I assume you can't.

But you can quote people, isn't it kind of the same?

Can you add a line of two from a famous song? Does it matter if your character sings it or if he just says it?

Anyone know for sure?

Yes, you can.  Let the producer worry about getting the rights to it.

Yes you can. Famous lyrics, whole songs... whatever you like. Just be aware that it may be stripped out later... but that doesn't matter, you're adding them for effect, for mood... that's all that counts for now.
