added \"Your Song\", \"Perfume\", and \"Friday\"/\"Saturday\"
Added DiffLines:
* Music/EltonJohn with "Your Song" details the process of writing a song ("a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross") and the excuses why it is the only gift he can give. He even explains why a rambling part of the song is because he is covering his bases about the color of her eyes.
Added DiffLines:
*** "Perfume" also has a conspicuous shot of Britney's latest perfume.
Added DiffLines:
* Music/RebeccaBlack lampshades her most famous song, "Friday", in her sequel/follow-up, "Saturday". While there are several lyrical references to "Friday" in the "Saturday" music video, the most blatant is when she shows up to the party, and everybody is surprised to see her (i.e., that she would even show her face anywhere after the fiasco of "Friday").

* Music/KingCrimson do this in "Happy with What You Have to be Happy With" pretty much all the way through. The chorus beings "I'm gonna have to write a chorus..." until it is repeated, at which point it becomes "I guess we'll repeat the chorus." The verses are given similar treatment.

* The Prince song "1999" features the lyrics "I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray" and "I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so sue me if I go 2 fast".
* The Swedish song "Värsta schlagern" ("Such a Schlager"), sung by Markoolio and Linda Bengtzing, lampshades a lot of the tropes and clichés appearing in the EurovisionSongContest. The song itself is written and orchestrated like a typical "schlager", only the lyrics lampshade. Examples include a bridge going (my translation from the Swedish): "''What they reward with twelve points, is a sumptuous chorus''", part of the chorus going: "''There are stars and they're burning, there's the world and it's disappearing, and the title should hit you like a punch in the stomach, it's such a schlager''" and one memorable part going: "''If you don't want to ruin your chances of winning, you can steal something from ABBA and see the risk disappear.''"
