There's "Pablo Picasso" which I think was written by Jonathan Richman but is also performed by John Cale and a few other people. (Those who don't appreciate the more vulgar elements of the English language might not want to read further.)

Sample lyrics are:

Yeah, people try to pick up girls
And get called "asshole"
This never happened to
Pablo Picasso
He could walk down the street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole.
(Not in New York....)

Girls would turn the color
Of an avocado
When he'd drive down the street
In his Eldorado

etcetera.....
