A few more songs that mention Brian Wilson: Tears for Fears: Brian Wilson said Breakup Shoes: Brian Wilson is my Dad Itchy Teeth: Brian Wilson is still alive
"Elvis is Everywhere" - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper. What a great song! Two in one: "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" - Whistling Jack Smith, 1967.
"Johnny Mathis's Feet" - American Music Club "Andy's Chest" - Lou Reed "Neal Cassady Drops Dead" - Morrissey (Cassady being the real life Dean Moriarty) "Hey Kerouac" - 10,000 Maniacs "Lighten Up Morrissey" - Sparks "Edith Piaf (Said It Better Than Me)" - Sparks "The Ghost of Liberace" - Sparks "(When I Kiss You) I Hear Charlie Parker Playing" - Sparks "Mr. Wilson" - John Cale "Church of Wilson" - Cotton Mather "Thank You Mr. Churchill" = Peter Frampton "Stuffin' Martha's Muffin" - Mo Jo Nixon & Skid Roper (the Martha in question being MTV VJ Martha Quinn)
Not the same thing at all. This one asks for the name in the title. Not just in the song as these others do. Linking other threads in judgment to discount a current thread has always been annoying. I just don’t understand the purpose. But when it’s not even the same thread, it’s worse.
Besides the Eagles hit, there was this gem. I know he recorded a variation on it because it showed up on the 1971 "Great American Dream Machine" PBS program, but I can't find any evidence of it on the web.
