Songs that change genres while being played


Recommended Posts

I've always enjoyed Joe Jackson's "Rant and Rave" and how it changes from up tempo 5/4 to 6/8 (3/4?) lounge-y shuffle and back again a few times. Also has some of my favorite lyrics:

"Now who wants to be just a bug that they trample? Well you see what has happened of course.

'Cause instead of using the force of example, now it's just the example of force."

For some reason I wanna think this topic may have been covered some years ago on this forum so 'scuse the redundancy if so. At any rate, maybe it's time to re-examine such a, er, "concept".

There've been some songs by popular artists that are intriguing because they shift to a different type of tune right in the middle of the presentation. They may or may not opt to return to the original musical stylings.

 

I would submit that Grand Funk Railroad 's Time Machine does this crazy thing.  How did they think this crazy intro would work?  And they end the song with the same riff
