Paul's always coming up with intros that have nothing to do with the rest of the song ("Let 'Em In", "Take It Away", "Venus & Mars/Rockshow"). He's come up with the best mini-songs, and then he just sticks them together with glue.

Another "sorta" example is Stay by Shakespeare's Sister (I know the abrupt change part still lyrically fits the song's narrative, but it sounds like a few lines of a different song, and then it goes back)

You can list em if you want to - but if they're two different songs juxtaposed next to each other on a record, that's not the same thing as one song that just changes. But with zappa, you do get that same quality of sudden change, true.

The Chicago song - I remember that - it was some typically awful Chicago song from around 1984 I think - got a lot of airplay.

What about that Lionel Richie one, "Se La" or thereabouts.

A slow ballad, that around 3 minutes in, changes into "Ghostbusters" for all of 20 seconds then goes back into the original slow ballad style for about a minute left of the song...

Chameleons "Paradiso" It's almost loose and singy songy, depending on a tight beat to stay together, until right at the end, it gets taken away by a driving guitar riff that you weren't expecting but just locks everything together perfectly.

― sucka (sucka), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 19:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

The Chicago song is probably "Beginnings".

― Broheems (diamond), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm thinking of a much "newer" song. But Beginnings does that too, I think. I acn only remember the end right now.

Well, there was "Hey Jude" - Beatles - all 23 repeats of the chorus.
There goes Paul, again.
"Light My Fire" - Doors: Only the album version matters, though.
...But gettibg back to Steppenwolf's "For Ladies Only", it seems that they were trying to do the "Layla" thing with the piano solo for 3 minutes.

― jimwentworth (wench), Thursday, 22 January 2004 03:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

I agree that the coda in "Stand" is one of the most wonderful moments in recorded music.

I am thinking of "Don't Worry Kyoko" by Plastic Ono Band as well as a video by Fabolous called "Holla Back" that changes to what SEEMS like a completely different song midway through.

Springsteen's "Rosalita" has like three separate songs going on.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 22 January 2004 06:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Love - You Set The Scene
Led Zeppelin - The Ocean
Guns 'n Roses - Rocket Queen
Beatles - Happiness Is A Warm Gun [Changes twice!]
Captain Beefheart - Moonlight On Vermont [and a few dozen more]

Ideally, the two parts of the song should have different tempo, different instrumentation, different chords (different key?) and be totally unrelated lyrically. These five songs satisfy most of these 'requirements'as far as I can tell.

Also: Sorry to be a tight-arse, but I don't think songs with dual titles ("Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", "This Beat Goes On/Switching To Glide", etc.) really belong here, being effectively two songs, not one.

― Scott Bloomfield, Thursday, 22 January 2004 09:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Could the Chicago song mentioned above be "I've Been Searching (So Long)"? That definitely fits the bill, and was on their Greatest Hits album.

― Joe (Joe), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:56 (twenty years ago) link

Though "Beginnings" probably is what Kim was talking about in her original post (though it doesn't seem right to me to describe the second part as something 'unrelated', because it seems to make sense as a complement for the first part of the song)

― Joe (Joe), Friday, 4 June 2004 01:01 (twenty years ago) link

The Andrea True Connection - More, More, More

When that key change (?) and the "later sampled by that Canadian band" part come along, it feels like a completely revitalized song. The tempo doesn't really change much and it's only temporary, but it was my immediate thought on this subject.

Well, after Station To Station. But someone beat me to that.

― 57 7th (calstars), Friday, 4 June 2004 13:39 (twenty years ago) link

I think the Chicago song is
"Hard to Say I'm Sorry/Get Away" .. I don't remember it specifically, but it's in about the right time frame, and it was a Peter Cetera hit of that caliber.

So, it doesn't really qualify because it's actually two songs .. but two shitty songs that run back to back nonetheless.

OTM, some of these barely change at all.

I truly adore many songs that attempt this, and so have compiled the following list. Most of the artists here have pulled the stunt more than once, and I have merely provided my favourite example(s):

The Bark Psychosis - The Black Meat
Beck - Steal My Body Home/Diamond Bollocks/Milk And Honey/etc etc etc
BOREDOMS TO THREAD
British Sea Power - Lately
The Cooper Temple Clause - Written Apology/Did You Miss Me?/Into My Arms
Dungen - Du E För Fin För Mig
Elbow - Newborn
The Electric Soft Parade - The American Adventure
Fantomas - Delirium Cordia (which must hold some sort of record for number of changes)
The Flaming Lips - The Spark That Bled
Hood - Diesel Pioneers
Kula Shaker - Hollow Man (no, I'm not gonna defend them, suckers)
It's been said already, but Love - You Set The Scene is a GREAT shout.
MANSUN TO FUCKING THREAD (the entire 'Six' album, especially my favourite song of all-time, 'Cancer')
MARS VOLTA TO.....
Massive Attack - Group Four
Mercury Rev - Snorry Mouth
Mogwai - 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong
HI DERE MR BUNGLE
Oceansize - Saturday Morning Breakfast Show
Opeth do this in almost every song of theirs, the two different parts being GGGRRAAARR and *acoustic interlude*
Pulp - I Love Life
Roxy Music - The Bob (Medley)
Soft Machine - Moon In June
Soundgarden - Half
Spiritualized - Feel Like Goin' Home
Super Furry Animals - Mountain People
The The - Twilight Of A Champion
Tortoise - Seneca
Wilco - Poor Places

Aside from the thread criteria, the only thing these songs have in common is that they're all bleedin' fantastic!

I was listening to Harry Nilsson over the weekend and apparently he was fond of morphing songs:

"Jump Into The Fire" (the percussion jam)
"Take 54" (song turns into an advert for it's parent album)
"The Most Beautiful World In The World" (the "Walt Disney" orchestral half of the song)

Diana Ross - "Love Hangover" (The transition from slow ballad to rockin' disco monster is one of my favorite moments in recorded music.)

Have you heard the LH Almighty Mix? BRILLIANT
