Reply to comment by ImGumbyDamnIt in Songs that tip the hat to earlier songs by ShortBusRide

Yeah, I didn't include stuff like that because most of them are references to artists, not to songs. I didn't know the Who Wrote The Book of Love reference.

Fair enough. "Jack be nimble, jack be quick, jack Flash sat on a candle stick" is a reference to the Stones song "Jumping Jack Flash" and "fire's the devil's only friend" is to "Sympathy for the Devil". "Helter Skelter in a summer swelter", Beatles, "Helter Skelter". "Eight miles high and falling fast" is for The Byrds song "Eight Miles High".
