Switch Up Songs

[tiggerblue10]

I love songs which have multiple switches. By switch up I mean songs that have different tunes through it. What are your favourite switch up songs?

Mine are:
Child In Time, Deep Purple (heard this for the first time around 30 years ago and it blew my mind)
Band On The Run, Wings
Good Vibrations, Beach Boys

[198kHz]

My fave is Roy Orbison's In Dreams - several switches in less than 3 minutes.

Beatles - Happiness Is A Warm Gun
John Miles - Music
Toyah - Danced

Plus the vast majority of prog rock songs.

[Mozz71]

Billy Joel - Scenes From An Italian Restaurant
Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

Saw Purple perform live in the 70s, tigger, and CIT was absolutely brilliantly done. It left the album version for dead.
BoRap takes some beating though for multiple switches though many of Queen's earlier songs were also noted for this, particularly 'Liar'.

[bobbinwales]

DAY IN THE LIFE.

Ian Gillan has an amazing voice Ken.

Stairway to Heaven is another great switch up song, and yes, The Chain is brilliant.

Most were all before my time but I love them.

[JimF]

Can't detect any switches in Don't Look Back In Anger. 4/4 in C all the way through.

[Zacs-Master]

Love to love by UFO

[royfromaus]

Whirlpools' End

[Ringlet]

Boney M - Mary's Boy Child.

[Mozz71]

It's as cheesy as Jerry Mouse's breath, but John Miles' Music.

[Mozz71]

A couple with guest raps:

Kirsty MacColl - Walking Down Madison
R.E.M. - Radio Song (which goes from jangly guitar indie to power pop before the rap kicks in)

[JimF]

Can't detect any switches in Mary's Boy Child either.

[tomus42]

My favourites have already been picked - In Dreams and Happiness is a Warm Gun.

[Fairlight]

Ah Roy Orbison In Dreams. First record I bought 198kHz and still my favourite.

Vertigo by U2 has several switches and is a good song :)

[Mozz71]

Jim, I guess the Boney M tune switches when the focus moves from "Mary's Boy Child" to "Oh My Lord" as it is basically a mash up of the two.

[tomus42]

I've seen it described in terms of letters. If a normal song goes A B A B C A B where you've got verse, chorus, middle 8 as ABC, these songs just go A B C D E F etc etc. Very clever to write a song like that.

[tiggerblue10]

Paranoid Android is another great mash up song.

I quite like John Miles, Music. I know its a but cheesy, lol
