"(How To Be a) Millionaire" by ABC asks, "Who wants to be a millionaire?", 13 years before that show debuted (on ABC, no less.)

"Billionaire" by Travie McCoy f/Bruno Mars has the line: "I would have a show like 'Oprah'."

As many songs as there are that start with the word "and", "(How to Be a) Millionaire" could be the only charted record ever to end with "and"!

Sorry. The last word in the lyrics is "and." This reminded me of another song that ended in the middle of a sentence - it took me awhile to remember which one it was - Let's Put It All Together.

Chicago's "Dialogue" from the end of '72 is another. "We can make it hap..." In the middle of a word, even.

In “Parents Just Don’t Understand,” Will Smith mentions “The Brady Bunch.” It also mentioned "Sha Na Na", a variety series from the late 1970s.

Also I guess an argument can be made that Let's Put It All Together may not have ended in the middle of a sentence. It may instead have been a case of an expectation having been set by the previous lyrics.

In "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It," Will Smith says, "movin' on up like George and Weezy" which is a reference to "The Jeffersons."

I wonder if it would be accurate to state that this is an example of a circular mention - the Jeffersons theme invoking the lyrics of We're A Winner by the Impressions and then being mentioned by Will Smith.

Just heard "We're a Winner" yesterday on Dave Hoeffel's Sirius-XM "60s Satelite Survey'from this week in March '68 and also connected the 'Movin' on up...' lyric in the song with "The Jeffersons".
