Be Bop Deluxe - Modern Music. At the beginning of the track, there's a simulation of someone tuning a radio which includes several tunes. BBD's Axe Victim is one of them.

I thought I had put my 2c into this but I guess not.
When we was Fab by George Harrison talks about Tax Man.
Destroyer by Kinks references Lola.

Dude I love Be Bop Deluxe. Life in the Airways is one of the coolest songs of the 70s. I have 3-4 of their LPs and have bought several Bill Nelson thingies since then.

Cool. Modern Music is my favorite. Life In The Air Age is a close second. I have a bunch of BBD and a couple of BN releases, too. Some of it is on vinyl. I think you also mentioned Caravan and Gentle Giant, I like both of them a lot, too.

Plenty of Zappa's compositions include references to other stuff he'd written.
As well as a complete cross reference of popular music in the 20th century..

I used to know a bunch of them cross-referenced songs, but I sure can't think of them now.

'Reminiscing' by Little River Band That's the way it began, we were hand in hand
Glenn Miller's Band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And the Porter tunes (Night and Day)
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
And on the way back home I promised you'd never be alone
According to Wiki: " Night and Day" is a popular song by Cole Porter. It was written for the 1932 musical play Gay Divorce. It is perhaps Porter's most popular contribution to the Great American Songbook and has been recorded by dozens of artists."

"Requium for Thag" - Grok, Songs of the Cave Dwellers
It referenced "Thag Hit Thing On Head" - Thag, Songs of the Cave Dwellers
Interestingly enough, this song was also the first one to feature a prominent backbeat courtesy of Guh, who was fond of whacking large animals across the cranium with a heavy stick.

This has got to beat them all.....this whole song by Megadeth referenced one of their previous song titles or album. (I have this album (Youthansia) including many others from them and it has excellent guitar work from Marty Friedman & Dave Mustaine. As a matter of fact, I actually bought a lot of Megadeth's CD's due to Marty's melodic hooks/solos. Victory
Now, one day I started telling everyone that "Killing Is My Business.." and I was hung like a Martyr For "Looking Down The Cross" my "Skull Beneath The Skin"
Prophesied "Last Rites/Loved To Death" my friends Then I started seeing "Bad Omens" in my head "Good Mourning/Black Friday" will I "Wake Up Dead"?
If I "Ain't Superstitious" then this won't mean a Thing But some crazy **** has happened since "The Conjuring"
Not even close Not even close Not even close To overdose Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins A knife right through my heart, I am a victory Came "Anarchy" to "Set The World A Fire"
Pain of "Hook In Mouth", "In My Darkest Hour"
Corruption of the world "Peace Sells... But Nobody's Buying"
Ignorant Religion "Holy Wars" and the dying, "Tornado" nearly got me by the "Skin O' My Teeth"
"This Was My Life", "Foreclosure Of My Dreams"
May the past "Rust In Peace" In "Hangar 18"
And "Countdown To Extinction"
Just be a bad dream "Lucretia" said... Not even close Not even close Not even close To overdose Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins A knife right through my heart, I am a victory

Quadraphenia - The Who
Refers to My Generation and 5:15 "out of my brain on the train".
I Am The Sea - refers to Bellboy, Love Reign O'er Me, and Can You See The Real Me.
The album is full of cross-references.
