I'll add one more:

The Monkees- Randy Scouse git

It's a story about a party that The Beatles held for Monkees.
"The four kings of E.M.I.
Are sitting stately on the floor"

"Randy": Horny, in search of sex.
"Scouser": A person from Liverpool
"Git": Sort of a jerk, or an idiot.

Isnīt it about Buddy Holly?

"But february made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.

I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died."

They (him, Bib Bopper and Richie Valenz) died february 3 1959, and Buddy had recently married. One paper had the headline "The day that music died" the next day.
