Shakespears sister did a song called 'Your History', it however does not contain any historical references

 

[KellyG]

Shakespeare had no sister, and some people believe his plays were written by Francis Bacon. Bacon come from a pig, which is also in the name of a group called "Pigbag" who had a song of the same name. This was sampled into the song "Kickbag" by UK Hip-Hop star Overlord-X

Overlord X was a Hip Hop star. Hopping is what you do when skipping. Skipping was featured in Malcolm Maclaren's hit Double Dutch. Alice Deejay are a Dutch electronic group and double was part of the title of Dave and Ansell Collin's hit Double Barrel.

Paul Simon also wrote Graceland which is also the namesake of Elvis Presley's mansion in the state of Tennessee and is also found in the name of a song written in the 1940's and popularized in the 1950's by Patti Page - The Tennessee Waltz - that as of 1974 was the biggest selling song ever in Japan - the name of a country that Brit/Cypriot/Bass Player Mick Karn took for his rock band with David Sylvian who's names always reminds me of writer Sylvia Plath who took her own life but who's writing managed to influence the band a few generations later out of Brooklyn called The Antlers.

 

[lightninggirl3]

Antlers are found on the top of deer. The word deer is a homophone for the word dear. If you add some letters in the middle of the word dear, you get the word disappear, the name of a song by Nomeansno.

 

[AlexisInfectious®]

The Antlers are usually what Moose (Meese??) use to impale their victims when they go on their regular sprees of death and destruction. You find Moose with antlers in the charming and popular Canadian/American detective show Due South. South is a compass direction, just like East - and East is the main bit of a group of Laandaan ne'er do wells known as East 17.
