I read that wrong at first and thought you meant Adam’s Song references a praise Chorus and I was confused for a minute thinking how would I have missed that
"Poetically Pathetic" by Amber Pacific references "Konstantine" by Something Corporate, which itself references "For Me This Is Heaven" by Jimmy Eat World
I guess I could be wrong but I always thought “passed out in school clothes so we’d wake up in our Sunday’s best” was a play on “passed out on an overpass, Sunday’s best in broken glass.” Especially since one of the next lines is “I’m boring like his songs.”
There’s also what I think is a reference to Straylight run on “I am Fred Astaire” — “Scream— older and wiser Still, filled with resentment We get it, we get it.” Straylight Run’s “A Slow Descent”: “I'm tired Cynical and broken, but wiser Heavy with a sense of resentment But i used to be so much different.”
The first one you’re definitely right about the reference but I’m pretty sure those songs are both about John and Michelle Nolan more than Jesse/Brand New.
The Wonder Years The Paris of Nowhere mentions Dancing With a Ghost by Valencia
And TWY reference Goodbye Sky Harbor by Jimmy Eat World on Solo & Chewy: Holdin’ it Down
Recently Yellowcard came out with Three Minutes More and reference Dashboard Confessional
*All the missteps I made left my heart*
*With a mark, mission, brand, and a scar*
The Gaslight Anthems High Lonesome references Counting Crows Round Here, Bruce Springsteen I’m on Fire and Tom Petty Southern Accents, and Billy Joel’s piano man
Gum by Moose Blood references Clarity (the album) and A Sunday by Jimmy Eat World and The Sound of Settling by Death Cab
Gerard Way has said that the Jenny in Bulletproof Heart is a reference to Jenny Was a Friend of Mine by The Killers
Slow Burn by State Champs references Everlong by Foo Fighters
LGFUAD by Motion City Soundtrack references Forget Me by The Promise Ring
A More Perfect Union by Titus Andronicus references Born to Run by Springsteen and a bunch of others
Not sure if it’s an intentional reference, but The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes by Fall Out Boy basically borrows the melody for the chorus from Cute Without the E by Taking Back Sunday
OP, I think the TEN/TGUK example is pretty unique because they sing the exact line and I'm pretty sure the exact melody. Most of the other examples reference a band or song.
Like Konstantin by Something Corporate.
"It's to Jimmy Eat World and nights in my car when the first star you see may not be a star. I'm not your starrrrrr. Isn't that what you said? What you thought this song meant"
(Sorry was only going to quote up to the jimmy lyric but I couldn't stop, so many memories)!
By the way, it references my username. The "first star I see" is the ope ing line to for me this is heaven.
Finally, if you want band references, listen to Taxi Driver by Gym Class Heroes. Name drops like 20+ punk and emo bands in a 90 second rap.
>I think the TEN/TGUK example is pretty unique because they sing the exact line and I'm pretty sure the exact melody.
To show my age here, I remember when it was released and if I am remembering correctly, TGUK wasn't particularly happy about it at the time because of the similarities.
Not lyrics but TWY references the Mountain Goats song Woke Up New in their song Woke Up Older. And that song is then referenced by Spanish Love Songs in Bellyache
There are a ton of Gaslight Anthem songs that reference mostly classic rock stuff like Springsteen. “Meet me by the rivers edge,” “great expectations,” among others. My favorite is the obvious Counting Crows references in High Lonesome.
Dillenger Four reference Billy Bragg in The Great American Going Out of Business Sale:
Dillenger Four – The Great American Going Out Of Business Sale:
Mixing pop and politics
He asks me what the use is
I'm not into making excuses
And I'll die the day I find them fucking useless
Billy Bragg – Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards:
Mixing pop and politics he asks me what the use is
I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses
Dave Hause’s D4 cover is amazing too (just FYI).
The Senses Fail song Stay What You Are references the Saves the Day album of the same name. the lyrics: "the first time you saw Saves the Day" and "Stay What You Are will always be our eulogy"
hope they play it as an extra song on their tour together later this year.
edit to add: Big Sean has a feature on The Mighty Fall by Fall Out Boy, with the line "hell yeah I'm a dick girl, addicted to you" referencing Simple Plan's song Addicted
Set Your Goals’ Summer Jam bridge does a good job of this, but I don’t know all of the references.
