In-Song Aural Mentions and Hat Tipping

On the daily commute to the Nose/Grindtone interface today, The Silver Seas "What's the Drawback" popped up on shuffle.

While I'm not new to them nor the Chateau Revenge album, today's listen made me have a think.

The line "she likes the magic chords in the ELO" is followed by some ELO-alike string parts.

Now - I know that other musicians are often mentioned in songs by other artists, but I totally blanked on what songs also do those little "sounds a bit like the person just mentioned" bits apart from Belle & Sebastian's "I'm a Cuckoo" where they do a little bit of twin guitar widdly-widdly (technical term) after the line "I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh".

The only other one I thought of, and then immediately discarded was ABCs When Smokey Sings, as they were samples rather than little bits played in the song.

Help me out, Massive - what are the others out there?
