Of course there's the Bowie song and "Andy's Chest", but are there any other songs that namecheck him or are about him? (Excepting "Songs For Drella", obviously) Thanks in advance.

Ultravox - Artificial Life ("She ran through divine light, chemicals, Warhol, Scientology, her own sex")Lou Reed - Dime Store MysteryLou Reed - Vicious (sort of -- Andy told him to write a song about "vicious" - Lou asked "What kind of vicious?" Andy said "Like, you hit me with a flower.")
And, erm, I wrote a song about Warhol - inspired by something from his diaries: http://lingereffect.bandcamp.com/track/popism

Oh and, of course, Warhol is supposedly the "Napoleon in rags" and/or "diplomat" of Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone."
