Or there's 'dance like you're selling nails' from vsnares 'higgins ultra low track...' which uses a Georgio Moroder
melody - the same one which was also used in some dodgy trance track a few years back...
It's also fairly common for jazz guys to quote a famous tune from other jazz guys/trad.arr/classical music whatever,
I don't see a problem as long as it's used in moderation... a bit like the idm-bootlegs, which I only find amusing
in small quantities.
