Anyone think of any with obvious or cryptic references to another band or another song in their lyrics? (preferably intentional, not just happening to use a common word that also happens to be a band name/song 
)
One of my favourites is
Packet of the biscuit of your choice to anyone who identifies all/or a sufficient amount of the references there
I can think of others, but...anyone else got any?

Quote:
“here, sitting in my room, with The Replacements and Husker Du, like a rebel without a clue
and the Beatles and the Stones get to hang out with Ramones
and the Pistols shunning fame, as they sing the old refrain
as they always will again, like 29 x the pain
I see starz, and the moon is Big and Black, well there's a full sheer heart attack
but the cheapest trick of all is when I hear that London call
I need something and I need it fast, I need Jason scorching past
I need to feel they feel the same, 'cos when they almost know my name it's like 29 x the pain
kiss my heart, like The Damned did from the start
c'mon make me feel like me, S.L.F. or B.O.C.
give me old, give me new, let me know you feel it too
'cos the sounds that twist and curl, it's a brave new world
I'm up, I could not get down, when I got all my friends around
and I can be there once again, I'm gonna miss Kurt Cobain/So where you hiding Richie, James?
just like 29 x the pain ”

forgot to put that the song is 29 x the Pain and is by The Wildhearts. They supported the Manics on tour in the early days. I'm never sure whether the comma is meant to be there or not though- as mentioned, works either way really
