Not the same as the comic strip character.
You’re a good man Charlie Brown — Clark Gesner
Ramble On by Led Zepplin has a verse that mentions Gollum.
You know any non-fictional werewolves?

He sees her
He starts to shake and cough
just like the
old man in
that book by Nabakov
“old man in that book by Nabakov” = Humbert Humbert, thr protagonist of Lolita
“Quinn the Eskimo”? – Bob Dylan
The song title is a reference to the movie Werewolf of London, ergo, it refernces a specific character.

Uhm,
Superman (It’s Not Easy), by . . . . I can’t think of the band right now.
Cat’s In The Cradle – Harry Chapin (Silver Spoon, Little Boy Blue, Man in the Moon)
Who does the song Daria refer to?
If you’re alluding to the animated show “Daria,” I believe the CAKE song predates the show by a year or two.
I’ll add:
Barenaked Ladies - “One Week” - Mentions Aquaman and Sailor Moon.