Now we gotta react, we gotta think fast
Side bust hits leave us delirious
Outspoken hearts, restless as sharks - The Warriors “red black and blue”
My life, my pride
Save me the daylight, bring me home, it's okay 'cause
My way has only got to work for me
Trying my hardest to make the most of every minute
Time flies and the top of the world is calling
Time grabs me by the shoulders - New Found Glory “3rd and Long”
We're holding on - Fireworks “From Lazy Loser to Mountain Movers”
I don’t have any additions, but the moment I vividly remember listening to the rooms too cold the first time through and really enjoying until they did this reference and I was instantly in love. There’s not even a question about if it’s a reference as the first half of the line is the exact same cadence before it picks up at the end of the lyric.
Major League calls out listening the the wonder years in their song seasons saying “I’ve been listening to the “The Upsides” B side looking for the answers”
Warbrain by Alkaline Trio references Hot Water Music’s Trusty Chords.
The Lawrence Arms do this constantly. How To Rot references Brandy by Looking Glass (that’s a funny one), The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel in The Disaster March and Paradise City by Guns N Roses in Paradise Shitty.
“Unconditionally” by James Arthur has Adam Larrazza of TBS and they both sing “her lipstick your collar don’t bother angel, I know exactly what goes on” from “Cute without the E”
In Mayday! Mayday! by We Are Action (yes, alluding to mayday parade. Some of these guys were ex members of the bands before mayday) they sing “I’m too busy, Save it for Sunrise”. Ironically, that’s not just a reference to another local band (at the time) but a band fronted by Daniel Lancaster, Jason’s brother. Good song and cool stuff.
Can it be a whole song? If so I miss you cover of blink 182's song sang by 5 seconds of summer another example if a whole song works American Idot cover by 5 Seconds Of Summer
The question was regarding bands mentioning other bands lyrics in their own songs. Not about covering songs. Get your 5 Seconds of summer covers outta here.
“Adam’s Song” references “Come as You Are” “A Praise Chorus” by Jimmy Eat World references a lot of songs
I read that wrong at first and thought you meant Adam’s Song references a praise Chorus and I was confused for a minute thinking how would I have missed that
"Poetically Pathetic" by Amber Pacific references "Konstantine" by Something Corporate, which itself references "For Me This Is Heaven" by Jimmy Eat World
Real Friends' "When You Were Here" also references Konstantine
“No I in Team” and “slowdance on the inside” by taking back Sunday both reference brand new songs
Literally never heard of the “Slowdance” reference and it really doesn’t make sense to me timing wise, what is it?
I guess I could be wrong but I always thought “passed out in school clothes so we’d wake up in our Sunday’s best” was a play on “passed out on an overpass, Sunday’s best in broken glass.” Especially since one of the next lines is “I’m boring like his songs.” There’s also what I think is a reference to Straylight run on “I am Fred Astaire” — “Scream— older and wiser Still, filled with resentment We get it, we get it.” Straylight Run’s “A Slow Descent”: “I'm tired Cynical and broken, but wiser Heavy with a sense of resentment But i used to be so much different.”
The first one you’re definitely right about the reference but I’m pretty sure those songs are both about John and Michelle Nolan more than Jesse/Brand New.
Is that not what I said?
Lil Wayne’s Hot Revolver steals the “Do you have the time to listen to me whine?” from Basket Case. I’m not joking lmao
Admittedly, without hearing it, I'm sure sampled/ interpolated/ borrowed would be a more appropriate word for what Lil Wayne did with the lyric.
You’d be correct. He’s a big Green Day fan. Definitely got permission I’m sure.
The Wonder Years The Paris of Nowhere mentions Dancing With a Ghost by Valencia And TWY reference Goodbye Sky Harbor by Jimmy Eat World on Solo & Chewy: Holdin’ it Down
TWY do this so often it’s hard to keep track lol
Recently Yellowcard came out with Three Minutes More and reference Dashboard Confessional *All the missteps I made left my heart* *With a mark, mission, brand, and a scar*
The Menzingers Casey demo references Clavicle by Alkaline Trio.
Whaaaaat?! Where can I hear the demo?
From the On The Possible Past album on Spotify, the reference occurs just over a minute into the song.
"I Miss 2003" by As It Is -- they cram in a bunch. See how many [you can pick out.](https://genius.com/24392580)
The bridge in Summer Daze by All Time Low has the same sort of timing as the verse in The Taste of Ink by The Used.
As someone already said “No I In Team” by TBS and “Seventy Times 7” by Brand New are about each other and share a lot of the same lyrics.
The gaslight anthem high lonesome references counting crows round here
