This one gets an A for effort:

"Fred Jones Part 2” is the sequel to “Cigarette,” which takes its first two lines directly from the first sentence of an article about an old man who works for a newspaper.

Almost. Fred Jones Part 2 is about a man who worked for a newspaper.  It is also a sequel to Cigarette.  Cigarette (lyrics) did come word for word from a newspaper article.  However, to my knowledge, the Fred Jones in the article did not work for a newspaper (though I shouldn't claim he did not any more than they claim he did).
