Kinks - Celluloid Heroes - YouTube

Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star,
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are.
There are stars in every city,
In every house and on every street,
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete!

Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard,
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne,
But she turned her back on stardom,
Because she wanted to be alone.

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive,
And he looks up ladies' dresses as they sadly pass him by.
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
'Cause he's liable to turn and bite,
But stand close by Bette Davis
Because hers was such a lonely life.
If you covered him with garbage,
George Sanders would still have style,
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn 'round and smile,
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
'Cause she's not very tough,
She should have been made of iron or steel,
But she was only made of flesh and blood.
...
And those who are successful,
Be always on your guard,
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along Hollywood Boulevard.

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.

The Cascades - Punch and Judy - YouTube


Elliott Smith - Punch and Judy - YouTube


Marillion - Punch & Judy - YouTube

These songs remind me of a local group with the non-PC name Punch Judy.

I just had to add a couple of songs that do quite a bit of namedropping, both by deadpan beauty Virginia O'Brien.


Virginia O'Brien "Salome" from Du Barry Was a Lady - YouTube


MGM 1942 Virginia O'Brien Did I Get Stinkin'At the Club Savoy - YouTube

Dick Tracy gets sung about in this funny song:

From "Three Bites of the Apple", starring David McCallum, popular at that time as Illya Kuryakin in "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."

David McCallum - In The Garden~Under The Tree - 1966 45rpm - YouTube
Adam & Eve
Playboy magazine and Tiffany's also get mentions.


EDIT: I just found this one~a fan song for our favorite agent from Russia (with love, obviously)!
Love Ya Illya by Alma Cogan

Shawn Mullins - Lullaby - YouTube

She grew up with the children of the stars
In the Hollywood hills, in the Boulevard.
Her parents threw big parties; everyone was there.
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper
And Bob Seger, and Sonny and Cher.
