It was written to respond to Neil Young's "Southern Man" to stand up for the south

Everclear "Otis Redding":


Do you remember when we were strung out?
Eatin' top ramen, macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep
I wish I had one more life

I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be blind

I wish I could be like all my heroes
I wish I could be like all yours too
I wish I could sing like Otis Redding
I wish I could play this guitar in tune

Does "I Like My Car" count or is that just a namecheck on The Beach Boys.

What about Tahiti 80's "Mr. Davies" about Ray Davies of the Kinks. Song about band or name check?

Pete Townsend's "Rough Boys" -- Sex Pistols.

And the Drive-By Truckers wrote a great tune "Ronnie (Van Zant) and Neil":

-And out in California, a rock star from Canada writes a couple of great songs about the bad [censored] that went down
-"Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly told some truth
-But there were a lot of good folks down here and Neil Young wasn't around

-Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song
-Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song
-So He wrote "Powderfinger" for Skynyrd to record
-But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet Home Alabama" to the lord

Hmmm. What about I'm a Cuckoo. It's a namecheck but it also sounds like Thin Lizzy.
