I know your thread title refers to other rock groups, but I give you Barbara Keith's "Death of the American Song" - on the Stone Coyotes cd called "Born To Howl":
"So beat the drum slowly as they carry her away
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
I see Tammy and Patsy with their long black dresses on
Mourning the death of the American song"
Every line in "Death of the American Song" is a tribute to a classic old song (more country than anything).
The Stone Coyotes are a little family rock band consisting of Barbara, her husband Doug Tibbles and his son.
Also from Born To Howl, the song "American Child":
"He's a little bit bored
And a litle bit wild
I'm looking for
An American child
Give me Jerry Lee Lewis
Give me Joey Ramone"
