I can’t stand Cardi B. I can’t for the life of me understand her popularity.
As for Don’t Cry, I also hate that ending. What was Axl smoking when he recorded that?
I thought of a few more...(thanks at40nut). “Paradise City”by Guns N Roses and “Amazing” by Aerosmith.

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. At my warehouse job, some days they play AC or modern hits stations in which "Girl Like You" is sometimes played. After the "It's 6:45" rap segment, I'm always in suspense as to whether they play Cardi B's rap segment, or they skip it and go straight to the chorus. (It's a 50/50 chance from experience.) I always groan to myself if I start hearing Cardi's obnoxious voice.

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. Good call on Spies Like Us.

There were a few disco songs that start off as ballads and then switch to upbeat dance numbers... "Dim All The Lights" is another Donna Summer song that does that. Irene Cara's "Flashdance" was an 80's variation on that idea.

Would we included En Vogue's "Hold On" in the list too? It starts accapella then goes to upbeat 1990's R&B music.

As I am listening to the AT10 2004/2005 Christmas show: Michael Bolton's "Joy To The World" starts slow then goes upbeat with a background gospel choir.

I’m listening to this week’s show and can’t believe I forgot about this one. That’s All by Genesis. The ending sounds like it could be a totally different song.

Here's a rather obscure song - "Give" by Dishwalla. Around the four minute mark, after the final chorus, it's instrumental for the remainder of the song and the melody is completely different than the rest of the song.

It's a ballad for the first minute or so, then it starts to rock.

I'd say the middle of "Tubular Bells." The instruments change and the tempo increases. And since that part of the instrumental wasn't included in "The Exorcist," it may have sounded like a new song to first-time listeners.
