Don't think I've seen anything like this but eventually decided to post anyway.

I guess this would be primarily for Other Artists referencing LC in their songs.

I'll start off with a little bit of Half Man Half Biscuit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNUylThv2f8 (The Leonard reference is approx 2mins in)

The Lyrics are here http://www.chrisrand.com/hmhb/achtung-b ... ters-sent/ and the last Verse contains the Cohen Reference(s)

"Thirteen across
Where was the clue?
Bird on the wire
Len, you’re the dog’s"

Skyhooks - Ego Is Not A Dirty Word

One of my favourite songs, with major Leonard Cohen mentions, is "There is a Light," by Rae Spoon:

And, this song's title gives away the Leonard Cohen reference: "I Love Leonard Cohen," by Robin Grey, featured on a rather special video:

And then there are a couple tunes by Nancy White, all about Leonard, which I don't know if videos exists, but here are the lyrics:

Murray, I'm embarrassed to say, I was never aware of that line in the song, despite having heard it many times over the years!

I guess I just never really paid much attention to the Skyhooks or their songs (and lyrics).

Cheers,
Andrew

Maybe Jarkko might want to add all those songs and singers mentioned above to that list.
Nancy White's are there already.

Nirvana, with "pennyroyal tea"

So I can sigh eternally"

B4Real - thanks, it's amazing what you forget about after a few years away (think it's called growing old)

Here's another one, "In the Night Time" By The Delmore Effect

The Leonard mention comes at 1:04

I mention Leonard in my song 'Something To Leave', the last song off of my debut album entitled 'The Right Angle'. He was and is a big inspiration to me.
