I was also thinking about songs that were about something totally else and then there was music within the song, as in Woody Guthrie's talking dust bowl blues, about getting everybody into one of them Ford machines and trying to get to California, and when they wreck the car "well man alive I'm telling you That the fiddles and the guitars really flew" - and suddenly the Okies are musicians. Not that we didn't know that already, but still, you see what I mean.

Any others like that? I know of songs that mention other songs, like And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda or that great country song where they yell "everybody solo!" (where the mentioned song, but not the song itself, is Bonaparte's Retreat). But I couldn't think of any others that just happen to mention that the characters in the song are musicians although that isn't what the song is about at all.
