The new Paul Weller song *really* sounds like a homage to Norman Whiteside:

The chorus is "Oh Norman Whiteside, Whiteside, Whiteside, coming down on me", I will accept no other interpretation of it.

I always remember Baker and Kelly enjoying this from The Lion King:

There's an early Fela Kuti song about Millwall, as well, but I can't find it.

Of course, there's this old favourite from the mid-seventies:

"If Billy Bonds should ever write my life story..."

About 16 minutes into "Beasts Of No Nation", Fela seems to start singing about Chris Waddle, and how he's going to "kill them students". I know he's from the north east, but even so, that seems a little bit out of character.

I've spent way too much time trying to find the Fela Kuti Millwall song, but I found it:

"Millwall, put it in the air.
Millwall, put it in the air.
Millwall, la la la la, Millwall.
Millwall"

Have never been able to hear the lyrics of Golden Brown by The Stranglers as anything but:

Golden brown
Texture like sun
Lays me down
With my Mike Sheron

Listen to tracks by Sam Therapy and King Dice"

I always hear Sam Allardyce in there somehow.

What about Harry Kewell?"
