Sampling (which also includes Interpolation, which is what that Beatles song did).

Is there a trope for musical numbers that borrow music/lyrics from other songs/compositions? I know it'd probably be considered a variety of Shout-Out, but I'm wondering if there's something more specific (and if not, whether there should be).
- An obvious example is The Beatles' song "All You Need is Love", which samples "The Marseillaise", "In the Mood", "She Loves You", and "Greensleeves", among others.
