10,000 Mainiacs - after herschell gordon lewis's classic gore-munching
		  "film": 2,000 Maniacs

"Killing an Arab" - swiped by the Cure from one o' dem Camus novels

"Charlotte Sometimes" - another swipe by the Cure from a literary source
                        (anyone know?)

and I believe Steely Dan took their name from Burroughs' "Naked Lunch"
