* The Guess Who's "American Woman" - a slow one-and-a-half minute intro followed by a slightly harder second part. The intro is commonly edited out for radio airplay.

* In Vain's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm6W3W5pvZw October's Monody] takes this trope and runs with it. Recklessly. Starting with a standard metal acoustic intro, it seems to be a Hammond organ based post-black metal song at first. Suddenly, and "like a thief in the night", it drops the post—hard, launching into an old-school blast beat section. Okay, you say, so we're settling into a back and forth between Hammond organs and black metal. Until In Vain drive a truckload of blues into the song.

* Iwrestledabearonce is pretty notorious for this, for example throwing a random hoedown into ''You Ain't No Family'' or the strange electronic interlude in ''[[Word Salad Title|Tastes Like Kevin Bacon]]''.

* "Religion Song (Put Away The Gun)" by [[Everything Else]] starts with a gentle string section, then goes to a church song, then to a rock song, then to spoken word, then back to the church song.
