Lloyd Cole's "Rattlesnakes" mentions reading Simone De Beauvior and Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.
'The Killer In Me'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Would U2's "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" count? The lyrics are taken directly from Salman Rushdie's novel of the same name.
Barenaked Ladies "If I Had $1,000,000" references buying some art ... I think it mentions Picasso directly, but I might be crazy.
Ooh, "The Bad Touch" by the Bloodhound Gang and "One Week" by the Barenaked Ladies both reference The X-Files.
Or, for that matter, you could go with Bree Sharp's "David Duchovny."

What song would you play at every birthday party you would ever throw for yourself?
I am currently addicted to Cibo Matto's "Birthday Cake." That might be appropriate. In a way.

Ann, that's a ferret.
May the song mention another song?
If so, "Radar Love" by Golden Earring ("Comin' On Strong" by Brenda Lee)
(ETA: And "Summer Rain" by Johnny Rivers ("Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"))

May the song mention another song?
"Land of a Thousand Dances" by... lots of people.
There's a song on the new Amy Rigby album called "Last Night I Was Dancing With Joey Ramone" that's really sweet. It mentions as many different songs as "Land of a Thousand Dances".

Yes - any work of art is fine, but the consensus seems to be it has to be a work of art, not the artist.
And I am going to say it if references it super directly it doesn't have to actually name it - to hell with the strict rule interpreters!
