Brown, James Brown, James Brown, James Brown
Who They Mention:
This is a remix of a single from "Songs From the Big Chair" and is found on the deluxe edition CD reissue. This song is mostly instrumental, but in parts of it Roland Orzabal is heard repeating "James Brown" in the background. This shout-out to the Hardest Working Man in Show Business isn't heard in the original version of the song.
