Althea and Donna's "Uptown Top Ranking" is mentioned in The Psychedelic Furs' "We Love You".
The Psychedelic Furs' "We Love You" shares a title with a 1967 single released by the Rolling Stones allegedly as a thank you message to fans who had supported Mick, Keith and Brian during their incarceration for drug possession.
The Rolling Stones are mentioned, along with Elvis and the Beatles, in "1977" by The Clash.

Connect Femi Kuti to Stevie Nicks in ten moves or less.
Ha!
― Nitsuh, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)
FEMI KUTI
has been produced on a number of occasions by
JAMES POYSER
who is probably best known for his arrangements on tracks by
COMMON
who was recently in a poll of gay hip hop fans called the most homophobic rapper in existance, beating off competition from
EMINEM
who had his "97 Bonnie and Clyde" covered by
TORI AMOS
who has both slept with and had a crap song written about them by Mr Trent Reznor, as has
COURTNEY LOVE
who, in the film Sid and Nancy, utters the line "I look like fucking....
STEVIE NICKS"
Ouch.
Anyone fancy linking Eddie Cochrane to Third Eye Blind in under 10 steps?

THREE TENORS

Tracer--have you ever heard the Johnny Thunders' acoustic song "Hurt Me"? It's sort of a solo S&M song, not really a fantasy, though. Why am I always talking about Johnny Thunders?

Trio's cover of Harry Belafonte's "Banana Boat Song" produced by Klaus Voormann.
Klaus Voormann plays bass on some of John Lennon's solo stuff.
John and Yoko appear on the Rolling Stones Rock N Roll Circus.
Latter-day Rolling Stone Ron Wood's first band, The Birds, cover Motown chestnut "Leavin' Here."
As did Motorhead.
Lemmy Kilmeister of Motorhead played bass in Hawkwind.
(That's six, but there must be a more direct route from Voormann to Hawkwind)
Harry Belefonte's music was featured in the film Beetlejuice starring Winona Ryder, who has been romantically linked to Dave Grohl, who recently recorded a song with Lemmy. Challenge me, people.
