I see three named after songs ("Mr. Sandman," "Sweet Caro-brine," and "Every day I'm Shovelin'"). Did I miss any?

Snowbody Like You (Scorpions - Nobody Like You)

No/Snow More Mr. Ice Guy (Alice Cooper - No More Mr. Nice Guy)

Snow Diggity (Blackstreet, Dr. Dre - No Diggity)

Blizzard of Oz (Ozzy Osbourne album Blizzard of Ozz)

My guess is License to Chill is more of an homage to James Bond’s License to Kill, which predates the Beastie Boys

Myea, the last two are probably movie references, but I saw a theme and I went with it.

And I think Blizzard of Oz is a reference to Wizard of Oz which predated Ozzy for quite a bit
