Night Shift by the Commodores and Genius of Love by Tom Tom club are both songs that are essentially roll calls of their respective musical heroes.

One section of the song is just a long string of mentions.

Sacred Reich - 31 Flavors

My daughter sang loud and thought Bruno Mars was saying "Hot Ham" on Uptown Funk

Cant remember the song but Eminem mentions Moby

Bian Wilson- Bare Naked Ladies Buddy Holly- Weezer

Smoke also mentions the Rolling Stones

I remember a long winded conversation as a kid where my mom thought the lyrics were “do the lucky lady” my brother said no it’s “do it like a lady” mentioning the scene in Mrs. Doubtfire. My Dad neutral on the subject decided to sing it out loud as he went to the washroom to see if anyone corrected him. A waitress at the restaurant said “no it’s Dude looks like a lady” and after that peace was restored to the land <3

Another KISS shout:

Wilco - Heavy Metal Drummer

"Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned"
