Inspired by this thread about movies.
What songs can you think of that change at some point to what could be a completely different song?
A famous example is the Beatles’ A Day In The Life, with John’s “I read the news today, oh boy” part morphing into Paul’s “Woke up, got out of bed” segment and back again.
I can think of others, but I’ll throw it out to everybody else for more.
In some cases it can be difficult to tell the difference between this and a two-song medley, if indeed there is any difference.
But I have seen
You are not listening
Poems that are structured
When I scream at you
In such a way
That I am not listening
That when you hear them
And I am going
You will find out
Away.
Are any of those ones well-known songs?
The story behind that is that they had two songs that were in the same key but weren’t long enough to release as singles, so they simply morphed them together.
Paul McCartney’s “Uncle Albert” is three different songs in one. Different tempos, different melodies, different voice inflections. But that’s nothing new for Paul, of course.
