** A lot of Slim Shady songs tend to use a particular [[{{Scales}} tonality]] in the hook, which is supposed to imitate the sound of a [[HockeyMaskAndChainsaw revving chainsaw]]. It's a 'melody' beginning with a one-syllable leap from a speaking pitch to the top of Eminem's vocal range, and then slowly wheedling downwards until the next one-syllable pitch leap up. This originated in the hook of "The Real Slim Shady" ("''ii'''I'M''' Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady...''"), but can also be heard in the hooks of "Without Me" ("''nnow'''THIS''' looks like a job for me...''"), "Business" ("''ll'''LET'S''' get down to business...''"), "Just Lose It" ("''noww'''I'M''' gonna make you dance...''"), and "3 a.m." ("''it's th'''REE AM''' in the morning, ''pp'''PUT''' my key in the door...''")

* The Beach Boys/ Brian Wilson's Music/{{SMiLE|TheBeachBoys}} features multiple, distinct variations of the Bycicle Rider theme and of the centerpiece Heroes and Villains; so many ,in fact, that most of the songs of the album could be thought as subsections of it. Its actual symbolism is up to discussion, due to the fragmented and unfinished character of the work, but it seems to represent the theme of travel throughout history and America from Plymouth to Hawaii.
