I can’t find any examples from The Zombies.
Bach. The famous one, the one you heard during Dangerous Liaisons.
Vivaldi. The version nobody plays, because Bach stole it and re-purposed it for his family to play. The bastard. 
(Also, I like the Bach version better. Sue me.)
I find it interesting that so many responses call out people who copied from the Beatles while not noting the documented cases of them pulling melodies, bass lines and other elements directly from other artists works.
Here are just a small number that I can think off of the top of my head. While it is the music an not the lyrics I think it applies as most samples are musical elements.
Beatles song: Original Artist - Original song
I Saw Her Standing There: Chuck Berry - I’m Talking About You
Come Together: Chuck Berry - You Can’t Catch Me
I Feel Fine: Bobby Parker - Watch Your Step (Also used in Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin)
Revolution: Pee Wee Crayton - Do Unto Others
Of course Chuck Berry and his song writers pulled a lot of material from Sister Rosetta Tharpe too.
Not their only borrowment in that song. They have a clear riff from Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” (the famous bass line) at one point in there.
Let’s see… Tori Amos in “In the Springtime of His Voodoo” has the lyrics “standin on a corner in Winslow Arizona and I’m quite sure I’m in the wrong song” —a riff on the Eagles’ “Take it Easy”
I think you mean Michael Stipe doing an Andy Kaufman style Elvis Presley style Hey Baby.
All You Need is Love starts with a few notes taken from the French national anthem.
RC, there’s a Mr Norris here who would like a word with you.
Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn. The singer compares himself to Frank Black then semi-uses lyrics from Monkey Gone To Heaven
“So if man is five and the devil is six than that must make me seven
This honkey’s gone to heaven”
On the album Beggars Banquet the Stones originally didn’t credit the bluesman who wrote “Prodigal Son”:
[QUOTE=Wikipedia]
Richards and Mick Jagger were mistakenly credited as writers on “Prodigal Son”, a cover of Robert Wilkins’s Biblical blues song of the same name.
[/QUOTE]
The intended back cover of the album had written on the toilet wall–top center no less–“Prodigal Son written by Reverend Robert Wilkins.” This went by the wayside when the original cover was rejected by Decca, but it shows that the Stones fully intended to credit Wilkins right from the beginning.
When Hook came out by Blue Traveler, I thought it was an interesting song. I wasn’t a huge fan of the group but I appreciated how they brought bluesey harmonica into their rock music and it wasn’t until much later that I read this and realized how punk rock that particular song really was:
I’m not much of a Musial guy so I didn’t know Pachelbel’s Canon was used so frequently in music as a “hook.” John Popper uses it as a hook and calls out that he’s doing it, lyrics are secondary to that hook, and he’s doing it for the money.
On “Welcome to the Pleasuredome”, Frankie Goes to Hollywood pay homage to fellow Liverpool band Gerry and the Pacemakers, with lead singer Holly Johnson singing the opening lines of “Ferry Cross the Mersey”.
“Life goes on day after day”.
Of course they did eventually cover the song.
“I’ve Seen All Good People” by Yes contains a couple of repeats of John Lennon’s line “All we are saying is give peace a chance,” just before the transition between the two sections, “Your Move” and “All Good People.”
I just happened to hear it again on the radio yesterday.
The title song from Hair includes, to the tune of “The Star-Spangled Banner”:
Oh say can you see
my eyes, if you can
Followed by “then my hair’s too short.”
There is a large part of “Adventure of a Lifetime” by Coldplay lifted straight out of “It’s Only Love” by The Beatles.
There is also the guitar solo in the Old 97s song “Salome” which steals from the Supremes’ “I Hear A Symphony”.
If we’re counting quotes in guitar solos, Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love” borrows from “Blue Moon.”
That’s really odd. I’ve heard that song a zillion times and never noticed that before.
Could it have been edited out in some versions, due to copyright or something?
It’s just really easy to overlook–it’s pretty far back in the mix. It’s much more noticeable on the live *Yessongs *version.
Also note the “Instant Karma” reference in the lyrics.
