'Velvet Underground' - Jonathan Richman

"well you look at that band
and you will be saying
where is all of this noise coming from
with just four people playing?"

and of course 'Geno' by Dexys

which gets extra points for basically saying "thanks and everything, but i'm now much better than you ever were"

besides, all of the above mentioned are soooooo good!
that makes a great mixtape (yeah, too indie maybe - that's me). you can add the fun lovin' criminals' "barry white" to make it broader... or barry adamson's "miles"... oh i must stop it, i just can't help adding more and more names to this list!

The FLC song was called "Love Unlimited". And it was the nadir of their career. Which is quite impressive, really.

"When Smokey Sings" by ABC, and Spandau Ballet had that line about "Listening to Marvin," in "True."

Speaking of which, Eazy-E from NWA's "Eightball": "Put in the old tape/Marvin Gaye's Greatest Hits/turned the shit up had the bass col' rompin'/cruisin' through the Eastside south of Compton."

Spandau Ballet and NWA united at last!

True, but it's on Miles' album, Miles got the songwriting credit, and Miles (presumably) got to name the track. It's definitely some sort of tribute.
