Apart from the Royal Guardsmen's career and the Dukes of Stratosphear's "You're a Good Man, Albert Brown," are there any other musical references to Peanuts out there?
And no, the Coasters' "Charlie Brown" doesn't count.
(On a side note, the classic A Billy Corgan Christmas.)

A lackluster Indiana-based new wave band called Rods & Cones recorded a rock version of the dance music from A Charlie Brown Christmas circa 1984.

I like to think the Van Pelt were named after Linus and Lucy, but I suspect I read somewhere that they weren't.

...I also like to think that "Red Haired Girl" by Eric's Trip is Peanuts-related, so I guess I just like reading Peanuts references into 90s indie rock on the basis of no evidence whatsoever (and there isn't any)

Zeitgeist/Reivers pretty much always played their version of "Linus & Lucy" live--never made it onto one of their records.

The awful 'Cha Cha Slide' has an instruction to "Charlie Brown" - maybe you're supposed to miskick a football and fall on your arse.

Two Man Sound, "Charlie Brown"
And I always thought the Allman Brothers' "Jessica" sounded kind of like the "Peanuts Theme," but it's probably only my imagination:

Liz Phair's singing voice early on = a Peppermint Patty reference (according to Rob Sheffield, at least)

Moved there from Atlanta, was there from 84-87 and moved back, regrettably. Got Zeitgeist together with Danny Beard of dB Recs. back in Atlanta after I saw them play in someone's living room. Hell of a little band, they were.

Does the sample from the start of PM Dawn's "Jesus Wept" album count?

"Things Don't Change" is still one of those perfect songs.

There's always Calvin Johson's Snoopy phone. I think there's also an episode of Soft Focus where he talks about the Peanuts as a model for the underground. Soft Focus w/ Calvin J

Napoleon XIVth's "Let's Cuddle Up In My Security Blanket" may kinda count, depending on whether or not the term "security blanket" had entered the public domain by 1966.
