Music artists who plagiarize themselves

I don't know if this will go anywhere, but it's worth a try.

There are undoubtably a few songs out there where an artist/group used words from previous songs in newer songs. In other words, they plagiarized themselves. Sometimes it's just a nod to earlier hits, sometimes they just run out of fresh ideas - who knows why they do it, but it fascinates me. I know of one obvious example, which I will list first. If any readers have any to add to the list, e-mail me your suggestion (kplesz [at] hotmail [dot] com) or put it in the comments and I will add them (if they qualify). The borrowed words must be from the same artist/group - exception - the artist can borrow words from a group they used to be in.

1. Beatles - All You Need Is Love. Has the words "She loves you yeah yeah yeah" from She Loves You. (submitted by Karl Plesz)

Your turn......
