Barenaked Ladies - Blame It On Me
Milli Vanilli told you to Blame it On The Rain,
but if you blame it on the rain tell me
what can be gained so,
if all else fails you can blame it on me.

Tenacious D- Dio
Dio has rocked (echo: rocked) for a long, long time,
Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
He has songs of wilderbeasts and angels,
He has soared on the wings of a demon.
It's time to pass the torch,
You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.
We're takin' you to a home,
But we will sing a song about you.
And we will make sure that you're very well taken care of.
You'll tell us secrets that you've learned. Woah!
Your sauce will mix with ours,
And we'll make a good goulash baby.
Dio, time to go!
You must give your cape and scepter to me.
And a smaller one for KG.
Go! Go! Dio! Dio!

1985 by Bowling for Soup
Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husband's a C.P.A.
Her dreams went out the door
Once she turned 24
Only been with one man
What happen to her plans?
She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass
On the hood of Whitesnake’s car
Now her SUV has become the enemy
Looks at her average life
Nothing has been alright... since
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985
Woohoohoo
(1985)
Woohoohoo
She’s seen all the classics
At least a hundred times
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
Fast Times At Ridgemont High
She rocks out to Wham!
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Never knew George was gay
Hoped they hook up one day
Where’s her fairy tale
Where's her dream?
Where's the quarterback
From her highschool footbal team?
Where’s her fairy tale
Where's her dream?
How many times will she ask herself
What happened to me?
(The rubber broke!)...WHEN

She hates time make it stop

And from the same album as the original version - Here We Go Again - SR-71 also had another song along a similar vein called "Axl Rose"...
Where did you go Axl Rose?
Ricky lives alone...mother's basement
37 got nothing to show for it
Heavy metal man with his long hair
The top is gone but he's rockin' the ponytail
All he's got now is post grunge apathy...(catastrophe)
He says The Vines and The White Stripes
Just don't get it for me and my friends
Take me back when...
Whoa, oh...Where did you go Axl Rose?
'Til one night at karakoe
Ricky was kickin' out Bon Jovi
"Dead Or Alvie" I think it was
And right then Angel fell in love

Barenaked Ladies - "Brian Wilson"
Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue,
cause right now I'm
[Chorus]
Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.
So I'm lying here, just staring at the ceiling tiles.
and I'm thinking about what to think about.
Just listening and relistening to Smiley Smile,
and I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought
because I am
[Chorus]
And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox,
wondering where the hell all the love has gone.
Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun,
and singing "Fun, Fun, Fun."
[Chorus]
I had a dream that I was three hundred pounds
and though I was very heavy,
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me because I'm
Barenaked Ladies - "One Week"

Big like Leann Rimes
Because I'm all about value

Re: Songs that reference another artist/group name?
I could do this all day, and still not hit upon all the ones I know. Here's a few more random ones off the top of my head...
New Radicals - "You get What You Give"
Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
...lots of songs that reference The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, such as...
House of Love - "The Beatles and the Stones"
Look at him shouting out
Loud as thunder out at sea
He wants a bomb
So do we
A bomb from the sky
Is the perfect crime
Shoulder on shoulder and heat
The Beatles and the Stones
Sucked the marrow out of bone
Put the V in Vietnam
The Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone
To be alone
Look at me, proud of being
Proud of being seventeen
Locking in the pocket a smile
Soft from the school
Cut by the rule
Oh I'm dazed and I'm dazed and I'm dazed
The Beatles and the Stones
Sucked the marrow out of bone
Put the V in Vietnam
The Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone
To be alone
The Beatles and the Stones
Sucked the marrow out of bone
Put the V in Vietnam
The Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone
To be alone
To be alone
To be alone
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone)
To be alone...
Metric - "Gimme Sympathy"
I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"
Material Issue - "What Girls Want"
She said...
I want want love, I want drugs, I want sex and affection
I want everyone in this room here to look I my direction
I want a man with lips just like Mick Jagger
Rod Stewart's hair, and Keith Richards swagger
That's what girls want
...and a couple from one of my favorite albums from last year...
Gaslight Anthem - "Miles Davis And The Cool"
Look Miles Davis, I've been swayed by the cool.
There's just something about the summertime.
There's just something about the moon.
Gaslight Anthem - "High Lonesome" (Elvis, Tom Petty & Springsteen refs)
And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
And in my head there's all these classic cars
And outlaw cowboy bands
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else
There were Southern accents
On the radio
As I drove home
And at night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
It's a pretty good song
Maybe you know the rest

She grew up with the children of the stars
in the Hollywood hills and the boulevards.
Her parents threw big parties. Everyone was there.
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper and Bob Seger and
Sonny and Cher.

Re: Songs that reference another artist/group name?
Thanks, some good ones.
another one I remembered:
"Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance to Anything)"
By the Dead Milkmen
She'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
Okay, look at you
Don't you look like Siouxsie Sioux
How long did it take to get that way
What a terrible waste of energy
You wear black clothes say you're poetic
The sad truth is you're just pathetic
Get into the groove get out of my way
I came here to drink not to get laid
So why don't you just go on home
If you want to moan you'll have to moan alone
You'll dance to anything...
You'll dance to anything...
Don't try to tell me that you're an intellectual
Cause you're just another born bisexual
("I met Andy Warhol at a really chic party")
Blow it out your hair cause you work at Hardees
80 pounds of make up on your art school skin
80 points of I.Q. located within
Know what you are? You're a bunch of ...
Artfags! Artfags!
Choke on this you dance-a-teria types!
You'll dance to anything by the Communards
You'll dance to anything by Book of Love
You'll dance to anything by The Smiths
You'll dance to anything by De-peche Mode
You'll dance to anything by Public Image Limited
You'll dance to anything by Naked Truth
You'll dance to anything by any bunch of stupid Europeans who come over
here with their big hairdos bent on taking OUR money instead of giving
your cash, where it belongs, to a decent American artist like myself!
You'll dance to anythIng

