Line 1:
{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* In Lupe Fiasco's character biographies for ''The Cool'', Michael Young History's birthdate is listed as the day Lupe's first album ''Food and Liquour'' was leaked. The Cool's is listed as six months later, a reference to the line in the song ''The Cool''. Yes, there's a song, a CD, and a character all named The Cool.
* In [[Voltaire (musician)|Voltaire]]'s song ''Alchemy Mondays'', in the middle he stops to say "Hold everything they're playing my song!" and he sings part of one of his most famous songs, ''When You're Evil'', and then continues with the song.
Line 14 ⟶ 16:
* Veruca Salt's song "Volcano Girls" references their past hit song "The Seether", with the line "Well, here's another clue if you please/The Seether's Louise" (as in Louise Post, one of the band's former leaders). This is also a reference to the aforementioned Beatles song "Glass Onion".
* Tommy and Gina, from Bon Jovi's "Living On A Prayer", are referenced fourteen years later in "It's My Life":
{{quote|''And this is for the ones who stood their ground''
''For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down.'' }}
** Tommy and Gina didn't have to wait 14 years for a name check. They're mentioned in "99 in the Shade" off of the ''New Jersey'' album.
{{quote|''Somebody tells me even Tommy's coming down tonight''
''If Gina says it's all right.'' }}
* Steve Miller name checks three of his previous songs in the opening lines of "The Joker" ("Space Cowboy," "Gangsters of Love" and "Enter Maurice"). Of course The Joker became a much bigger hit than any of those, to the point mentioning the earlier songs often confuses people. (When Rock Band released both Space Cowboy and The Joker simultaneously, many were confused, thinking they were the same song.)
* The Guns n' Roses song "Coma," has the lines "It's so easy to be social/It's so easy to be cool/It's easy to be hungry cause you ain't got shit to lose," a nod to their song "It's So Easy" from their first album.
Line 46 ⟶ 48:
* [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]] has many:
** Tony Banks plays an electric grand piano part with the same over-the-hand technique he developed on a few of the track on [[The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway]] for "No Reply At All".
** The lyrics to the "Willow Farm" section of ''[[
*** The end section of of ''[[
**
* [[Emilie Autumn]]'s song Swallow has the line "I'm not a fairy, but I need/more than this life, so I became..." referencing her Enchant era where she performed in fairy wings.
Line 53 ⟶ 55:
* Knife Party's "Centipede" opens with "Giant tropical Centipedes share their territories with Tarantulas." A nod to Tarantula by [[Pendulum]]
