    Prine's lyric about Rome:

    "And they rented a flat on the lower east side of Rome...
    Italy that is
    Music publishers, book binders, Bible belters, Money Changers,
    Spoon Benders and lots of pretty Italian chicks."

    echoes the BH theme song ("The Ballad of Jed Clampett")

    "Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire
    Kin folk said Jed move away from there
    Said California is the place you oughta be
    So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
    (Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars)"

    This is cheating, but I might as well stick it in here.

    Not Beverly Hillbillies, but the intro to the Frank Black & The Catholics song "All My Ghosts" references the Green Acres theme song, as FB sings "Fresh air! Green hair."

    My favorite is "We're All Gonna Die Some Day" by Kasey Chambers...
    Nice "Hillbillies" quote in the guitar solo...

    Not the greatest guitar player but an incredible lyricist.

    Actually from the show, but not usually heard on its own: "Ellie May's Theme" by the groovy Perry Botkin on guitar.
