Don’t worry, there’s no need to panic (even if you were old enough to spot the reference) this is not going to be a tribute post to that ‘icon’ of 1960/70s light entertainment …
So many good choices here! Hard to nail down even 20. If I were to add one, it'd likely be Jawbreaker's "Chesterfield King."
"She asked me if I had a name
Told her I was glued up on some chick
We sat and smoked against the wall
Drank a beer, felt the chill of fall, of fall"

With so many US based references I guess it also works as a sort of transatlantic counterpoint to the parochial Englishness of 'Up the Junction'.
