    Lay It On Me (references)
    jade says (29 Apr '11)

    I am very slowly putting in writing and vocal credits, along with samples and references, on the lyric website (http://www.kidrocklyrics.net)

    I still need to finish the Bootleg lyrics, but those are gonna take some time still.

     

    I found some interesting things about the song Lay it On Me (Cocky)~

    It doesn't seem to have any direct samples, but it has a lot of references.  Here is what I've listed so far (I've decided to omit just simple musician names, those are obvious and KR uses them all the time)

     

    --Back in Black (album, Hells' Bells is first of 10 songs) by AC/DC

    --Saturday Night Live (TV Show)

    --T.S.R by Biz Markie (Possibly; for "Got the funky fresh rhymes")

    --Jason Ireland (Possible reference; Ireland is nicknamed "The Irish Tornado", he's a MMA fighter from Romeo, MI who won his first professional fight in 2000.)

     

    I was totally surprised by the Jason Ireland connection. I don't watch fighting, so its not something I ever thought of. But given that his nickname is "Irish Tornado" and that he's from Romeo Mi, it just seemed like to big of a coincidence for it not to be a reference by KR.  Has anyone heard this before or thought about it?

The Irish Tornado and being from Romeo huh?? Yeah, I think you may be on to something!

Oh and I also LOVE references to Romeo, Michigan of course! Anytime I see it posted on any KR board! Then peeps hopefully understand my user name of Romeo and it's tribute to Kid Rock's hometown. haha.
