Songs That Sound Like Two Songs Squashed Together
Inspired by the duet rumours on the X Factor thread, I've been thinking abiout songs that sound like two (or more!) songs squashed together. Sometimes they're duets. Sometimes they sound like two halves of two songs with an end that sounds nothing like the beginning. Sometimes they have a completely random bit in the middle before going back to the beginning song.
So far on my list I have: Mr Blue Sky - ELO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98P-gu_vMRc Band On The Run - Wings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBX2dySWGew The Chain - Fleetwood Mac http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T0Dq_SXaWc Say Say Say - Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLEhh_XpJ-0 A Day In The Life - The Beatles (thank you Heavenly!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiFYOn1AFms Any others? |

Funny you should mention this... there was a band I was trying out last night. Lupo Label. I wasn't sure what they were trying to do, but I suspect the closest answer would be 'everything'.
Teehee. |

The one that immediately sprung to mind was Robbie Williams - Bodies. It sounds like 2 or 3 songs roughly welded together. It doesn't really have the desired effect, I feel...

Teehee. There most famous track - Early Riser on Adam & Joe Go Tokyo More regular, surely Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is a definite mash up. |

Girls Aloud, Biology's already been mentioned but Something Kinda Ooh fits as well.

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper.
They sliced a song in half, and put a cockrock prog esque solo that doesn't seem to fit in the middle of it, then squished it back together |

Song Sandwich? Quote:
That was at least five different songs! There may have been more, I couldn't get through it all!
![]() I suppose that's OK though. A lot of old-school punk fans seem to like them, and it's probably because they were one of those bands who're there to entertain and arse around rather than be genii. Sorry. Just needed to confess, and as I am an atheist the Vicar wasn't an option, so you got it. Won't happen again. I promise. Quote:

"Hard To Say I'm Sorry" by Chicago. The main part of the song is slowish and melodic and romantic etc., but the last minute or so is some awful soft rock that's a completely different tune and tempo. It's bizarre.

Girls Aloud-Sexy!No No No. I think a 3 minute version of the intro would be an excellent track on its own!

A lot of Girls Aloud songs sound like that. The first one that came to mind (apart from the ones already mentioned) was Close To Love. Also Crocodile Tears and Watch Me Go.
I guess Mini Viva's Left My Heart In Tokyo might count as well. And Sugababe's Ace Reject (the full length version not the radio edit). All the ones I've mentioned are Xenomania-produced tracks interestingly. |
