“As the angels sing an old Hank Williams song, time marches on.” It should be remembered that allusion refers to the PROPER name of the character. All of the other choices that are mentioned above have common nouns.

The fact that this is specific makes this an example of an allusion. Other examples may be: “Like the Pandora’s box, she did not know what situation she is getting into until she is already there.” Take note that allusions are considered to be a part of creative writing.
