Back in the '80s there was a sudden spurt of songs with STONES-related references in the lyrics. Remember the SMITHEREENS' "Behind The Wall Of Sleep" (from "Especially For You", 1986)? The song started with "She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton / back in nineteen-sixty-five", and another verse had "she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band / and she stood just like Bill Wyman / now I am her biggest fan".
Also in 1986 was ROBYN HITCHCOCK'S LP "Invisible Hitchcock", which included a song called "Trash". You can hear the lyrics for yourselves, but I will say its not too often that you hear a song that mentions both CHARLIE WATTS and BRIAN JONES! This was released on CD years ago, but its now long out-of-print, as far as I can tell. This is sourced from my vinyl copy:
