It\'s not the Shout Out but Referenced By trope, and thus go in Trivia.


* ShoutOut: The music video for Music/TomPetty's "Running Down a Dream" is taken straight out of the Little Nemo in Slumberland comics, complete with a LawyerFriendlyCameo from Flip, by using a cigar smoking little imp who looked vaguely similar to Flip but different enough (the comic wasn't public domain yet at the time, unfortunately).
