Songs with other songs in the lyrics

[Kowalski]

Paint a Vulgar Picture - The Smiths

And when it fails to recoup then maybe,

You just haven't earned it yet baby

 

[grumpyoldgit]

Hasn't this been done recently? I nominate The Pirates with Johnny B Goode's Good. Manages to squeeze in a reference to Roll Over Beethoven as well. 2 for the price of one!

 

[Brian Marwood]

The exquisite Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five by Wings ends with the line 'Band On the Run'

 

[grumpyoldgit]

Beatles link:
All You Need is Love fades out with the chorus of She Loves You sung by Lennon.

 

[Ignore_Alien_Orders]

Remote Control in Complete Control

Glass Onion mentions The Fool On The Hill among others.

 

[guisborough_rob]

Bowie references Major Tom from Space Oddity in Ashes To Ashes. Both were number 1s.

 

[king_hellfire]

The Stone Roses - Breaking into Heaven, has the lyrics ’listen up sweet child o’ mine have i got news for you. ‘



How about songs with non-existent songs in the lyrics?

I’ll go with Wilco - The Late Greats

 

[parmoboy]

Oasis - D'You Know What I Mean?

"The fool on the hill and I feel fine"
