Using non-original songs (not jukebox)

[JBroadway]

I was thinking about how Rocky uses Eye Of the Tiger, even though the rest of the score is original, and I was wondering how common it is for musicals to do that? What other shows use already written songs in shows with otherwise original scores (as in, NOT jukebox musicals) Off the top of my head, I can only think of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in the Lion King, and "To be With You" in Love's Labours' Lost. Are there any others?

Ghost used "Unchained Melody," 9 to 5 used the title song, Shrek used "I'm a Believer," The Wedding Singer used a song from the movie too and I think the Grinch musical used two or three songs from the original cartoon. It's not uncommon for an already established title to use an original score but keep a popular song from the previous incarnation.

I still maintain, among it's numerous faults in the end, CHAPLIN should have used "Smile." I'm sure there were rights issues, but that was a missed opportunity (among others in that show's second act.)

I was going to say The Lion King samples a little Billy Joel....but as I was typing this I realized that I'm not sure if the stage show actually used The Lion sleeps tonight. I haven't seen the stage show since 2001, so it may just be in the film.

It's in the stage version.

THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT was written by Solomon Linda not Billy Joel.
