Not sure, but I’m going to take a stab with:
Meatloaf. Cracker Jack is from Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad, and patootie might be from Hot Patootie from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that one had multiple possible answers. I’ll say:
Rolling Stones. The first three cities are all mentioned in “Rip This Joint,” and Jackson is in “Country Honk.”

Yep! Norfolk, VA, is from a Chuck Berry tune he covered, and cheerleaders is from the classic “I’ll Kill You If You Don’t Come Back” (hi, Siege!):
Somebody bless all the cheerleaders down on the tracks
They’re glistening like diamonds with sweat on the backs 
or “their backs” Make that

Steely Dan. Oleander is the giveaway, that’s from “My Old School.” Kerosene is from “Kid Charlemagne.” Zombie is from “Haitian Divorce,” although I first thought of “All You Zombies.” Can’t think offhand of where Blueprint is from.

Zombie isn’t from “Haitian Divorce”, its from “Turn That Heartbeat Over Again”
