Speaking of the French. Although it’s not actually mentioned in the song, Bye Bye Badman by The Stone Roses is based on the Paris student riots in 1968. Which I wouldn’t have learned about otherwise.

Protest song ‘68 by Refused is also about this apparently.

"If Queen Isabella hadn't pawned her jewels, in 1492"

Columbus reference by Jimmy Jones in 'Good Timin'

edit: also just remembered, " in 1814, we took a little trip,
Along with Colonel Packenham down the mighty Mississipp'.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
And we fought the bloomin British in the town of New Orleans"

(Lonnie Donegan, Battle of new Orleans)

In Xanadu a pleasuredome did Kubla Khan erect
Hoo-haa! hoo-haa!

According to Frankie. Admittedly Frankie’s source was a smacked-up 18th century rhyme-artist from Ottery St. Mary.

The Men They Couldnt Hang introduced me to the words of Thomas Paine,
On my barren soil they fell like the sweetest drops of rain...

Apparently The Buggles made history by writing a song which predicted the future (past to us though) with Video killed the radio star.

Aside from that OMD with Enola Gay.
