You could well be right especially as Idol's terrific track 'Cradle Of Love' features in the film.
You also gotta love Ed O'Neill as the failed singer turned police Lieutenant who hates Ford Fairlaine with a passion for refusing to promote the former's awful single 'Booty Time' back in the day.
"Booty Time, Booty Time across the U.S.A.....Booty Time, Booty Time, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
I also like villain Wayne Newton's deliciously delivered line
"I even p***** in the Punch bowl!" and subsequent reaction shot.
Also, the reference to The Flintstones in the form of the rings worn by Brandon Call and Robert Englund,
"Yabba Dabba Doo!".
Tourist:
"Excuse me, can you tell us how to get to Mann's Chinese Theatre?"
Fairlaine:
"Go back to Michigan, a**wipe!"
Tourist:
"No, no we're from Wisconsin."
Fairlaine:
"Yeah and i'm from my dad's Penis! Get the f*** outta here!"
Lastly, the moment when 'Mr. Rock 'n' Roll Detective' gains admittance to Black Plague frontman Bobby Black's funeral:
Ticket tout:
"Get those Plague invites here!"
Fairlaine pulls up in his car and the above seller tells him entry costs $300.
Fairlaine:
"$300? You charged the chicks one!"
Ticket tout:
"Hey, they blew me!"
Fairlaine:
"$300 comin' up!"
