Results: Name-Dropping in Song
Name-dropping in song is fairly common. For example, in "Sweet Home Alabama", Lynyrd Skynyrd sang about Neil Young. Shania Twain mentioned Brad Pitt in "That Don't Impress me Much". And in "Smoke on the Water", Deep Purple gave a shout-out to Frank Zappa and the Rolling Stones.
