Not on topic, but at some point in the past I found a MP3 of the Holy Modal Rounders playing Mr. Spaceman. Flash forward to 60s on 6 Sirius radio and up pops Mr Bassman which was earlier by 1 year. I never knew Spaceman was a parody.

The Guitar Man - Bread
Bread has many great hits and The Guitar Man is one of their best about the music industry.
*
Who draws the crowd and plays so loud
Baby it’s the guitar man
Who’s gonna steal the show
You know, baby, it’s the guitar man
He can make you love
He can make you cry
He will bring you down
Then he’ll get you high
Somethin’ keeps him goin’
Miles and miles a day
To find another place to play

From Not Fragile by BTO
Rock is My Life, and This is My Song
That’s not really about the music, though, otherwise I’d have mentioned it in post #9. 
Yesterday Once More by the Carpenters.
Tribute, by Tenacious D.
In the ‘Peel back the curtain’ division we have Blues Traveler’s ‘Hook’. It’s a song about how easy it can be to write a song that people will buy.
Killing Me Softly - Roberta Flack
Twist me to the left! Dollyrots. of course.
I’m not really sure how it goes; but it’s sad, and it’s sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man’s clothes…
Hook by Blues Traveler. Though, as you can see by the lyrics it’s less a tribute and more a cynical commentary.
Thank You For the Music - Abba
Oops, Jonathan Chance beat me to it :smack: Mea culpa
