I'm not talking about songs that just name someone (there's more than I could ever list). I'm referring to songs that name someone famous or well known. For instance the Beastie Boys "name check" Abe Vigoda in "Posse in Effect".

Lou Reed's, "Smalltown"
The Lyrics:
Where did Picasso come from
There's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh
...
I hate being odd in a small town
If they star let them stare in New York City
at this pink eyed painting albino
How far can my fantasy go?
I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
No adorable lisping Capote
Who They Mention:
painter Pablo Picasso
artist Michelangelo
painter Salvador Dali
writer Truman Capote
The song is about Andy Warhol who came from Pittsburgh and is referred to as the "pink eyed painting albino" in the song even though he wan't an albino
