|"(Don't Fear) The Reaper"
|[[Blue Öyster Cult]]
|The band's guitarist, Donald "Buck Dharma" Roser, wrote the song. He debunked the idea that it promoted suicide, and said it was about the inevitability of death; some people interpret the lyrics as suggesting a murder-suicide because of the mention of ''Romeo and Juliet''.<ref>[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1607 (Don't Fear) The Reaper by Blue Öyster Cult.] songfacts.com, retrieved August 16, 2012.</ref>

|"Back in the USSR"
|[[The Beatles]]
|A parody of Beach Boy songs, as well as "Back in the U.S.A." by Chuck Berry.<ref>"I wrote that as a kind of Beach Boys parody. And 'Back in the USA' was a Chuck Berry song, so it kinda took off from there. I just liked the idea of Georgia girls and talking about places like the Ukraine as if they were California, you know? It was also hands across the water, which I'm still conscious of. 'Cuz they like us out there, even though the bosses in the Kremlin may not. The kids do. And that to me is very important for the future of the race."
