    The Barenaked Ladies had a song with some of the lyrics of all time such as

    “Chickity China the Chinese chicken/ Have a drumstick and your brain starts clickin’”^1

    “Like Harrison Ford, I’m getting frantic/ Like Sting, I’m tantric/ Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy/ Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, 'kay, I don’t make films/ But if I did they’d have a Samurai”^2

    ^1 a reference to A Tribe Called Quest

    ^2 a bunch more references

    The song has an “Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny” style reference humour thrown at the listener in a rapid fire fashion. References ranging from Japanese cinema to classic hip hop to the Kāmasūtra to DC comics.
