Hips Don't Lie

The trumpet sample at the start of the song.

Rockabye

The strings melody that comes in around 10 seconds into the song for 8 bars is very similar.

Also Changing Man's riff is very much like ELO's 10538 Overture.
When ELO was first formed, Roy Wood stated that the intention was to create a sound similar to I Am The Walrus.

The finale of The Pirate (1947), with a score by Cole Porter, is a number performed by Gene Kelly and Judy Garland called "Be a Clown." In Singin' in the Rain (1952) Donald O'Connor does a famous routine to a song called "Make 'Em Laugh," whose music is identical to that of the earlier song and its lyric nearly so. Its authors, however, are listed as Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, who wrote the rest of the movie's score. How come? Were there any lawsuits? Both movies were produced by Arthur Freed, which may mean something.

From the same album (Stanley Road), I always thought 'Broken Stones' by Paul Weller musically sounds like 'Emotional Rescue' by The Rolling Stones, as if it were a similar kind of tribute a la the aforementioned Changingman.

Pink Floyd's Breathe
https://youtu.be/mrojrDCI02k

Sounds like

Buddy Rich's version of Neil Young's Down By The River
https://youtu.be/s5_5ik5ZM6M


King Crimson's 'In The Court Of The Crimsom King' is heavily influenced by The Beatles 'A Day In The Life'

Those 2 songs sound similar to The Beatles 'Tomorrow never knows" (1966), especially the first one
