Nods to David Bowie and The Eagles in Honeymoon

[Honeymooner 336]

Anyone catch the references?

 

In "Terrence Loves You," there are several occurrences of "Ground control to Major Tom," an obvious nod to David Bowie's "Space Oddity."  And in another song, I forget which one now (was listening to Honeymoon on the way to work today), there's a reference to "Hotel California."  Lana has good taste.

The reference to Hotel California is in God Knows I Tried

Thanks, you saved me from having to fast-listen to all the songs again

I think the dumb lyrics "Stranger than a stranger" are a lyric reference of an old song cuz' exactly yesterday I was in my common kitchen and another dude had a really 70's sounding slow rock song and the man said "stranger than a stranger" and I was like WTF, it isn't just a stupid lyrics, she's actually referencing that song maybe!

This is all I ever see

Also, "Terrence Loves You" always really reminds me of a track from Heathen or The Next Day (that sax is totally "Dirty Boys") and specifically this song

 

 

So, props to her for doing a Bowie tribute without only referencing the obvious tracks
