I saw a reference above to "Sex & Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll" and how they are melodically similar.

The story is that Ian Dury took the tune from "Old Joe Clark" after haring Charlie Haden's bass solo on Ornette Coleman's "Ramblin" - he breaks into OJC.

Now that's what I call living tradition - a folk song becomes a jazz solo becomes a rock anthem and a verbal quotation.
