Lots of the Mountain Goats songs do this but my faves are:

"Mr Steven Tyler On the overhead radio... He doesn't want to miss a thing"

The narrator is eating in a diner. It's so perfectly evocative of the scene.

Anti-Music Song, which is all references to other songwriters.

"I saw you on TV Doing an imitation of an imitation of Jimi Hendrix That's really pathetic."

The Hold Steady song “Girls go for Status” references MG. “It was song number three on John’s last CD/ I’m gonna make it through this year if it kills me/ and it almost killed me.
