Does anyone know how many songs have the name James Dean in the lyrics?

Well, for a starter, there's the appropriately-titled 'James Dean (I Wanna Know )' by Daniel Bedingfield, a recent UK chart hit. I'm sure that some other helpful trivia fanatics can think of some more. Oct 24 02, 9:12 PM

There's a Half Man Half Biscuit song '99% of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd' that contains the lyric: "James Dean was just a careless driver and Marilyn Monroe was just a slag" ... and whilst not in a lyric, the Morrissey video for 'Seudehead' is basically built about James Dean. It features his home town, site of death, grave, etc. Oct 25 02, 7:55 AM

John Cougar Mellencamp had a line in 'Jack and Diane' that said "Scratches his head and does his best James Dean." Oh yeah, there was another I just remembered. It's an old song ... Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side' had a line that said, "Thought she was James Dean for a day." Sep 14 08, 8:27 AM
