New Kids On The Block Sing About Grey's Anatomy

New Kids On The Block

You might think New Kids On The Block — the 90s boy band that's had some successful acting gigs — would pay tribute to one of their hit shows in a song, like Donnie Wahlberg appearances on Blue Bloods or Joey McIntyre's The McCarthy's. But it was their 2008 comeback album that featured a song that shouts out one of the hottest medical shows on television — Grey's Anatomy.

"2 in the Morning" tells the story of a ticking clock on a relationship and gives a nod to Grey's and its time slot with the lyrics, "Girl, it's almost ten, Gotta know if you're mad at me, Before Grey's Anatomy, 'Cause we could drag this out all night."

David Archuleta

Not only does David Archuleta's hit "Ok, All Right" tackle the struggle between debilitating negativity and positive thinking with its upbeat tune and hopeful mantra, but the lyrics also include a shout-out to one of the singer's favorite shows.

AJR Sing About The Office

AJR

This song by the indie band of brothers is one of the most intriguing because, although it never once says "The Office" in the lyrics, the entire song is about the popular show. "Netflix Trip" by AJR was written back when The Office could be found on the streaming platform.

AJR member Ryan Met penned the song about his favorite TV show, and how characters like Michael, Dwight and Jim all had a hand in his growing up with lyrics like, "The one where Dwight became the head of sales, My 8th grade graduation wished me well."

The Kanye West song featuring T-Pain titled "Good Life" — while full of innuendos — also makes a reference to the 2006 Samuel L. Jackson film Snakes on a Plane.

The lyrics refer to sipping champagne and having sex on an airplane, but when it comes time for the canoodling, the woman says, "I never seen snakes on a plane," referring less to the movie and more to, well, Kanye.

Michael Jackson Sings About Happy Days

Written in the city it's titled after, Michael Jackson's 1995 "Stranger in Moscow" is all about the King of Pop's pleads for compassion and understanding from the media after being scrutinized for his scandals.

Billy Joel Sings About Everything

Billy Joel

In Billy Joel's Grammy-nominated song "We Didn't Start The Fire," the singer drops many a name, place, object, tv show, and movie title.
