Ones I can list:
Come in the night (Dream Engine) - Verses are "Turn around bright eyes" musically, and obviously some of the lyrics too.
Who needs the young? (Dream Engine/Neverland) - Music shows up in crypt sequence in "Tanz" but not DOTV (which missed about 30% of the music?)
Hymn to fire (Dream Engine) - The riff is "The storm" and later "Tanz" Overture.
Entr'acte (Dream Engine) - Contains music that later becomes "Stark raving love", "Happy ending" and second half of "Bad for good" (which is "Hear the screams" in this show).
Mother River Song (Dream Engine) - "Ganges River" from Jim's very first score, Brecht's "A Man's A Man". The middle shows up in the instrumental for "Give me the simple life" "More than you deserve".
Hear the screams (Dream Engine) - Music later becomes another section of "Simple life" ("Gimme right now, before I have to take it)", first part of "Edging into darkness" Confidence Man, presumably "Kingdom come" Neverland workshop, second half of "Bad for good" and by extension "Nowhere fast" (not the Meat Loaf version) and "Graveyard shift". "Hear the screams" also has the lines "God speed"
Could she be the one? (More Than You Deserve) - "Tell me now, now who's playing this game?" "Souvenirs"
Come With Me (More Than You Deserve) - Jim must love this one. "Come with me" itself shows up again and again, in songs like "For crying out loud", "Left in the dark", "The future ain't what it used to be", "Seize the night", and to my ears parts of "Tonight is what it means to be young". This whole piece shows up again first in "Neverland" musically and lyrically, and then musically at the castle in "Tanz" (not the complete on Broadway.)
Song of the city of hope (More Than You Deserve) - The second half is "Rainbow" from "Rhinegold". The music also shows up again in Jim's score for "A small circle of friends" and Rory's "Vaults of Heaven" demo. The music for the verses becomes "Lost boys and golden girls" later on.
Go Go Go Guerrillas (More Than You Deserve) - Joker's song from the "Batman" musical.
If Only (More Than You Deserve) - fragments of "Seize the night" (Carpe Noctem! Carpe Noctem!)
Song of the golden egg (More Than You Deserve) - fragment of "Nocturnally yours" Confidence Man and later "God has left the building" instrumental opening dance from DOTV (not in Tanz).
Chinkachain (Rhinegold) - Part of this turns up again in "The Hunt" Neverland.
Master of the Earth (Rhinegold) - Parts of "The Hunt" again (It gets complicated with these earlier shows. There's more I could list.)
New Orleans is comin' to me (Confidence Man) - The music later becomes "The future ain't what it used to be".
Melville's theme (Confidence Man) - Music becomes "And I never really sleep anymore" for "It just won't quit". Not on the CD.
Edging into darkness (Confidence Man) - Contains music from "Bad for good" and "Making love out of nothing at all". I also hear the chorus to "Bat out of Hell" but that's probably just my ears.
Nocturnally yours (Confidence Man) - Film score "A small circle of friends" and I can hear bits of it in "Dark night of the soul" Garbo.
Pain humbles (Confidence Man) - fragments from "The Storm" (music from "The Hunt" as well which shows up in "The Storm".)
Sanctimonious Sambo (Confidence Man) - riff in the stage version, NOT on the CD, reminds me of "I'm gonna love her for both of us" riff
Milady (Confidence Man) - a superb melody, which shows up again and again in "Small circle of friends", "Vaults of Heaven" and "Tanz".
Something of this masquerade may follow (Confidence Man) - Part of the chorus later becomes "Braver than we are" musically. Music from "Braver than we are" also comes from an early play Jim did in the 70s.
Private of privates (Bloodshot wine) - The riff reminds me of "Death is such an odd thing" from Tanz. The second part is the middle of "Hero" ("Up where the mountains meet the heavens above") which was also played on the 1982 Meat Loaf tour. Before that, it was in the instrumental for "All revved up" Neverland workshop.
City night (Neverland) - Music shows up at the castle in "Tanz" but not DOTV.
Gods (Neverland) - originally from "The Good Woman of Setzuan", then we get "Bolero" and later "Eternity" from "Tanz" & DOTV.
Dance in my pants (Neverland) - some version of the Bad for good song.
Stark raving love (Bad for good) - The riff goes into "Holding out for a hero". Music goes back to Dream Engine.
Out of the frying pan (And into the fire) (Bad for good) - Riff shows up in Jim's song "A kiss is a terrible thing to waste" recorded by Everly Brothers and eventually released in 2005.
Surf's up (Bad for good) - Riff shows up again as the instrumental to "The future ain't what it used to be" original Pandora's Box version, also "Angels arise".
Left in the dark (Bad for good) - Music from "Souvenirs" (it's definitely the same music. You're not imagining things.) This song also has fragments of "Come with me" (listen to the very end, and also "And you'll know love forever You'll know love forever more Forever more!" with the orchestra before Jim comes back in.)
More than you deserve (Dead ringer) - Riff goes into "The future".
Dead ringer for love (Dead ringer) - Music from "Delta House Theme"
Total eclipse of the heart (Faster than the speed of night) - This comes back gloriously as the big love song in "Tanz".
Tonight is what it means to be young (Streets of fire) - Music becomes the finale for "Tanz".
Loving you's a dirty job (But somebody's gotta do it) - Intro appeared in earlier form in "A small circle of friends".
Rebel without a clue (Secret dreams and forbidden fire) - The riff always makes me think of "You took the words" but I could be wrong.
Original sin (Original sin) - The music goes into "Tanz".
The opening of the box (Original sin) - This is literally the second half of "The storm" sampled from the original.
More (Sisters of mercy) - Jim writes a whole new song around "I need all the love I can get" for the Catwoman's song in Batman. This version is phenomenal.
Objects in the rear view mirror (Bat 2) - Music becomes "The endless appetite" in Tanz but with a twist.
Good girls go to heaven (Bat 2) - The riff from the Meat Loaf version goes into "Seize the night" Tanz later recorded on Bat3.
In the land of the pig (Batman & Bat3) - The lyrics for the chorus date back to a draft of "Dream Engine".
Cry to heaven (Bat3) - This is the music from "Angels arise" which originally starts off in "Batman", gets rewritten for DOTV, and then this version which I heard was done as a demo for a "Cry Baby" musical.
