The Beatles’ You Never Give Me Your Money and Pink Floyd’s Time (which has a reprise of Breathe at the end). ---

I was about to submit the Beatles’ _You Never Give Me Your Money_ but **typhoon** beat me to it. Steely Dan’s **Aja** is comprised literally of two songs that couldn’t stand alone by themselves but melded together make the perfect fit. ---

BNL’s _Hello City_ has a bit of Housemartin’s _Happy Hour_ in the end. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Slacker \* > \*\*Sloan “Suppose They Close The Door” \*\* Someone else knows about my favourite band! Woooo! Actually, “Suppose They Close the Door” **is** two songs. Chris writes in the liner notes to _4 Nights at the Palais Royale_ that it’s “made up of 2 recordings spliced together.” He had two incomplete songs when it came time to record _Navy Blues_, and the band just decided to make one song out of them. ---

“The James Bond Theme” is supposedly two tunes stitched together, as are Edgar Winter’s “Frankenstein” (thus the title) and Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.” ---

“Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler. My ex was like **auntie em** ’s mom, she could never recognize the last part of the song from the first part. We used to play “name that tune” in the car, and I would get her all the time with this one, I’d name the title, and she’d say “no way!” only to recognize it later. ---

Alanis Morrisette has two songs that change rhythm mid-stream: **Ironic** and **Uninvited**. ---

“And When I Die” by Blood, Sweat, and Tears veers madly between two (or three, depending on how you count) rhythms. ---

At the risk of appearing to be a fan (which I am not, just happen to remember this song, I swear it!!) Lionel Richie, “Say You, Say Me” I’m a country gal myself, but back in the day (the high school day that is 🙂 this was a popular song. ---

Can’t believe no one has yet mentioned Sweet’s “Love is Like Oxygen”, Tears for Fears’ “Head Over Heels”, Herbie Hancock’s “Rock It”, or Blondie’s “Rapture”. Two from the genre of rap - Newcleus’ “Jam on It” and M.A.R.S.S.’ “Pump up the Volume”. ---

Doobie Brothers’ “Black Water” comes to mind. They’re not related, but the doobie brothers! ---
