I'm sure there's an official term for it, hell, maybe even a genre, but what do you call it when a band you like reference ANOTHER band you like, either in the lyrics of a song or even the title?
Of course, you've got throwaway references in rap songs that don't really count, I'm talking rock bands or artists mentioning other bands.
A couple from me first; The Manic Street Preachers struck gold with the "sequel" to the Holy Bible album, "Journal For Plague Lovers." One of the (many) highlights is "Jackie Collin's Existential Question Time", and no - Jackie Collins isn't the reference here. (And the change at 1:43 still gives me goosebumps).

And then we've got the Dandy Warhols. Always effortlessly cool, who could THEY possibly hope to be as cool as? Well, how about one of the greatest female icons of alternative rock ever?

Two for two. Your turn.
