I listened too deeply to a Phineas and Ferb song and now you all are subject to just how clever "I'm Lindana and I Wanna Have Fun" is.
It's just 80s music references the pop song and I respect the fuck out of that.
For starters Lindana is clearly a mashing together of Linda and Madonna.
The "I wanna have fun" part is very much an allude to Cyndi Lauper's "Girl's Just Want To Have Fun."
"I'm not Roxanne" i.e. "Roxanne" by The Police
"I'm not Eileen" i.e. "Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners
"I'm not Sharona" i.e. "My Sharona" by The Knack
"I'm not Veronica" i want to say this is a reference to Veronica by Elvis Costello, but I'm not actually certain since it's much later 80s than the rest of these.
"Or Alison" likely a reference to Alison Moyet or possibly "Alison" by Elvis Costello
"Or Donna" likely a reference to Donna Summer or it could be referencing "Who's Holding Donna Now" by DeBarge.

Eileen lagging behind me, moaning about her leg hurts.

Thinking about Dexys Midnight Runners not for any particular reason other than that's a sick fucking band name

These people round here
Wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
Resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never), no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever
