Allude: To refer broadly or indirectly. Music, art, writing, performances often, if not always, are based on or make references to previous works. They "play off of" what we know.
Collusion: a secret agreement or conspiracy for an illegal or deceptive purpose. Based on Col, from con = with, thus it contains the meaning "play along with".
