Two I love are Jupiter, Florida by Christmas and Despair by the Skeleton Killers.

Less obscure, but if you're outside NZ you might not know White Valiant by the Muttonbirds.

Little River Band's Reminiscing mentions "the Porter tune Night and Day." Both classics now, from different eras.

Edit: another one. Bowie's Life on Mars? has the line "look at those cavemen go," echoing the line "look at that caveman go" in the Hollywood Argyles' Alley-Oop.

First three that jump to mind are The Cars, Hall and Oates, and David Bowie. You've got a somewhat broad list there, so I think all three of these have some overlap.
