Songs that mention specific newspapers or magazines.?

The Human League's 1982 #2 hit "Mirror Man" mentions two in the chorus.

 

Here comes the Mirror Man

Says he's a people fan

 

 

 

 

Lily Allen's Ivor Novello-award winning #1 hit from 2009, "The Fear" also mentions two (obviously one of them is only a newspaper in the loosest sense)

 

I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror

I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm onto a winner

Jam - News Of The World

 

Costello - Fish And Chip Paper

 

 

 

Nah, needs to mention an actual publication otherwise it is a distant second to Joe Jackson's "Sunday Papers".

 

 

Many on here should be ashamed at these weak attempts ---  ooooh look:

 

Here Comes the S*n

Good Day S*n Shine

The S*n King

I'll Follow the S*n

Rain - "when the S*n shines they slip into the shade"

Yellow Submarine 'so we sailed on to the S*n"

 

etc, etc
