[Music] Songs that mention other songs

[studio150]

So we've had threads on songs that mention people, colours, etc so now one for songs that mention other songs.

Just one rule it has to be a clear mention, no posting Stairway to Heaven and saying it mentions Heaven by Talking Heads just because the words are used.

To start with
