There are countless instances of these. To name a couple...

Guitar from "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic" (unreleased at the time) was worked into "The Max" as an airy synth throughout the song

Horn section during the live version of "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" (from SOTT Live video) resurfaced as the horns in "Rock Hard in a Funky Place" on the Black Album

I find it really cool when he reuses his own stuff and references himself, as long as he´s not doing it all the time. I mean come on, it is his body of work, and it´s just something that only the most die-hard fans would notice. Makes it even more interesting to hear some familiar sounds, just like you´d find reoccuring details in the works and whole body of work of other great artists, like Picasso´s or especially Salvador Dalí´s paintings. Something like a trademark, a pleasant familiarity. I like it, better than stealing stuff from others, like some other producers do.

A lot of the Batman pieces sample each other.

Carmen Electra's "All That" has the same background music as Adore.

The Time's "My Summertime Thang" has the same background music as "The Latest Fashion".

"Gett Off" uses a tiny bit of "Get Off".

confused

Rockhard in a Funky Place was probably already a ready to go song, and that part of the SOTT movie is a brief cover of that song thrown in, just like SuperFunkycalifragi is thrown into Its Gonna Be a Beautiful Night.
