Kinda obvious and potentially controversial, but:
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Southern Man (Neil Young)
It probably only came to mind because I was in Choir as a child and we sang Sweet Home Alabama, Mother Freedom and (Four Dead In) Ohio at our Spring concert one year...doubt a school could get away with that these days.

I would have to add "Alabama" by Neil Young along with "Southern Man" to this. Lynyrd Skynyrd did not directly say Alabama in the song, but sang:
"Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow".
I think it was that song Alabama that really pissed them off. Well, Neil Young pissed off a lot of people with his music.
I wished I could have been at your spring concert when you all sang, "(Four Dead In) Ohio".
Yes, the references to those songs are very clear.
American Pie, Don McLean
”Rollin’ Stone” (Dylan)
”Helter Skelter” (Beatles)
”Eight miles high” (Byrds)
”Book of love” (Monotones)
