On their second album, The Book of Taliesyn, Deep Purple interpolate "Also sprach Zarathustra" by Strauss at the beginning of "River Deep Mountain High". I'd like to suggest that the previous song on the record, "The Shield", also references this piece, with its piano melody alternating between the minor and major third of the scale. Jon Lord must have really liked 2001.

I feel like "Hush" is the only cover song Deep Purple didn't mangle, but you might like "We Can Work It Out" from their next album.
