“Can’t Touch Me” and “My God This House Is Freakin’ Sweet” from Family Guy might qualify.
“Ju ju ju just like the bad guy/ from Lethal Weapon II/ I’ve got diplomatic immunity/ so Hammer you can’t sue…”
No specific brand names mentioned, I believe, but Tom Waits’ Step Right Up is basically a long string of advertising cliches.
“Science Fiction Double Feature” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show
“Back When My Hair Was Short” by Gun Hill Road. The original song was filled wiht 60s pop culture references. It was rerecorded with lyrics filled with 50s pop culture references.
The middle section of “A Praise Chorus” by Jimmy Eat World consists entirely of snippets of other songs and pop references (some admittedly obscure.)
As they say in another part of the song “stick around, nostalgia won’t let you down.”
Actually, a levy is a kind of tax. Don McLean drove his Chevy to the levee.
To add to the list:
Rock And Roll Heaven, The Righteous Brothers
Terry Cashman wrote Willie, Mickey and the Duke, also known as Talkin’ Baseball, largely a list of players’ names and nicknames. Cashman later wrote and recorded versions for most (if not all) teams in the majors, including the Detroit Tigers.
That would be “Initials”.
LBJ took the IRT down to 4th Street USA
When he got there, what did he see?
The youth of America on LSD
Best video ever!
The song Hello by… umm, forgotten - help! It consists of a long string of celebrities’ names with the refrain “Hello, hello, hello…”
Who did that?
Sheryl Crow’s The Na-Na Song is another.
I didn’t know there were so many of these…
"Ball of Confusion" by the Temptations
Refers to just about everything occurring in the early 1970’s.

Reality Chuck - I thought there was only one rendition of Gunhill Road’s “Back When My Hair Was Short” - and I thought it included 50’s and 60’s references.

Anyone? Googling doesn’t help here. late 1980s-ish, British indie band I think.
Pop Will Eat Itself - Can You Dig It?
Sample lyrics:
We dig Optimus Prime and not Galvetron,
We dig “The Leader of the Pack” and the “Do-Run-Run”,
Spinderella and Bruce Lee, “The Bad and the Ugly”,
“V for Vendetta” and “Into the Groovy”.
(Can U dig it?)
Vogue by Madonna?
You Were Right by Built to Spill from their album Keep it Like a Secret. I think you can listen to it on their website. All classic rock lyric references.
Garden Party by Ricky Nelson.
Thats all I got.
The Beloved?
Mark Wills Nineteen Something has references to 1970s and 1980s fads.
Sample lyrics:
“R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A” by John Mellencamp springs to mind, too. I wish I hadn’t thought of this song just now – now it’s buried in my brain. (I’m not a Mellencamp fan by any stretch.)
LFO’s “Summer Girls” - Has got to be the most annoying radio song from about 5 years back. Every second or third line has some random reference that has absolutly nothing to do with the storyline of the rest of the song. I personally think they were just having serious trouble coming up with rhyming words.
Most of the Beastie Boys’ songs have tons of pop culture references, especially the the singles from their last 2 big albums.
Some info on Ch-Check It Out with a breakdown of all the references, and a link to lyrics.
