Good effort, Veitedl! But there's an exact match in a Bowie song. Will give clues later if I really have to.

Scarlett's Mommy - great job! Yep, the famous line 'I heard the news today, oh boy' from 'A Day In The Life' also appears in 'Young Americans', Bowie's mid-70s song from the album of the same name. Thanks, everyone : )

"Young Americans" by David Bowie paraphrases the line "I read the news today, oh boy" from the Beatles' "A Day in the Life."
Both great songs.

I remember reading somewhere a long time ago the backing vocals Bowie said he borrowed from Beatles

major tom has some, but not word for word. the only one i can think of it "dont let me down". bowie did "dont let me down & down". the lyric was "dont let me down, down, down". i dont know if thats what you were looking for, but its the best i could think of..
