Songs that Reference Other Songs

WFUV Question of the Day

Listener Gregg from Upper Montclair suggests today's Question of the Day and challenges you  to come up with songs that reference other songs. Note that we're not looking for songs that mention other artists. There has to be some reference to a particular song. Indicate both songs in your response. We'll check our references when we spin the set.

Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:

  • boygenius "Not Strong Enough" (The Cure "Boys Don't Cry")
  • Sylvan Esso "Coffee" (Tommy James & The Shondells "Hanky Panky")
  • Nick Lowe "All Men Are Liars" (Rick Astley "Never Gonna Give You Up")
  • Tom Petty "Runnin' Down a Dream" (Del Shannon "Runaway")