Supergrass - Prophet 15:
Well John Belushi, and Lady Day were close by
And Joe the Lion and Marvin Gaye were right there
Jason Mraz - The Dynamo of Volition
I'm tryin' to keep with the Joneses
While waiting for Guns and the Roses
To finish what we all suppose is
Gonna be the shit
Everclear - Thrift Store Chair:
Gonna put a John Prine record on
I think we need to slow it down for a while
Better Than Ezra - Lifetime:
And that REM song was playing in my mind
Three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
Better Than Ezra - Extra Ordinary:
Though I got more hooks like Madonna got looks.
Just like that AC/DC song
Come on baby shake me all night long
Just like that Barenaked Ladies Song
I'm hot like wasabi when I'm next to your body.
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
Counting Crows - Mr. Jones:
I want to be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
Everclear - Otis Redding
Flight of the Conchords - Bowie

Re: Songs that reference another artist/group name?
hmm off the top of my head
Local H - January: The One With Kid
Give me my Zeppelin CDs
You know you took 'em, I know you did
Where's my Pretenders record
You know the one, the one with "Kid"
Where's all my AC/DCs
My Interpol, my Libertines
Where's all my Kyuss records
You never liked 'em until you met me
Sensations, frustrations, barbed wire for coronations
My "Heart of Glass" 12-inch is scratched
No matter what it's costing
Make sure you leave with nothing
Won't stand and watch you gut our home

"Pullin mad, so you know it's me
and your weed got more seeds than ODB"-Redman off of Buck 50
Pretty much any rap record.
Put on any Jay-z song and he's either mentioning BIG or using one of his lines.

I'm surprised that the Stray Cat's "Gene & Eddie" hasn't come up yet!
"Well be bop a lula she's my baby
Well be bop a lula summertime blues
Well it's something else man and you can't lose
I'm gonna race with the devil and maybe I'll win
And I'm gonna dance with skinny Jim
Well hang on tight you better get ready
We're gonna rock with Gene and Eddie
Halleluja I love her so
bee I bickey bop bo bo go
Cut across shorty you can't fail
She got a red blue jeans and a pony tail
Well hang on tight man you better get ready
Cause we're gonna rock with Gene and Eddie
Well come on everybody let's get together tonight
Say mama can I go out tonight
Well I sure miss you and the twenty flight rock
Get your dungarees on let's a blue jean bop
Well hang on tight you better get ready
Cause we're gonna rock with Gene and Eddie"
Also, another (of I'm sure more-than-a-few) Eddie Cochran reference by Setzer in "'59" as well as another:
"...And Bobby Darin sang "Mack The Knife"
They took Eddie Cochran, what could we do
Once he was gone we knew that rock and roll was through"

Re: Songs that reference another artist/group name?
I've been listening to the new Bleu album for over a week now, and can't believe I forgot to list this one. Lots of references here...
Bleu - "Boy Meets Girl"
I've got a tune for the bride and the groom and how they got here
It starts out with a boy and a girl who met in senior year
She hung out the outside crowd while he disappeared
But the square and the rebel fit together like the treble and bass in their ears
It's like Twisted Sister meets Mr. Mister
It's like Rolling Thunder meets a Careless Whisper
It's like Jesus Jones and The Rolling Stones in a game of Twister
It's like boy meets girl
He went to Boston and got a little lost in a frozen stare (Hallelujah)
She looked at him with an L.A. grin and wondered if he cared (Hallelujah)
He said someday when the Polaroids fade and we cut our hair (Hallelujah)
We'll look back and we'll laugh 'cause the Queen and the Jack made a perfect pair
It's like Twisted Sister meets Mr. Mister
It's like Shout At The Devil meets a Careless Whisper
It's like Motorhead and The Greatful Dead in a game of Twister
It's like boy meets girl
la la la la la la la la

It's like Twisted Sister meets Mr. Mister
It's like Shout At The Devil meets a Careless Whisper
It's like Motorhead and The Greatful Dead in a game of Twister
It's like boy meets girl

X I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts
I hear the radio is finally gonna
play new music, you know, the
british invasion." But what about
the Minutemen, Flesh Eaters, DOA,
Big Boys. And the Black Flag? Will
the last american band to get played
on the radio please bring the flag?
please bring the flag! Glitter-disco-
synthesizer night school. All this
noble savage drum, drum, drum.
astronauts going back in time to hang
out with the cave people. It's about
time, it's about space. It's about
some people in the strangest place.
woody guthrie sang about b-e-e-t-s
not b-e-a-t-s. I must not think
bad thoughts, I must not think
bad thoughts

Saw this post and had to add one. Don't agree with it, but it was a band I use to be into many years ago.

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
We all came out to montreux
On the lake geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didnt have much time
Frank zappa and the mothers
Were at the best place around
"Elvis Costello Hurry Down Doomsday" _ Elvis Costello
Any day now a giant insect mutation
Will swoop down and devour the white man's burden
Starting out with all of the sensitive ones
Better make like a fly if you don't want to die
Look out there goes Gordon (Sting of course)
Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen
The screen door slams
Mary' dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely

Steely Dan - Everything You Did
"Turn up The Eagles the neighbors are listening"
Cause Walt Becker's gf loved them or something.
and the line in Hotel California about Steely knives is a shot back.

Bad Company - Shooting Star
Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
'Love Me Do' I think it was
From there it didn't take him long
