Brian's morphing tunes

Alright, I've wanted to do this for a long time. Let's make the infamous list of Beach Boy songs that morph from one tune or borrowed a riff to another. I'll throw the ones off the top of my head, but any help would be great!
County Fair to I Do
Land Ahoy to Cherry, Cherry Coupe
All Dressed Up For School to I Just got My Pay to Marcella
All Dressed Up For School -> H&V section -> Goin' On -> Nothing But Love tag
Raspberries Strawberries to At My Window
We're Together Again to Dedrie
Walkin' to parts of Morning Beat
Back Home (original, Surfer Girl album era) to Back Home (Sunflower) to Back Home (15 Big Ones)
Windchimes (original Smile version) to Can't wait Too Long bass parts
Child Of Winter to opening lines of Some of Your Love
Mike Come Back to LA to Some of Your Love
Thinkin' Bout my Baby to Darlin'
Rollin' Up to Heaven to Ding Dang
Shortenin' Bread to 50 different BW songs
Surfin' (live at Hawaii 67) organ parts to Do it Again (Brian's wordless vocals)
Surfer Girl to Girls on the Beach
Of course, the numerous Smile riffs that have morphed, I think we've covered those til we're blue in the mouth.
Trombone Dixie to Had to Phone Ya
Hawaii to Kona Coast
Save the Day to Fairy Tale
Lana (piano part) & Salt Lake City (sax break) to Desert Drive
Market Place to Message Man
That Same Old Song (parts) & River Song (rollin' on) to Rio grande
My Solution to Happy Days
Doin' Time on Planet Earth to Being with the One you Love
Turning Point to You've Touched Me
Let's go to Heaven in My Car to Water Builds Up
San Miguel to parts of Someone to Love
Let's Stick Together to The waltz
Sweetie to Love YA
Dancin' the Night Away (parts) to How can we still Be Dancing?
I'm the Pied Piper to Lazy Lizzie
Belles of Christmas to Belles of Paris to On Christmas Day
Love to Say Dada to Cool Cool water
Honda 55 to All dressed up for School
Mountain of Love to Little Children
Da Do Run Run to Couldn't get his poor old body to move
"Do Ya" -> "How's About A Little Bit"
Fire-->Rio Grande
Rio Grande-->Morning Beat
Night Bloomin' Jasmine - Rio Grande
Don't Worry Baby - San Simeon
Southbay Surfer - Surfin' Down the Swanee River (The Honeys)
Baker's Man - Hide Go Seek (The Honeys)

I just listened to "Speed Turtle" to see why our glorious moderator hates it so, and it's really very boring with such an obviously phoned-in, uninterested lead
and
backing vocals from Brian. Why even bother recording it and giving it to the compilers? Everyone knows you're not interested in singing surf-car-girls songs anymore already, even if it's for the kiddies!

"Love To Say Dada" ended up being "Cool Cool Water". Part of "Wind Chimes" ended up in "Been Way To Long". The melody to "All This Is That" ends up in "Happy Days". This raises a question though. Exactly how do we tell the difference between melodies morphing into other songs, and "musical references", where something from one song is quoted in another song, in a deliberate way? Let's use Brian's Back as an example. "You Still Believe In Me" is quoted at the end of "Brian's Back", but it's more of a deliberate reference to another song, as apposed to one melody idea progressing from one song to another.

A thing or two -> Do it again (you can sing the latter over parts of the former).

On the second Celebration album (simply titles "Celebration") Mike & co covered Gettin' Hungry in a totally different style then one would expect. Plus that Da Love wrote an extra couplet just for kicks...

A couple of additions:
All Dressed Up For School -> H&V section -> Goin' On -> Nothing But Love tag
They're Marching Along does not change into Little Children. It is the same song with a different title. I'd be careful of stuff like that and Doin' Time on Planet Earth going to Being with the One you Love. Those songs, for example, are the same backing track and melody, with a slightly rewritten lyric. So has the song morphed? ... I dunno. The same goes for Black Widow -> Let's Do it Again, although there's slightly more transformation in the chorus there.

The melodies for such lines as 'Dusk time the shadows fall / Into the timeless time of all' are rather similar to 'Happy days are here again / The sky is blue and clear again...'

Listen to the "happy days are here again, the sky is blue and clear again" part, and try singing the verses of All This Is That on top of it. It's very similar. At least, to me it is.
