Line 62:
* The song "Tik Tok" by [[Ke$ha]] uses this effect on the word "tipsy", appropriately enough, as well as the final "shut us dooooown". She uses it a lot in her music, to "Self Bleep" herself and such.
* Brian Eno did a brilliant version of this trope by having a band, in entirely separate rooms, playing "Nearer My God To Thee." Every single musician was counted in simultaneously, and thus they started in sync, but they were each left to keep their own time thereafter, with the result that they drifted eerily apart, until each one was given an individual dim. to fade. The idea was not to play it for comedic effect, but to recreate the sinking of the RMS ''Titanic'', if someone had managed to record the band as she went under. Hauntingly beautiful, and kinda eerie.
** That's actually a composition called "The Sinking of the Titanic" by [https://web.archive.org/web/20130116141849/http://www.gavinbryars.com/Pages/titanic_point.html Gavin Bryars], though the original recording was on Eno's label. Bryars's idea is that the band keeps playing even after the ship has sunk, with the sound being dissipated by the underwater acoustics.
* Spacecorn's [[Speedy Techno Remake|trance remake]] of Gershon Kingsley's/Hot Butter's "Popcorn" (spelled "Popkorn") unexpectedly does this in midriff near the end, then speeds back up.
* "A Little Bit of Ecstasy" by Jocelyn Enriquez does this at the end of the slow section, before changing back to normal tempo.
