Not sure if this one was mentioned. The lyrics don't actually have anything to do with Clint Eastwood.

^^^ That's just fine! Even if the lyrics don't mention him, the title is his name. I'll even accept songs that don't name the person but is about someone. For example, Def Leppard's "Photograph" is known to be about Marilyn Monroe but never mentions her. I just find it fascinating when songwriters include references to the famous, whether real or fictional.

I don't know if either of those planes was found.

Why did they misspell his name? That really surprised me when I saw the error in the video; I thought only the poster "oopsed". Then, I noticed how often his name is misspelled at YouTube. Tut tut, people!

Queen - Killer Queen - YouTube

She keeps Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake,' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

We'll see the spirits dance tonight
Through Valentino's eyes tonight
Tango, tango
You make me want to tango around you
Tango around you

Oh -- Apache dancing
Oh -- Apache dancing with me
We like a tango like Valentino
Oh -- Apache dancing with me

I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream.
