I'm nots sure if this has already been said, but the Brand New Song "Logan to Government Center" takes lyrics directly from The Cure's "Close to Me."

I never thought this day would end (never thought this day would end)
I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me (close to me)

Put on a little Dylan
sitting on a fence
I say that line is great
You ask me what I meant by
"Said I shot a man named Gray
Took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky"
I only wanna be with you
Ain't Bobby so cool?
I only wanna be with you

When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong by The Wonder Years:"'All we need is Kerouac and a glass of sweet tea, or burritos and New Found Glory."

Franco UnAmerican by NOFX: "I'm listening to Public Enemy and Reagan Youth"

Scenesters by Andrew Jackson Jihad: "They're so vain, and yes, this song is about them." reference to You're So Vain by Carly Simon

Hit or Miss by New Found Glory: "Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song"

I can think of so many more, several of which are NOFX songs :P

Erm, Cobra Starship's "Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We're Famous" references not only Pete Wentz in the title, but also their first album.
"While they sleep, we rule the streets."

Paramore kind of references "My Heart" on the song "Where the Lines Overlap."
"Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you."
"Now I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough, that you will sing it back to me."
