Haha, that's a tricky one!
'Wouldn't it Be Nice" famously quotes a melody from Tchaikovsky and that's never really bothered me because, like Horner, it works within the larger work of the song. Is it a straight copy? Pretty close. Is it still a good song. Yes, obviously.
Albert, that song is atrocious. But I totally hear it. Hilarious.

The writer of this long 1995 article cribbed (maybe unintentionally?) a then-recent Liz Phair lyric:
At 2 A.M., the sky is gray, the way it is in paperback detective novels.
