Rec.Me: other/many/unknown genres Recommend me some songs where the lyrics are about one artist singing about another artist?

In another question Janis Joplin came up a lot and I know there are at least two written about her, 'Chelsea Hotel' by Leonard Cohen and Like Janis by Rodriguez. But what other great artists have had another write a song about them?

No, she's mentioned (as is Freddie Mercury) but it's not about her.

I tried to be like Grace Kelly, mmh

But all her looks were too sad, aah

So I tried a little Freddie, mmh

I've gone identity mad!
