Listening to records this weekend and I noticed 2 occurences of this. I'm sure there are many more...

1. Tom Petty- U Get Me High. 1:13 in the video clearly calling back to Don't Fade On Me from Wildflowers. "I remember feeling this way you can lose it without knowing. You wake up and you don't know which way the wind is blowing". 

 

2. Spoon- They Want My Soul. 2:17 call back to Jonathan Fisk.

 

The Beatles referencing Strawberry Fields and O-blah-di-O-blah dah, Fool on the Hill, etc. in Glass Onion.

Lulz. Next you’ll tell me Paul really is dead.

 

References their song Birthday Boy

Great song too

Also Beatles -- All You Need Is Love (references She Loves You in the fadeout)

Sting -- Love Is The Seventh Wave (references Every Breath You Take at the end)

Also Sting -- We'll Be Together (references If You Love Somebody Set Them Free)

 

I'm pretty sure Sting references his own songs . . . often.

"It's a big enough umbrella but somehow I always end up getting wet" appears in at least 3 songs.  Not a direct reference to himself or The Police, but cocky (or desparate) as hell.

The Beatles did it a fair amount as well, as indicated in a couple of the above posts.  There was also Savoy Truffle, which references Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.  John Lennon referenced I Am The Walrus in his song "God."  Harrison referenced You Really Got A Hold On Me in When We Was Fab.

I know Madonna has put prior lyrics in one or more of her songs -- just can't recall the song(s), though.

Queen-- "Fat Bottomed Girls" has the line "Get on your bikes and ride"

Queen-- "Bicycle Race" has the line "Fat bottomed girls, they'll be riding today..."

nin, only. 2:50. 

"the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab". reference to down in it. 

 

Not sure if this fits, but in two different songs Vampire Weekend uses "but this feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too"

Eminem The Monster

Now, I ain't much of a poet
But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
And don't squander it

 

 

In their song "How Are You" off their third studio album, Cheap Trick references "I Want You To Want Me" off their second album.

There is only one band at the top of the self referential mountain and that is KMFDM.  Half their songs are about KMFDM.

This is their greatest self reference creation. It  has lyrics solely made up of their own album names, song titles, and existing lyrics...

 

Thank You Fallentinme Be Mice Elf Again references like 3-4 other Sly & The Family Stone hits…
