You want to cite a song lyric in your essay. What does the in-text citation look like?
I do not understand what Elton John's song "Benny and the Jets" is about. Is it fiction? Is it code? Is it about drug use? What, for example, does he mean when he says "The spotlight's hitting something that's been known to change the weather, we'll kill the fatted calf tonight" (00:31-00:38)?
If you don't use the song title in the sentence: What does Elton John mean when he sings, "The spotlight's hitting something that's been known to change the weather, we'll kill the fatted calf tonight" ("Benny and the Jets," 00:31-00:38)?

In text: When Buddy answers the telephone by asking, "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" he demonstrates a protocol for small talk that, though appropriate in the North Pole, is unconventional in the context of efficiency-oriented New York, where he takes the call (00:45:08).

Ex: Kyle Palka wrote an essay called "I Didn't Have A Low," which you found in an anthology called Secrets from My Weekend, edited by Ally Feeney.

How do you quote a poem in-text?
Ex: Shakespeare's Sonnet 130
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
Shakespeare anatomizes the woman he loves when he describes her piecemeal: "If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; / If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head" (3-4).
Or
The poetic object is anatomized when the poem states, "If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; / If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head" (Shakespeare, 3-4).
