Brick Joke/Music: Difference between revisions

* On one of Christine Lavin's live albums, she performs her song "Doris and Edwin: The Movie", which has a rather dark ending. She offers the audience the choice of having it turn out happily due to Doris wearing something that saves her from her fate. They usually say 'no', and do here. Later in the show (about 20 minutes later), she performs "Shopping Cart of Love- a play" in which the song's protagonist passes an accident-scene and the song's love-interest suggests everything would've been okay if only she had a prototype airbag-dress.

* "I Hope You Die" by The Bloodhound Gang has one of these.

''He cuts you off and you're forced to swerve...'' }}

** Then later...

'''Cause he's the guy you flipped the bird the other day!'' }}

* The Genesis album ''Duke'' has a short track at the start called ''Guide Vocal'' where the eponymous character claims that "nobody must know my name, for nobody would understand, and you kill what you fear." At the end of the penultimate track the guide returns to complete his statement: "Nobody must know my name, for nobody would understand, and you kill what you fear, ''and you fear what you don't understand''."

* [[The Beatles|"Glass Onion"]] is basically a [[Shout-Out]]-[[Brick Joke]]-[[Mind Screw]] all at once.

** The Beatles did several of these, Sgt Pepper (Reprise) being the most obvious. There's also the last note of "Mean Mr. Mustard" at the beginning of the 'hidden track' Her Majesty on Abbey Road.

* [[Queen]]'s album "A Day At The Races" starts with an "Intro" of which the last 20 seconds are exactly the same as the last minute of the last track "Teo Torriate".

* The insert for the [[Alex Day]] album Parrot Stories include the out-of-nowhere line "No horses were drowned in the making of this album." You finish the last listed track... and you hear the secret track The Drowning Horse Song.
