At the end of Ride's "Twisterella", Mark sings a line from, er, "Twisterella", the song purportedly written by Billy Liar in the film of the same name. And it's wonderful.

This section of Time Trap by Built to Spill sounds like a pretty direct nod to Gates of Steel by Devo.

SSION's recent "At Least The Sky Is Blue" strings multiple borrowed elements together, most conspicuously "In Every Dream Home...", "Not In Love" and "Hey Hey, My My".

(Come to think of it, Roxy Music themselves do similar in the latter half of "Remake/Remodel" innit. Classical works have likewise been known to pay tribute via borrowed melodic elements. Or so I keep reading in liner notes; they're often too subtle for me.)
