Bruce -- Tenth Avenue Freeze Out
When the change was made uptown and the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city, all the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half
Luke Combs -- Doin' This
Having a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
Singin' them same damn songs like I am now
I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage
Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
Boston - Rock & Roll Band
Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis
We were getting pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didn't seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name

Barracuda - Heart

Also the most famous to me is Radio, Radio - Elvis Costello who earned a ban from SNL when he quit playing the song Columbia Records wanted him to play and instead stopped and played Radio Radio instead. I remember seeing it live.
TIL
According to Ann Wilson, Mushroom Records, the band’s former label, tried to pull a publicity stunt in which they wanted to convince fans that Ann and her sister/bandmate Nancy were lovers. In response, an enraged Ann wrote “Barracuda” about the ruthlessness and overall sleaziness of the music industry, likening them to a dangerous fish.
Heart also scrapped their in-progress record and left the label, opting instead to sign with Portrait Records, who released “Barracuda” on the band’s 1977 album “Little Queen.”
