To add to the above: Deep Purple / Smoke on the Water (fire in the sky) -- the song is ABOUT a fire during a F. Zappa concert in Switzerland. The lyrics describe that event.
Rock Lyrics - Best Reference to Other Rock Group
References to other artists and songs are everywhere, but my two favorites are Steely Dan from "Everything You Did":
and Tears For Fears on "Seeds Of Love":
Anybody got any others?
Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening
and Tears For Fears on "Seeds Of Love":
Kick out the Style bring back the Jam
Anybody got any others?
