I love Randy Newman's little story of how "a young man named Bruce Springsteen" says to him, "Rand, I'm tired... how would you like to be the Boss for a while." Blow, Big Man, blow. (My Life Is Good, on Trouble In Paradise)
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?
