5.) Bob Dylan
12.) Catherine the Great
14.) Charles Darwin (song also mentions Sir Isaac Newton & Art Linklater)

#12 & #26 are from songs by bands that are already among the answers.
#29 & #56 are from songs that name drop sooo many people, you just know they had to make the list somewhere.


..and here are two that, although I'll accept the answer posted, I hope you can find the answer I was looking for.
37.) Liberace - Nina Simone, "My Baby Just Cares For Me"
when Marty arrives back in 1955, this is the song he hears as he walks by the record store, which has a sign out front reading Just In - "Sixteen Tons" & "The Ballad of Davey Crocket"
39.) Mario Andretti - Shania Twain, "That Don't Impress Me Much"
the first hit record by a legendary southern rock band that has now gone over to the dark side.

ETA: make that 3...
28.) Greta Garbo - Madonna, "Vogue"
We heard this song recently from Dave, it was the #1 song of the whole year (and it is mostly talking about someone else on this list).

[Gazoo]

39.) Mario Andretti - Shania Twain, "That Don't Impress Me Much"
the first hit record by a legendary southern rock band that has no gone over to the dark side.

Ah!  Charlie Daniels Band, "Uneasy Rider"?

the first hit record by a legendary southern rock band that has no gone over to the dark side.

Ah!  Charlie Daniels Band, "Uneasy Rider"?

Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd
Comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot
And I guess I should-a gone ahead and run
But somehow I couldn't resist the fun
Of chasin' them all just once around the parkin' lot.

Well, they're headin' for their car, but I hit the gas
And spun around and headed them off at the pass
I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air
Ha Ha, well, I had 'em all out there steppin' and fetchin'
Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin'
But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there.

23.) Frank Zappa (this was the song every kid in the 70's learned on the guitar 1st)
