How about one that really rocks? Slade's "Let the Good Times Roll / Feel So Fine."

And a great one at that! How did you know about that Slade song?

Oh, I've known about that one for a long time, ever since--just kidding! I actually only stumbled across it today looking through old Slade albums.

The last two songs on Dark Side of the Moon - Brain Damage and Eclipse - are forever linked together. Whenever they've been played in concert by Floyd or Waters, they've been played together. When you hear them on the radio, they're together.

... a thread not for medleys as such but for combinations of just two songs originally sung by others. John Lennon had two on his overlooked 1975 album, Rock 'n' Roll. Track 3: Rip It Up/Ready Teddy Track 10: Bring It On Home To Me/Send Me Some Lovin'

How about when half the song is a new original and the other half is a cover? While not half and half, Eddie Money's hit song "Take Me Home Tonight" incorporates "Be My Baby". Although, by bringing in Ronnie Spector to reprise her role, it breaks JK's rule of being "originally sung by others". I guess I'll accept 1/4 credit for this submission.

Oldies radio strikes again! Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels cover of "Devil With A Blue Dress On" incorporates "Good Golly, Miss Molly".

This one came to mind in another context on this forum (thanks, Cap'n). I bought and played half of the Gary Lucas comp Level (the) Playing Field mere hours before the tragic events of 11 September 2001. Track #7 combines a theme from Miles' album Jack Johnson with Suicide's "Ghost Rider" and was recorded "live at CMJ at the Knitting Factory NYC 10/91" by Gary Lucas (guitar), Jared Nickerson (bass) and Michael Blair (drums): www.discogs.com/Gary-Lucas-Level-The-Playing-Field-Early-Hurly-Burly-1988-1994/release/2550105

Fantastic!
I saw Lucas do a combined multimedia lecture/performance of the music of Captain Beefheart with a horn section at a local art museum (The Walker) circa the early '00s. It was all instrumental, nobody tried to fill the Captain's shoes. Amazing musicianship and some fine stories about the old days (as well as video, photos, and audio clips).

I bumped into Gary Lucas at a book launch the week before 9/11. Almost literally bumped into him -- this was the last time I was horribly, disgustingly drunk (how I got home I don't know). I somehow managed to compliment him on his choice of guitarists on a Dutch radio show he'd guested on. He was about to call a taxi as he'd got wind of a plan to thrust a battered flat top guitar into his hands and get him to play some stuff. This actually happened, and I remember him playing one of the things he'd demo'd for Jeff Buckley. I originally came here to link The G-Clefs' 1961 hit "I Understand (Just How You Feel)". Now this combines two songs simultaneously, the song in the title (first recorded in 1953) and "Auld Lang Syne": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Understand_(Just_How_You_Feel)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne

The night I mentioned, the two friends with whom I attended the show went off to an after-party where I understand Lucas was; but I (also pretty drunk, to be honest) went home. So I didn't meet him.

Not that it's 100% relevant to this topic, but "Time" by Rita Coolidge puts "Layla" in quite a new light. (Of course this may be old news and I'm the last in line.)
