'cabaret song in montmartre' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'the trick is to incorporate holbein's name' is the wordplay.
'the trick' becomes 'con' (a con is a fraud or trick).
'is to incorporate' indicates putting letters inside.
'holbein's name' becomes 'hans' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'con' going around 'hans' is 'CHANSON'.

'into' is the link.
