Line 27:
* An odd one occurs on [[Pink Floyd]]'s ''The Wall'' album. The last thing you hear at the end of the album is a quiet voice asking, Isn't this...?" This matches up with the first thing you hear on the album: the same quiet voice saying, "... where we came in?"
* [[Jimmy Buffett]] pulls this off with two of his songs, released a year apart. 1986's "Who's the Blonde Stranger" (from his album ''Riddles in the Sand'') details the travails of a husband and wife, Frankie and Lola, who each cheat on each other during a vacation trip to Galveston Bay, Texas. 1987's "Frankie and Lola" (from the album "Last Mango in Paris") returns to Frankie and Lola's life just as they're patching their marriage up after a short-term separation by taking "a second honeymoon in Pensacola", when each realizes that they truly do love each other.
* [[Arlo Guthrie]] does this several times in "[[Alice's Restaurant|Alices Restaurant]]".
* New Age composer Vangelis invokes a Brick Joke structure in his ''Albedo 0.39'' album. The first track ''Pulstar'' ends with the British Post time recording. A voice is heard intoning "At the third stroke, it will be ten-three and forty seconds" followed by three beeps. Likewise for "ten-three and fifty seconds". At "ten-four precisely", the second track kicks in right where the three beeps should be. Just before the ending of track eight, ''Nucleogenesis (Part II)'', the music pauses and the listener hears a rotary telephone dial. The dialing is followed by three beeps and the climax of the track.
