NW songs that pay tribute to celebrities and other new wave legends?
I'm not talking about the person's name being mentioned in one line, I'm talking about the celeb being the central focus of the song.
Bananarama - Robert's Dinero's Waiting
B-52's and Family Fodder - Debbie and Debbie Harry, respectively
Can you guys think of some more?
