Thread Name: Metasongs, songs within songs
Subject: RE: Metasongs, songs within songs
Jackson Browne, in "HOLD OUT", sings, "How we laughed when we first knew love / singing lum-di-lum-di-lie...", a reference to "MICKEY'S MONKEY" by Smokey Robinson.

And "Do You Like Soul Music" is, I think, "Sweet Soul Music" by Arthur Connelly (which itself is a gloss on a song called "YEAH, MAN"). Begs for a folk version, a la "Old Time Religion".
