I can think of two examples: "Tonight, Tonight" by Hot Chelle Rae, in 2011 makes reference to a 1963 hit by Lesley Gore (it's my party, and I'll dance if I want to) and "I Beg Your Pardon, a 1989 song by Kon Kan (after the opening line of Rose Garden by Lynn Anderson).

One old time classic song of this type is "Summer Rain" by Johnny Rivers, from the fall of 1967. The bridge passage references two notable songs from earlier in the year:
All summer long
we spent Groovin' in the sand,
While the jukebox kept on playing
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
