	"Jumping Jack Flash" by the Rolling Stones ("So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick/Jack Flash sat on a Candlestick" - a reference to the Stones' Candlestick park concert) and "8 Miles High" by the Byrds ("The birds flew off with the fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast") could also be answers for American Pie. Just a suggestion. Great quiz overall though

	The most obvious reference in American Pie is to "That'll Be The Day" by Buddy Holly. ("Singin' this'll be the day that I die".) And I believe the Babyface track that Mariah refers to is actually "Two Ocassions" by The Deele, Babyface's first band. Nice catch on Bobby Womack. The Gene Vincent track is "Be Bop a Lula". You've listed it as "Lula". And for Train, if "that's Mr. Mister on the radio stereo" then it can only be "Kyrie" or "Broken Wings". They aren't directly mentioned in the song, but what else by Mr Mister ever got airplay? If you update the above, I'd be delighted to make this an Editor's choice.

	As cheeky as the Coldplay reference appears, the question asked "can you name the songs that reference OTHER songs" not themselves.

	Thank you rockgolf - I made the changes you suggested. I actually never realized the connection between "that'll be the day" and "American Pie" but it makes perfect sense to me (and makes American Pie that much sadder. Thanks also for the catch on the Mr. Mister songs (and how to correctly write their name). I knew they never mentioned the song directly, but never thought to look deeper. I also removed "Yellow." It was a pretty controversial choice at my house as well when I asked my family to test my quiz.

	You could also add in Savoy Truffle by The Beatles as well since there's a lyric that goes: "We all know Ob-la-di-bla-da"

	On American Pie: Typo on Helter Skelter, and would you accept Book of Love with out the 'The'?

	dtmich:	Aug 12th, 2010 at 02:14 GMT		1 point
	Didn't accept Helter Skelter for me..... Good quiz though.... One of my favorite examples of this in Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend, they reference Get Low by Lil' John... "First the window, then it's to the wall, Lil John, he always tells the truth" .... Lil John's lyric of course is "To the window, to the wall, to the sweat drip down my balls..."

	Yep -- didn't accept "Helter Skelter" for me either, though I got the answer correct with "Book of Love." Good quiz. There are probably enough referencing songs out there to make a sequel. Metric's big hit from last year "Gimme Sympathy" mentions "Here Comes the Sun" in its chorus.

	Helter skelter should be fixed now.

	Panther:	Aug 12th, 2010 at 23:25 GMT		2 points
	Helter Skelter + Eight MILES HIGH?

	Mibelle816:	Aug 13th, 2010 at 08:01 GMT		2 points
	does anyone know if sporcle has a character limit for answers. Ive added those several times, and they keep dissapearing. I a hitting save if that matters

	cmn8:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 03:46 GMT		2 points
	I knew not to expect it, but I was kinda hoping for "Backstabbers" by the Dresden Dolls to be on here, the answer being, "My songs." ("So don't tell me what to write/and don't tell me that I'm wrong/and don't tell me not to reference/my songs within my songs")

	Johhny Rivers in Summer Rain referenced Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band....but I guess he was refering to the album and not the song.

	dxman:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 00:41 GMT		2 points
	you spelled referenced wrong

	devilsfan15:	Aug 17th, 2010 at 03:00 GMT		2 points
	If only I knew how to spell Be Bop a Lula...

	"Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen references "Only the Lonely" by Roy Orbison. It would be nice if you accepted "Idiot Wind" as a bonus answer for "Only Wanna Be With You".

	Davidmon5:	Jan 10th, 2011 at 14:58 GMT		1 point
	"Thunder Road" and "Runnin' Down a Dream" are the two songs that automatically pop in my head when this subject comes up. I had spent a couple hours combing for more examples, preparing notes, when I sat down to make my own quiz and saw that this one had already been made! I have a number that weren't on yours, so I decided to go ahead and contribute it anyway, but I do have to admit I shamelessly stole Radar Love and Shooting Star, I never would have thought of those. My version: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Davidmon5/SongsInLyrics
