Chicago & Styx songs have already been mentioned in this thread, but "Dialogue Parts 1 & 2" and "Lady" seem to fill the bill.
"Dialogue Parts 1 & 2" starts off as ... well dialogue. Mid-song tempo change, building to a declaration of using your strength from within to affect positive change.
"Lady" begins as a delicate ballad. With each verse, layer upon layer of musical and emotional intensity is integrated until it becomes a real rocker in the end.
Both songs have that sudden cold finish.

Ladies Night is a good example of this. The album version is great, the single version, not good. But both are songs that transform into a different song.

How about Nights On Broadway by The Bee Gees? The middle part "I will wait..." is the best part of the song IMO.

How about the bridge of LRB's Fall 1977 "Help Is On Its Way?" The calmness of the bridge really threw me for a loop the first time I heard it.
What's anyone's take on Phil Collins' Summer 1981 "In The Air Tonight" when leaving the second verse? And, I guess I should add, "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)" from Spring 1984, going into the second verse.

"Help Is On Its Way" would fit, but the two Phil Collins songs - even though they do change tempo, the melody remains the same.

For album versions, there's Sweet's "Love Is Like Oxygen". There's both an extended bridge and ending that are pretty different from what remained in the single version.

The second Chicago greatest hits album from the early 80's had Dialogue Part 2 without part 1. I've never owned that album and it doesn't seem to be on streaming sites, so I don't know if it had the cold ending.

Madonna's "Like A Prayer" would definitely be a good example. Of course, many songs have choruses that sound very different from the verses, but the fact that the tempo intermittently changes throughout the song (slow for the verses and upbeat for the choruses) make it more noticeable.

Strawberry Alarmclock-"Incense And Peppermints" from 1967 Paul McCartney-"Spies Like Us" from 1985 The Doors "L.A. Woman" (Mr. Mojo rising ) However, I don't believe that this song was ever released as a single.

Another great example is Guns & Roses' moody but stirring power ballad "November Rain". About a minute before the song ends, the song shifts gears and becomes a dramatic marching band style sing-a-long, before the melancholy close that ends with that drawn-out high-pitched note that gives me goosebumps. Speaking of GNR, "Sweet Child O' Mine" sorta falls into this category as well. The last minute or so is very different from the rest.

There is another song from "Use Your Illusion I" that has the most annoying ending with "Don't Cry". The yiiiieeeeh yiiiieeeeh yiiiieeeeh yiiiieeeeh at the end is cringe worthy. To add a different song with an different song with a different ending was the album version by The Outlaws with "Ghost Riders In The Sky". Talk about Southern Rock Speed Metal

The uptempo middle section of “Say You Say Me.”
“Girls Like You” by Maroon 5 is a pleasant ballad until Cardi B starts screaming in the middle of it.
