Intertextuality

I love intertextuality. Works of art that reference or critique other works of art. Here are some of my favorite examples:

Music

  • American Pie, Don McLean
  • Blinded by the Light, Bruce Springsteen (though the Manfred Mann version is arguably more intertextual)
  • Pretty much everything on Fugee’s The Score
  • Spirit of the Radio, Rush
  • Wrapped Around Your Finger, The Police

    Books

  • Oathbreakers by Matthew Gabriele and David Perry

…this list will grow with time as I think of more things.
