Closely followed by Devo's Uncontrollable Urge [Q: Are we not men? A: We Are Devo!] which liberally lifts from Led Zeppelin's Misty Mountain Hop [Led Zeppelin IV] in its intro.
NOTE: Least blatent song quotation ever - Neil Young's Borrowed Tune [Tonight's the Night] which he 'borrowed' from the Rolling Stones' Lady Jane [Aftermath]. Sing to the tune of Lady Jane:
The implications of this lyric are massive and bleak. Massively bleak, even, possibly.I'm singin' this borrowed tune / I took from the Rolling Stones
Alone in this empty room / Too wasted to write my own
Others, perhaps?
EDIT: Allmusic.com's Stephen Thomas Erlewine comes up with some bullshit argument in support of Elastica's 'song-writing' practices. I also overhauled the post, re-doing all the links that mysteriously vanished from the published version.

I think there was another Elastica/Wire 'sampling' that occured. My memory fails me regarding which songs were involved. ~Dixie
Yep, Elastica's Line Up has a very similar melody to Wire's I Am the Fly. The Stranglers also claimed Elastica's track Waking Up took the riff from their own No More Heroes.
Are you seeing the pattern here?
Great work!
