I am trying to collate all the songs which contain a reference to the kind of girlfriend you can get when you are famous (Spotify playlist). If you don't have Spotify where you are, the list is currently :
Rock Star - Everclear
When You Wasn't Famous - The Streets
Top Of The World - T.I.

This is only three, what others are there? So far they are falling into two broad subcategories :

i) girls you can pull when you are not famous are a bit horrible
ii) girls you can pull when you are famous are a bit horrible

Do share your thoughts on this, whether here or via last.fm tag. This might also be a golden opportunity for you to break out the "unexamined assumption" tag!

"Wearing My Rolex" kind of. That is, if you're Wiley you get to pull the kind of girl who is a watch thief.

In "I Wish" Skee-Lo reckons that basketball players (who are kind of famous, in some circumstances) get all the fly girls, while he gets only the hood rats.

How about the sort of girlfriend that is famous as well? I am thinking of 'Upgrade U' by Bouncey and Jay-Z here - they are co-dependent on each other to maintain their fame levels!

I think Nickelback's "Rock Star" talks about Playboy Bunnies and whatnot.

Is this specifically about girlfriends, or are songs about the boyfriends you can get while famous applicable too?

If so, Beyonce's "Irreplacable"?

One if by land, two if by sea?

Jeremih "Imma Star": Girlfriends don't get much more space than, say, marijuana, but anyway, (1) "Got a bad bitch, her hair & nails tip top," and (2) "You're a Scorpio? Girl get over here/Ride me all night like you kin of Paul Revere/Kissing on my neck, nibbling on my ear/You say you wanna chill go ahead & have a beer."

(By the way, I love this way more than "Birthday Sex," but I seem to be the only one.)
