Hm, kind of...it segues into the original recording of TKAA, but I didn't think of that bit as part of "Helpless Dancer" necessarily.

The Jefferson Airplane's "The House at Pooneil Corners" sort of counts, but the reference to "The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil" is limited to the title, I think, and isn't found in the lyrics.

Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls/Bicycle Race might be the winner here, as each song from the single references the other side.
