NeatThingsThatILike:Songs that Mention Other Songs

I think you have to be a fan of Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin) to appreciate the lengthy song, "Konstantine." I am a fan, so I effing love it.

Something Corporate - Konstantine


As an added bonus, I am also a fan of bands who mention other bands/songs in their songs. This works out quite nicely for me because right around the 5:52 mark we get the verse that says:

it's to jimmy eat world
and those nights in my car
when the first star you see
may not be a star
I'm not your star
isn't that what you said?
what you thought this song meant

Found the song:

Jimmy Eat Word - For Me This is Heaven


On a related note, I still (it's been what, like 7 years?) get a kick out of when Jesse Lacey of Brand New and John Nolan of Taking Back Sunday each wrote songs about their last telephone conversation. FFWD to 2:00 in Seventy Times Seven and 2:22 in "There's no 'I' in Team."

Brand New - Seventy Times Seven


Taking Back Sunday - There's No 'I' in Team
