Voorbeeld:

Elliott Smith in Baby Britain:

revolver's been turned over
and now it's ready once again
the radio was playing "crimson and clover"

iemand nog meer?

Als het over namen hebt, weet ik er op dit moment geen, maar American Pie zit vol met referencies naar artiesten van 1959 tot 1969.

Een willekeurig rap nummer.

Hier hadden we al een soort topic over: http://www.musicmeter.nl/forum/4/2249/0

Maar er zijn er natuurlijk nog veel meer dan in die top 100 staan.

Van de nieuwe Low, het nummer Hatchet:

"You be my Charlie
And I can be your George
Let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles and the Stones
They'll play our songs forever on the radio
Let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles
The Beatles and the Stones
I know you've got a thing for ordinary guys
But I've heard your records and they sound a lot like mine
So you be my Marianne, and I'll be your Yoko"

Thunder Road == Bruce Springsteen


The screen door slams
Marys dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
""ROY ORBISON"" singing for the lonely
Hey thats me and I want you only

Wu-Tang Clan - Da Mystery of Chessboxin'

Well I'm a sire, I set the microphone on fire
Rap styles vary, and carry like Mariah

Prince in het nummer The Ballad of Dorothy Parker:

She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
"Mind if I turn on the radio?"
"Oh, my favorite song" she said
And it was Joni singing "Help me I think I'm falling"

Over Joni Mitchell en haar nummer Help Me (van het album Court and Spark)

KRS-One - I Can't Wake Up.

En nog een keer Elliott Smith, ook weer van XO in het nummer Waltz #2:

first the mic then a half cigarette
singing cathy's clown

Anouk - Tom Waits

2 Unlimited - No One:

[RAY:] No-one knows, yo, will I know
Like Janet Jackson "That's the way love goes"

Neil Young - Thrasher

Over zijn relatie met Crosby, Stills & Nash

Dream Theater's Octavarium, teveel verwijzingen om op te noemen...

jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper's ready
lucy in the sky with diamond daves not here I come to save the
day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home
again

flying off the handle with careful with
that axe eugene gene the dance machine
messiah light my fire gabba gabba
hey hey my my generation's home
again

The Afghan Whigs - John the Baptist

Hey... Welcome home
I got a little wine
Some Marvin Gaye
Come on and taste me
Come on and take me, I'm yours...

Waterboys - The Return of Jimi Hendrix

I dreamed about Jimi Hendrix
he came back for one day

Belle & Sebastian - A Century of Elvis

Every night now since we moved in that new house theres this noise outside the door at just about half seven or eight o'clock every night. And if we go and look outside the door, Elvis will be standing there waiting to be let in.

Advertising Space gaat over Elvis, maar dat is ook de enige artiest die omschreven wordt.

Hoe kon ik deze vergeten: Twee verwijzingen in een couplet van 'sowing the seeds of love' van Tears For Fears:

Kick out the style, bring back the jam.

Ik moest even de songtekst erbij pakken, maar ik hoorde het dus toch goed. Zojuist in Hands Open van Snow Patrol:

"Put Sufjan Stevens on
and we'll play your favorite song
"Chicago" bursts to life and your
sweet smile remembers you, my"

Motörhead - R.A.M.O.N.E.S.

duidelijk

Generation x - Ready steady go
I'm still in love with the Beatles
I was in love with the Stones, no satisfaction
I was in love with Bobby Dylan
Because I'm in love with Rock'n'Roll

Ben Folds - Rockin' The Suburbs

I'm rockin' the suburbs
Just like Michael Jackson did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented
...

I'm rockin' the suburbs
Just like Quiet Riot did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that they were talented
...

Just like Jon Bon Jovi did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks
These days
...

Slow jamz:
''She said she want some marvin gaye some luther vandross a little of me...''

plus alles wat The game uitbrengt

deze dan:
Onze eigen Golden Earring in Radar Love:
The radio's playing that forgotten song
Brenda Lee coming on strong

dacht ik toch, zoiets....

lijkt me sterk, tambourine man is uit 1964, yellow submarine 1968, of bedoel je het andersom?

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Suprême NTM - La Fièvre

Tout a débuté un matin quand à dix heures dix
Je fus tiré du lit par l'emmerdeur de service
Mon voisin du dessus, en bon fan d'Elvis
Passe ses week-ends à foutre à fond
Des lives de Memphis

Adam Green - Jessica

Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone
It's not in your music, no
You need a vacation to wake up the cavemen
And take them to Mexico
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulant smile
The way that you faked it
The day that you died

My body's in shambles
Incrusted with brambles, that sharpen the air I breathe
What's on the menu
Jessica can you take down my order please

Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulant smile
The way that you faked it
The day that you died

Tomorrow gets closer
A purple bulldozer is calling you on the phone.
Your love life preceeds you
Your son-in-law feeds you injections of cortizone

Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulant smile
The way that you faked it
The day that you died

Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone
It's not in your music, so where has it gone then
Jessica...

In 'Headcleaner' verwijzen de Neubauten wel erg nadrukkelijk naar 'All you need is love':

Ein Lied zwo, drei:
"All you need is HEADCLEANER!"

cause nothing has been done that can' t be done
nothing has been sang that can`t be sung
and nothing has been set, so forget how to play the game
it`s easy

nothing has been made that can`t be made
and no one has been saved, that should have been saved
and nothing you can do but forget yourself this time
it`s easy

cause nothing has been known that can`t be known
nothing has been seen that ain`t been shown
nowhere you can be and that isn`t where you meant to be
it`s easy

all you need is HEADCLEANER
