John Lennon's "How Do You Sleep" is about Paul McCartney:

A pretty face may last a year or two

But pretty soon they'll see what you can do

The sound you make is muzak to my ears

You must have learned something in all those years

​

Paul McCartney's "Silly Love Songs" is his response:

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs

I look around me and I see it isn't so

Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs

And what's wrong with that?

Everything You Did by Steely Dan references the Eagles (“turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening”) ; Hotel California, in turn, references Steely Dan with the line “they stab it with their steely knives” (“dan” got changed to “knives” to make it less obvious)
