Songs by other artists that mention MSP.

I know there was a thread likes this a while ago but it seems to have vanished, I know about the mentions by Robbie Williams, HMHB and The Art Goblins but this is new on me despite being years old https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDCLeeMYYzM Ouch!

Theres that imfamous songs by Ideal called Richey is Dead, and i've seen 1 or 2 about Nicky. Nicky Wire You're A Lier, can't really remember whos it by but I believe its on itunes. Not really the most positive songs about the Manics.

Most bands have no respect for us at all
Which is fine because we didn't form a band
To get respect from other musicians, you know
That was never an important criteria to us
It's just tragic I think

Sort of, Eddie Argos' side project the Art Goblins, mentioned briefly in the first post. All I remember are the lines 'Don't want their socialist shite / On a Saturday night' and a repeated, knowingly juvenile group singalong coda of 'Nicky Wire can suck my cock!'

Or something. Oh and also... 'James Dean Bradfield / Looks like Cadfael', which I found surprisingly funny.

Christy Moore - Arthur's Day mentions MSP (it is not about them...they are just mentioned in passing).

The most negative ones always seem to come from bands I've never heard of. Here are some more, which may not be real*.

'JDB You're So Rusty' by The Artisan 30 Whelk Pickers
'Nicky Wire has a Van for Hire (But It's Rubbish!)' by Errant Vehicular Trolls
'Moore or Less' by Silent Drummer Stalkers of Cleethorpes
'Really Poor Taste Richey Song' by Eddie Lame and the Instant Fails
'Man, Ick Street Pre-Chairs' by Awkward Punners

*ok, completely made-up

Might be a bit tenuous, but doesn't Wood Cabin by St Etienne quote directly from an early Manics interview?

There's a chumbawamba song called "passenger list for doomed flight 1721", in which they list lots of people they dislike. Nicky Wire is mentioned alongside Tony Blair, General Pinochet, and Mick Hucknall.
