So sometimes I get an idea that forms specifically around some aspect of pop culture. They're often song lyrics. If the reader knows the song, they appreciate the symbolism and allegory or whatever other crazy stuff I didn't quite intend but they decided to see in it, and if they don't know the song they go "it's nice, but what was that song?" Granted that I have eclectic tastes in music, but this has even happened with Elton John lyrics. SO how do I approach referencing something that a good portion of my readers won't be familiar with?
