Daft Punk - Teachers

but there must be a million songs that mention other bands/musicians in the lyrics, so I'm not going to search further... now, a mention of another band/musician in the title of the song, I can't think of anything at the moment...

One of the most immediately obvious is Unseen Powers of the Picket Fence by Pavement. The chorus consists of "R.E.M!" and SM opens the song by saying something along the lines of "There's a lot of bands i've name dropped, but one we haven't done yet is R.E.M." whole song is about REM.
