Old Town Road to EGOT

From the first time I heard Celebrate by Metric, I knew it was a pretty shameless ripoff of Underworld's Born Slippy.

Also a more recent example: the chorus to Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do is a re-interpretation of Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy, though IIRC I think she credited them as co-writers.

Oh and Drake's Practice is a re-interpretation of Juvenile's Back That Azz Up, but Drake used to be on Cash Money Records (I don't know if he still is or not), so that was probably just a case of him paying homage to one of his labelmates:

And there's The Weeknd's Belong To The World, which he claims does not sample Portishead's Machine Gun even though it totally loving does lol
