I was going to make this list based solely on the discovery of Frank Zappa’s Bobby Brown (Goes Down), but alas, it is not about this guy:

Even still, I thought it would be fun anyway to collect (More Than) A Handful Of… Songs Named After Famous People.  Enjoy, or care less, which I will do in tandem with you.

• Beastie Boys – Paul Revere

• David Bowie – Andy Warhol

• Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand

• Fenix TX – Phoebe Cates

• Goldfinger – Wayne Gretzky

• Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood

• MIKA – Grace Kelly

• Outkast – Rosa Parks

• The Postal Service – Clark Gable

• Scissor Sisters – Paul McCartney

• Sufjan Stevens – John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (this one is creepy, natch…)

• Taylor Swift – Tim McGraw

• Weezer – Buddy Holly

(SIDENOTE: Obviously, this is not all of the songs named after famous people.  I almost put Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus, Herman’s Hermits’ I’m Henry the Eighth, I Am and Kim Carnes’ Bette Davis Eyes, but their titles contain ancillary words.)
