'Moskow Diskow' by Telex mentions Brigitte Bardot. I know she's nothing to do with music :-? but I so love this euro-disco classic track.

Other quotations worth mentioning:
Banarama - Robert De Niro's Waiting
Delegation - Dance Like Fred Astaire
Darryl Duncan - James Brown
George Benson - Marvin Said
Also, lots of jazz titles use artists names in them, most noticably the standard "I Remember Clifford" (recorded by almost everybody throughout the last 40 years)

There's a Rick James or Teena Marie track, can't remember which one (& I havent got time to go rummaging!) that mentions the Temptations. (I think they did backing vocals on it.)

That could be Rick James - Superfreak, he says "Temptations sing !" before the oohh ooohh ooohh break part. 8)Originally Written by Steely Dan

Thats the one DJ-Pir! Teena Marie wasn't even involved on that was she, so I must be thinking about her 'It Must Be Magic' which featured the Temps on backing vocals. The old memory isn't what it used to be! :(
