Yes, the album has lots of these kinds of "direct quotes" from other pop songs. There's one that is very similar to a Cars song as well and probably a few others. Usually it'll just be a "verse from this" or a "chorus from that" so it's not like they're lifting an entire song or anything.
But still, it's probably my only complaint about the album--I do find it distracting when this kind of thing happens too much. I don't mind it once in a while, especially if they joke about it in an interview etc. It would be good if someone did ask them about these things directly as it would be good to know if they had some reason for it.
