David Bowie Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol looks a scream
Hang him on my wall
Andy Warhol, Silver Screen
Can't tell them apart at all

The Clash Overpowered By Funk

I liven up the culture
Because I'm deadly as a vulture
I PAINT ON CIVILIZATION I HAVE THIS REALIZATION
It's environmentally wack
So presenting my attack
I'll brighten up your shack

Don McLean Starry, Starry Night

Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Lambchop Art Lover

Pretty little legs, I want to draw them,
Like a Degas ballerina.
Pure white skin, like porcelain,
She's a work of art and I should know
I'm an art lover.
Come to daddy,
And I'll give you some spangles.

Dire Straits In The Gallery

And then you get an artist says he doesn't want to paint at all
He takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wall
The birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes
While the dealers they get together
And they decide who gets the breaks
And who's going to be in the gallery

TELEVISION PERSONALITIES - LICHTENSTEIN PAINTING

She reminds me of a Liechtenstein Painting
That hangs on the wall of famous halls
In galleries around the world
She reminds me of a Liechtenstein Painting
I saw in a book, "Oh Jeff I do love you but...."
She's the Sleeping Girl

Jonathan Richman Vincent van Gogh

Well in the Amsterdam museum I was feeling bad,
And trying to find a way not to be that sad.
I felt the feeling in the room sincere,
Vincent Van Gogh well he seemed so near.
And he loved he loved he loved life like he did,
HIs paintings had things that painters keep hid.
He loved life so bad that the world had to know,
He loved color and he let it show.
