* In ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound|1994}}'', Porky's battle theme ("Cease to Exist", more popularly known as "[[FandomEnragingMisconception Pokey]] Means Business") starts off as an almost whimsical-sounding 8-bit boss tune, then suddenly shifts into much more aggressive hard rock/metal about a minute into the song.

* Iwrestledabearonce is pretty notorious for this, for example throwing a random hoedown into ''You Ain't No Family'' or the strange electronic interlude in ''[[WordSaladTitle Tastes Like Kevin Bacon]]''.

* Music/FrankZappa was very fond of this. "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" packs about [[GenreRoulette 20 different sections]] into 7 1/2 minutes, with tempos including "Slow shuffle", "Corny Swing", "Tempo di Cocktail Lounge", "Tempo di Beach Boys" and "No Tempo With Random Keyboard Effects" before ending on a "Fraudulent Dramatic Section".

Added DiffLines:

* "Concrete Angel" by Music/HannahDiamond starts out as a SynthPop ballad, before the {{Trance}}-like breakdown in the midsection--then the final [[LastNoteNightmare thirty seconds]] brings in some [[HarshNoise abrasive, glitchy synths]]. Interestingly, this version is a [[CoverVersion cover]] of an EDM song that originally doesn't have any style shifts whatsoever.
